Uniform Cherry Profile : Dolch? Beige?
With all the hype from people about new keycap profiles I am here to propose something a tad different with an existing profile we all know and love: Uniform Cherry.
I am proposing to do a set using all Row 4 keycaps (bottom row) making it completely uniform. This allows less keys in the full kit to cover more boards similar to DSA sets, whilst keeping some angle to the typing experience.
Why Row 4?
That is simple: Because the keycaps/molds already exist in all sizes in R4: 1u | 1.25u | 1.5u | 1.75u | 2u | 2.25u | 2.75u | 6u | 6.25u | 7u
Cost?
Still TBD - Still kicking tires with the idea to see if its worth pursuing further.
Some may be worried about spending too much on something they will dislike; thus I propose that the initial run we do a small kit that can cover 65% and smaller boards, so the debut of a uniform cherry set isn’t as harsh on the wallet.
Material?
With the goal of keep cost down I’d like to do a PBT Dyesub kit. I have spoken to a company that believes they can do some good reverse dye sub, so I’d like to challenge them with doing a Dolch style reverse dye sub. If that is unrealistic then a plain beige ala Enjoy PBT set will have to do.
Kit?
65% and smaller; feedback welcome but know I want to keep the kit as small as reasonably possible with covering as many common compact boards as we can.
Option 1 - Plain Beige

Option 2 - Dolch

But my ORTHO! But my 38.35%!
Like I said kit is open for discussion, but we can’t add too many keys so this can be cheap cheap cheap!
(PS - Love note from a non 40% user here; can you 40% keyboard designers get on the same page when it comes to keysizes??? k thx bye)

Are you nuts?
Probably but I have tested the theory out mix and matching a bunch of other sets and I am quite satisfied. Granted its not 100% like Cherry but the uniform sculpt is better than flat DSA anyday. :thumb:
