Popular Keycap Profiles and Sound Tests: Cherry, XDA, OEM, SA, OSA

New subscriber here.

Cool, thanks. I love the dimensions of the Magic Keyboard's keycaps (length and width only), which profile has the flattest and widest upper surface among the 5? Are there other profiles that are not low-profile keycaps that have flat upper surfaces and is as wide as the Magic Keyboard's keycaps?

Thank you.

can xda help the mkb more thockier? or is there a better option

Is the switch brown?

nice video. terrible space bar.

I'm super new to all of this so maybe I'm misunderstanding information but honestly, the (lack of) height differences surprise me. Cherry is low profile (?) but it looks the same in height as all of other ones except SA.

I just bought Glorious Aura V2 keycaps which say they are OEM, and they are much lower in height compared to my OSA keycaps. Which is totally in contrast to what is said and shown here (the OEM almost looks a smidge taller, or at least the same height) as well as on other videos, which have said OSA and OEM are both medium height... Is height unrelated to profile? I.e.: you can have OEM profile but low height?

How do you like that royal kludge 75%?

which one is good for gaming brother?>

Great job! Might want to fix the chapters for the sound tests. The last chapter is the SA Profile that apparently lasts until the end of the video. Not to mention the sculpting makes it that every key feels like a little cushion that is just waiting to receive your finger when it presses it. That little groove for the finger in the middle is so fun to type on.

There is something rather special about the sound profile of SA keycaps. I find that Keychron's KSA (their own take of the SA profile) enhances that signature sound even more. I think that it'll be hard to get me to stop using KSA keycaps. If you already love SA check them out!

You gave a good explanation of each of the different profiles types.
The problem with your sound test is that the switches affect the sound more than the keyscap/profiles. To do a fair test, you would need to use identical switches across all keycap profiles.

such a great video, when I zoomed out I was surprised on the amount of views.

You explained it very well without biases. Thanks dude!!
