Title: Side Pic of Cherry Profile?
Post by: Pac Caps on Sun, 26 January 2014, 13:35:26
SP has side pictures of all their profiles, such as:

for DCS.

Is there a similar picture for Cherry profile? A sketch like the one for SP or a real picture of cherry caps from the side would suffice.

Though modern Cherry sets have double B and double E and don't use A or F.

Are the 3800 overall the same height as regular cherry, or lower? Has anyone here tried typing on them? They look interesting.

The 3800 series is almost half the height of traditional Cherry profile.

I have no picture, but
- the G80-3800's keycaps are cylindrical, somewhat leaning with a larger front than back. Almost precisely like an older laptop keyboard. As low profile as you can get on Cherry.
- the DSA profile is spherical and completely symmetric. You can rotate a blank DSA key 90° and it will look the same as before. It is medium-profile.

DSA profile is not low-profile. SP calls it "medium-profile". The keys are as high as the lowest profile-row on OEM profile.
