I haven’t seen anything about these keycaps anywhere else, but alexotos posted a sound demo yesterday using a prototype CXA profile by Cannon Keys. According to Alex, “They are a profile similar in height to cherry but with a scooped top. They are double shot (abs + pbt mix).”
This is definitely one I’d have to experience to know whether I liked it or not though. I prefer the high-profile caps and so far haven’t found a lower profile that I genuinely enjoy.
I’m curious if these are sculpted or uniform. I’m a big fan of uniform mid-height profiles like XDA and KAM but I love the scoops on MT3 so I think these could be something I’d really like.
In terms of sound, I wonder how much the plastic blend will affect that? Cannon Keys seems to be going the RAMA KATE CAPS route by blending ABS and PBT in one keycap.
I’m a little skeptical, it looks like a rebranding of older ADA keycaps that were notorious for faded legends. At least ADA can be grabbed for a lower price on Taobao
I’m hoping it will be better than that, but it’s good to be skeptical on these new blends of ABS and PBT that CXA and RAMA CAPS are using. Are the blends the best of both or the worst? Really remains to be seen until people have had them in daily use for a few months to a couple years.
Found a Twitch stream that includes a side profile diagram! It should start right when the side profile schematic is on screen, but just in case, it appears at the 3h mark.
(edit: forum didn’t like the Twitch embed so switched to a text link)
