First post ever...
I care deeply about profiles!
I tried OEM, Cherry, DSA, DCS, XDA, SA,
KAT,
KAM,
MT3, Apple Extended Keyboard profile, and Alps.
I have not yet tried
Apple IIGS,
HSA (half SA), or
NP (Novel Pro).
Without a doubt,
sculpted profiles are better for typing.
- I prefer Apple Extended Keyboard Profile and Cherry for every single key except for the Function keys and the Space Bar.
- For Function keys, I like SA!
- For Space Bar, I like OEM, as I only use my thumb for the space bar, and never use my thumb to hit z/x/c/v/b/n/m/,/. keys. OEM is slightly taller, so easier to hit.
I've used a lot of wooden/walnut keys, but they are only available in OEM, like so many sets. I've decided to only look for Cherry.
I only use AKEII keys on all my Alps boards, but since AEKII modifiers are weird sizes, and Apple has a weird space bar size, I mix/match when I have to.
I would like to think that Apple IIGS, HSA (half SA), and NP (Novel Pro) could be my new favorites, but they are so hard to get.TLDR: Sculpted is the way to go, in my opinion! And, as OEM and SA is too tall, try Cherry or HSA! For Alps, try AEKII keys
