What keycap profile are custom WASD clusters?
« on: Thu, 19 March 2015, 09:14:56 »
What profile caps are used for most custom WASD sets?

Since there are  many OEM profiles, cherry profile, etc, what is mostly used to make WASD sets? 

Do these artisan caps have their own profile?

I want to try making custom WASD keycaps, potentially for sale.

I believe the Clack ones are OEM profile but if you want to please a crowd make them in Cherry :)
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I've never owned a Clack set, but this is what I've heard as well.

And +100 to making a Cherry profile set.  :D
