Title: [IC] A profile bottom row
Post by: jonathanyu on Sat, 03 May 2014, 01:11:38: Just an interest check of A profile bottom row

seems some people(me) prefer A profile bottom row. but A profile bottom row is not easy to find.
So how about a group buy of it?

color: blue on grey, black on grey.
keys include: 2x--1 0(numpad), enter?(not sure)
1.5x--2 Control, 2 Alt, 1 Alt Gr
1.25x--2 Control, 2 Windows, 2 Alt, 1 Menu
1x--1 left arrow, 1 right arrow, 1 down arrow, 2 blank, 1 .(del on numpad)

It's flatter, right?

Row A is what the Space Bar profile was made to be next to.

I wouldn't mind a set of blue on grey, because it would be like a moogle kit for a typewriter set. Awaiting price, of course.

Put your spacebar next to any key from bottom row, GMK spacebar is A-profile while the rest are B

Spacebar is not really either. It's taller than B-profile and shorter than A-profile.

True. I have sanded an A-profile thick-walled key down to spacebar profile. Very thin in spot, though.

oh wow, never really have a direct comparison to realize this :(

but then the question comes: why do they have to do this, isn't the same height for a row better?
