It's not actual sharkskin, it's acrylic, but the micro ridges give it a grippy, textured feel like its namesake. These low profile alps key caps are CNC machined out of acrylic with an aggressive spherical indentation for finger location awareness. They're also a huge pain in the ass to make, and I'll be glad when I have enough of them to fill my keyboard.

The custom I'm working on at the moment has a 4 unit spacebar, which is a nice size but still needs stabilisation. Hell, even 2u wants a stab. I've heard 1.75u works okay as a spacebar, but I'm not convinced. Besides, 4u is the smallest size I can get that's convex.

I'm going for a kinesis advantage type layout where the spacebar and other thumb keys are often (always in my case) taller than they are wide. I still like a concave rather than convex shape for all keys. This is the key model for the thumb cluster, on which there will be 3 of them fanned in an arc.
At only an inch in height it should not require stabs.

an inch is approximately 1.5u, you definitely don't need stabs
