Keycaps play a vital role in mechanical keyboards, contributing not only to aesthetics but also to the overall typing experience.
To better un the profile used in the Dygma keyboards, let's take a look at some of the keycap profiles:
- SA Profile (Spherical All): This high-profile profile with a rounded top is known for its classic, elegant look and is often preferred for its sculpted design.
- DSA Profile (Distributed Structure All): This profile has a uniform keycap height across all rows and is popular for its clean, modern appearance. It is ideal for those who enjoy a flat typing surface.
- OEM Profile: The most common and widely used profile, slightly curved and sculpted. It offers a comfortable and familiar feel.
- XDA Profile: This medium profile has a flat, cylindrical top and is known for its uniform keycap height across rows. It offers a sleek and modern appearance.
- Cherry Profile: Named after Cherry MX switches, this profile is slightly lower in height. It provides a balance between comfort and aesthetics.
For the Dygma Defy, we chose Cherry profile keycaps because of their ergonomic and low-profile design. The decision was driven by a desire for a sleek keyboard and user comfort with sculpted keycaps.
We chose OEM Profile keycaps for the Dygma Raise and Raise 2 because they are more widely available.
