Title: Buckling springs keycaps
Post by: Entropia on Thu, 23 March 2017, 16:34:49

A simple question: are all buckling screen keycaps the same or are they different depeding on the row, as happens with Cherry or OEM profiles?

They are different depending on the row. The bottom row uses what's called a space bar, and is a lot longer. Others use two Shifts, one has  Backspace, etc. Those are all different.

They are uniform profile - it is a curved plate that gives the impression of a sculpted profiles.
