I need some help to clarify myself about keycap profiles
Posted: 16 Sep 2019, 08:23
Hello guys. I'm designing a keyboard from the switches to the case (or really just dreaming about it). When I was modeling the keycaps I found something really interesting.
You'll see, when I have my Selectric keycaps lying on my desk, they look something like this:
Buuuut, when they are on my beamspring, this thing completely fucks up and the keycaps are like this (it's the same with the original keycaps too):
Am I missing something? Is this desired and normal? I wonder which one of the profiles is the correct, or if even both are correct. For example, I can tell by the pictures that SA keycaps have the "type 1" profile, when my NMB keyboards clearly have the "type 2" one.
I also would be glad to hear about other profiles that you like. Thanks.
