Several older profiles are making a comeback, along with some new ones.
I understand we have some 'half-size' SA profiles now, including 'HalfSA' [HSA] and KAT profiles.
There had been some discussion and debate on this forum about what constituted the best implementation of a short SA-profile.
For example, it was argued that simply reducing the length of SA profile is not sufficient, since SA profile probably wasn't properly angled to modern Cherry ANSI keyboards in the first place. So it needed to follow a more carefully-designed profile curve.
Did any of these new short SA profile sets reflect what is supposed to be a more ergonomic design?
You can see the original hypothesis that classic SA-profile is not meant for modern boards, here:

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=93584I guess what I'm asking here, is which of these profiles is a 'success' in being ergonomic on modern boards? I guess it's highly subjective, because there are many people who like ordinary SA profile. But which of these profiles are sculpted along the lines of DCS/Cherry/OEM for modern keyboards? Or does it even matter?
