JTK has been working on a new keycap profile for a while now and asked us to introduce it to the community.
HSA or
HALF SA is a
double shot ABS keycap profile with a glossy finish. As the name implies, it’s a shorter variation on the SA profile while still being
spherical and sculpted.
Most of the HSA molds have been created and a good number of prototype keycaps have been made to test the profile and verify the quality of the legend and the finish.
They shipped some keycaps of this first batch to us so I could show and share them around to get some initial feedback.



JTK has a strong desire to get more connected to the community and work directly with designers on keysets.
We shared a lot of feedback that has been going around in various community circles and they are taking this by heart and already made changes to their CA (Cherry) profile as well as the new HSA profile based on our feedback.
Some of the feedback they worked on:- The legend sharpness of their CA profile has been improved.
- ISO (Nor, De, Uk) keycaps are being molded for both CA and HSA.
- Various molds with legend inconsistencies or oddities (“back space”) are being replaced.
- Allow and quote costs for novelty keys
They shared the 3d models with us so we could conjure up some renders of the currently available keys.

They are producing a single set for us to once again be able to share with the community. I hope to have it with me on a keyboard to the keyboard meetup in Paris end of August to get some impressions there. I will probably ship it to some streamers after that and help setup designers that want to design a set with their new profile.
We are currently considering running an early group buy for either White on Black or Beige on Brown as seen on the renders. Feel free to let us know what you would like to see first!
