Title: Best keycaps for a curver layout (like MS Sculp)
Post by: mamcx on Wed, 08 June 2016, 13:09:05

I'm researching how made a keyb like the MS Sculp. Is a curved layout.

About keycaps I understand that sculped could be problematic. So I asked and direct me to:

So look like is between LP FAMILY  and DSA FAMILY but wich? Or exist something that could be better?

If this is a keyboard for just you, take your pick, though LP would likely be closer to the MS Sculpt.  If for others, chances are people will put on whatever they want.

I would think that spherical caps would work better in curved key wells and bent plate/pcb type applications. Just because they're rounded on the top. DSA?
