Hi,
With the jelly key space soon arriving I'd like to work on a setup with a keycap set that will suit.
I've seen diagrams showing certain rows of caps but without any scale diagrams.
With experience, anybody recommended a profile that is similar in height to SA on the space bar line?

If you don't like PMK's SA colors you could possibly order a 'Filco Doubleshot' set from Keyboardco. Same size as SA but one uniform color (dark brown from what folks had said on this forum, or TAA). I'm not sure of the profile though. Keypuller's (matt3o) mention of the profile: "The function and number rows are in SA Row-2 while all the other keys are in Row-3."
If that doesn't suit your needs you may have to find some vintage keycaps such as a set of Commodore 64 keycaps, and order the Commodore to Cherry MX conversion stems from Shapeways. There are some tall sperical vintage keycap sets with what appears to be cherry mx compatible stems but most are not compatible with any cherry mx type switches.

Sure thing, I think the total order price is around $70 USD for American types. One of the best keycap deals imo
