Hi guys, I have a question on keycaps. icon_question.gif

Does all keycap (e.g. IMSTO PBT doubleshot keycap) suitable for either iron-stabilizer and cherry stabilizer? hmm.gif

This is for the main big keys such as ENTER, SPACEBAR, SHIFT. sweat.gif

that's called costar stabilizer

and yes, it fits fine for both costar and cherry stabilizer ONLY if your keyboard is standard layout size aka 1.25 modifier and 6.25 spacebar

Where do I get this value of 1.25 and 6.25 from the keyboard?
My current spacebar width is approximately 11cm. (doesn't seem to fit either cm/inch in the ratio above).
Could you enlighten me smile.gif

Mine is the Rosewill RK9000BR (Cherry Brown).
I would like to have Doubleshot PBT keycaps on them.
But not sure which keycap model/brand can fit this mechanical keyboard since this 1 is using the costar stabilizer (which feels much better than cherry stabilizer like the ones from Ducky)

Does anyone know where can get low profile PBT keycaps that can fit for a regular MechaKeyboard like rosewill?

I measured my keycap which is around 1.18cm. (11.8mm)
Is there any keycap which is lowered like laptop keycaps?
Would this affect the tactile experience?

PLUM's (and most of noppoo, such as the choc mini and so on) PBT or POM are using it's own mold and profile. Thick and short, a little like that of Leopold PBT i suppose.

R4's height comparison, left to right (Razer, Keycool ABS, KBC POM, KBC DS PBT, PLUM PBT)

Onboard height comparison, (left is plum, right is KBC)

The shortest key of PLUM is R2, both R2(let is Keycool ABS, right is plum)

what is the height of the plum pbt in mm (milimeter) ?
Is it much more comfortable to use a short height pbt cap vs the higher one (e.g. KBC DS PBT) ?
