Very large keycaps? 1.2 to 1.5 cm
« on: Wed, 06 May 2015, 10:18:04 »
I am looking for a very large keycap fitting the escape key, very large (30-40-50% larger than the normal one.)

Does this exist?

Thank you

In that case I would recommend Titanium.

Depending on what you mean by large, if by widest then maybe this:  http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products/specialty-custom-keys/flat-keys

If by tallest then maybe this:  http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/big-red-eject-key/

If you just want something gigantic then you can always take a blank keycap and glue something over top to make it huge lol.

Yes sorry, I mean large as in tall - height. This eject key would do, but I am not sure if the surface area is smaller than normal keys? Little detail, but if is not smaller in surface area then it is very good. Thanks. This is for cherry MX switches.

If you look here you'll see that the tallest caps are SA row 1.  The Big Red Eject looks to be row 3 SA (it has a flat top) so it's slightly shorter than the tallest at around 1.2cm but still a significant step up from OEM caps.

For anyone who wants real big keycaps, there’s always the Alps-compatible BigKeys keyboard:
