What profile are the keycaps on Leopold FC750?
« on: Tue, 13 October 2015, 03:33:16 »
So I'm thinking of purchasing a Leopold FC750, with the PBT caps.

On the pictures, however, they seem a little bit lower height than regular OEM keycaps. Does that mean they are Cherry profile? Or are the keycaps indeed OEM profile, but just look like Cherry profile because of their shape?

They should be Leopold's own low profile they have a fancy name for it that escapes me at the moment, very similar to cherry profile.

Yikes. That's a big difference. Looks like I'll have to get a set of OEM-sized caps if I purchase the Leopold, then.

Yes, Leopold has its own profile. They make some elegant keycaps, but I have found the profile too low for my needs. I need OEM profile, which is higher than Leopold or Cherry profile.

Slight OT, but are all Ducky keycaps, even the sets sold separately, all OEM-size? Or are there some types that are Cherry-sized?

Unless they've changed recently all Ducky caps should be OEM profile.
