Can you identify keycap set for me please? Looking for beige/retro OEM

[replicant]

Hello all. I'm looking for beige/retro/9009 coloured set but in OEM profile, best if it would be made of PBT instead of ABS. I stumbled upon the following picture but with I can't find what it is:

This is the only beige coloured set that I could find in OEM profile. There is plenty of ABS options but in Cherry profile which sounds too thin for me. Another set that I find is new Ducky white/grey set but it's too bright. Please let me know if you know what that set is or if you have any other suggestions. Thank you very much in advance.

Welcome to Deskthority!

The linked picture are actually Cherry profile caps. Those caps are not thin (they are actually very thick), they are just not as high as OEM profile. I personally don't know a set which fits your demand which is true OEM profile. The closest one is probably TaiHao Cubic profile. That should be similar high as OEM profile but the keycaps are more edged.
I'm not sure what's the best place to buy them but here you have some links for more research:

Is it really cherry profile? I have OEM set in front of me and I could swear the one in the picture is OEM as well. Cherry would have sharper edges while OEM is slightly curved. If that's really the case then I guess I won't find anything retro in OEM

OEM profile is a very very un-particular term. Cherry profile is technically a OEM profile, its cherries OEM. which makes your search even harder. if by oem you mean taller-than-cherry profile then theres many options such as tai hao cubic and more if you need some links

Hmm I was not aware of the terminology then. For me the gold standard for OEM is Vortex PBT keycaps. Ideally I would like to find something in the "taller-than-cherry" profile in beige colours but now that task seems impossible. I will appreciate any suggestions, cheers.

The keycaps on the OP’s photo look a bit taller than the keycaps on my G80, but it may be just an optical illusion.

Most of the keycaps look like Cherry original double-shot keys, except for the the keys on the front row. They look like a "Moogle kit" with keys in Signature Plastics DCS profile and a replica of Cherry's font. These kits were ordered from SP before GMK started offering sets of the real deal to the community. They were intended to let winkeyless sets with 1.5u modifiers scavenged from old keyboards fit on newer keyboards where the modifiers are 1.25u.

Look closely at the right side of the keyboard. You can see that the right Control key is angled slightly more than the right Shift key. You can also see that the key edges come to sharp corners at the bottom at the sides, which they do not do at the front.
DCS profile has soft corners and a sharper angle on the bottom two rows (ZXCV, mods) but is otherwise very similar to Cherry profile.
