Title: What keycap profile is this? (Filco Majestouch Tenkeypad)
Post by: Tangtawan on Fri, 23 September 2016, 08:44:59
Hi, i have been using the Filco Majestouch Tenkeypad for awhile now, and is currently looking to replace its keycap with aftermarket one. The problem is.. i have tried OEM profile and the R4 caps still seems a bit too low for the top row of this keypad. what kind of profile should i be looking into?

Thanks

It is OEM profile, as far as I'm aware. The issue is that not all the profiles we call OEM are actually identical. Perhaps someone can recommend a specific manufacturer that works well for your needs? I typically use Cherry profile, which is a bit lower than what you have in your picture.

yes, it does look like i have an OEM profile, R1 R2 R3 R4 is identical to OEM.. but the top row seems odd and i dont know what kind of key are those? maybe it specifically made for this majestouch tenkeypad?
