Hello all,
I have never used my Blue Alert R2 ISO Keycaps until now.
I just realize those two keycaps may have their legends off-centered.
For comparison, GMK WoB on the left
Is it something that have been previously noticed and feedbacked ?

This got me interested, so I did a little research.
From what I understand, GMK has both legend molds, and they're both technically correct. One is centered within a 1.25U space, while the other is centered within a 1.50U space. It's up to the designer to decide which one to use. Based on the renders that were shown, the 1.50U-centered version should have been used.
That made me curious: which one was actually used on vintage Cherry keyboards?
After a bit of digging (like 2 minutes lol), it looks like the 1.50U-centered version was the one Cherry originally used, although it's entirely possible that both versions existed and I simply haven't come across examples of the other one yet. I attached an image I found on Google for reference.

I absolutely love discovering and talking about these little legend details
