SA Profile keycaps: what to focus on
Profiles control row sculpt and comfort. Use a stable sculpt and simple legends for clearer renders.
Row sculpt matters
Profile defines how rows feel. Keep renders consistent across rows.
Legend clarity
Ask for clean typography. Avoid tiny multi-line text on small keys.
Pair with materials
Try PBT for matte texture, ABS for glossy. Compare side-by-side.
Export + publish
Publish creates a share page. Export downloads images + JSON pack.
Profile workflow
Pick a sculpt, pair a material, generate variations, then publish.
Choose a profile
Start with Cherry/OEM/SA. Profiles define row sculpt and feel.
Pair material + legends
Match PBT/ABS with a clean legend style for readability.
Generate variations
Iterate 3–5 variations with consistent lighting.
Publish + export
Publish creates a public page. Export downloads the concept pack.
Profile checklist
Quick checks before you publish a profile-focused set.
Profile comparison
A quick reference to compare common keycap profiles.
| Profile | Height | Row shape | Feel | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cherry | Medium | Sculpted | Balanced | Most builds | Most common “reference” profile for modern sets. |
| OEM | Medium | Sculpted | Slightly taller | Prebuilt keyboards | Common on stock keyboards; easy to find. |
| SA | Tall | Sculpted | Deep, “thocky” | Showcase builds | Tall + sculpt can look great, but may feel heavy for some. |
| DSA | Low | Uniform | Flat, consistent | Ortholinear / custom layouts | Uniform rows make mixing layouts easier. |
| XDA | Medium-low | Uniform | Wide top surface | Themed designs | Uniform rows + wider top can help with graphics / patterns. |
| MT3 | Tall | Deep sculpt | Scooped | Ergo feel | Deep dish look; ensure legends stay crisp in renders. |
