Why would you wish for SP profile over real Cherry profile?Findecanor wrote: - Signature Plastic-profile on most keys, which is the same as Cherry-profile except the ZXCV-row which has a more acute angle. This is lower profile than the predominant "OEM profile". Less key wobble, lower-profile keyboard.
Group buys are predominantly SP. If you want to replace some, but not all, keycaps on the keyboard, then it would be nice to have matching profiles, e.g. all DSA. (Signature Plastics is a company, not a profile; like how Adobe is a company, not a program.)Broadmonkey wrote:Why would you wish for SP profile over real Cherry profile?Findecanor wrote: - Signature Plastic-profile on most keys, which is the same as Cherry-profile except the ZXCV-row which has a more acute angle.

!Thank you for the input, we do have for our normal Quick Fire mechanical Range Stealth KBs available with a clear top and the print on the front/side of the keycap. But no completely blank keycaps.IvanIvanovich wrote:All I know is I want the Cherry profile keycaps shown in the first teaser photo. CM should make those also available separately as an aftermarket upgrade keycap set for QFR/XT. Even better still would be to switch to those across the board. IT would give a clear quality advantage to almost all the competition product.
Thanks. The picture with the seperate numpad is only a demo board but for further plans with this Topre/Cherry Switch I cannot comment on at this stage. The picture if the first pic will be our starting point.bianco wrote: this just might make me jump back to cm again.
kudos on the amazing development
i don't mind the switches missing out on the LED/bling and the clean look is nice so far based on the partial pics.
but are you considering:
1, making a full layout board?
2, or a separate numpad? (assuming that the pic quoted is from one)
3, or a 55g version?
It is a collaboration between CM and Topre.Broadmonkey wrote:Okay, I am just going to throw this out.
Is those new stems developed by CM or are they in fact made by Topre themselves?
I ask because Topre has stopped making key caps themselves, or at least selling them separately. It would make sense for Topre to make them compatible with Cherry keycaps as there is a larger support and more companies already have molds for it, plus it would be a great selling point if Topre is trying to enter a lower price segment (which it seems).
If you are at CES and you are interested in this project be sure to step by usmatt3o wrote:May I dare suggesting CES 2014?
(so basically 7-10 January)

Alright.. There will offcourse be a lot of media at CES so you will for sure see this pop up on different media, forums, YouTube and such..matt3o wrote:cool!
I'd love be there... I'll probably be in CA next year for a month or so, but I can't make it by January. I bet Ming will be there though
you are vicious! c'mon stop teasing usCM Bram wrote:For those interested we will as mentioned above show at CES in Las Vegas (jan 6-10). Also as update there is a sample to EU office underway and I will see what I can do to make some nice 'teaser' pictures by our photographer/designer...
release that damn thing!Neither is more "real". SP profile has more curvature. I do not like it for the bottom row, though, because it is too sharp.Broadmonkey wrote:Why would you wish for SP profile over real Cherry profile?

Let me turn the question arround: What would you like to see us use?matt3o wrote:CM Bram, pleeease break the silence about the stabs!
you should use something that fits in current topre keyboards (eg: realforce). If you are using standard costar or cherry stabs it means that we couldn't use your sliders on a topre keyboard.CM Bram wrote:Let me turn the question arround: What would you like to see us use?matt3o wrote:CM Bram, pleeease break the silence about the stabs!
the slider has to be compatible with current topre keyboard, the stem would be MX anyway I suppose.Broadmonkey wrote:But then you wouldn't be able to use replace >1.75 keycaps on the CM Topre keyboard with something like the gazillion aftermarket sets from eg. SP, and thus cripple the whole idea of using MX compatible stems on it, no?
This. I want my HHKB to wear those beautiful MX keycaps so it would be meaningless if the stab didn't compatiblematt3o wrote:you should use something that fits in current topre keyboards (eg: realforce).
