Title: Which profile is this key cap?
Post by: mljs54 on Wed, 20 November 2013, 16:12:49
Please see attached images.  I was hoping someone could help me out with identifying which profile this cap is, or at least a somewhat comparable profile I can buy for MX switches.  Thank you

It looks to be either SP DCS or Cherry profile. I'm not very good with profiles though.

Where did it come from?

I'd go with what SpAmRaY said.

It is too short to be OEM, and not DSA or SA.

The stem is long, but it is not BS, and probably not Topre, so it is possibly from a RD keyboard?

It came from a Lenovo KB.  Love the way the keys sit on that thing. When I compare it to a Filco OEM its almost 1/3 shorter.

Yes, alphas and mods.  I love low profile like this for gaming.

DSA - but be aware that SP DSA can be very tight on the switches.  There are several threads here about that.

Thanks.  Looks like I'll have to check DSA out.  Any good sets that are readily available from the vendors?

I like low-profile key caps too and there is this board called "Cherry MX-Board" (G80-3800) that has low profile POM keycaps that as far as I know don't exist except for on that board. But they are awesome -- lower profile than anything else I've seen (in my admittedly limited experience).
