For my first ergo split keyboard im waiting for the release of the keeb.io Iris rev 8. I am planing to experiment with layouts and will be moving my key caps around a lot. Therefore should I be looking for flat profile caps like XDA, DSA and KAM or are there any big downsides to them?
Currently I am using a Keychron K3, could I use the low profile keycaps on the Iris?
Keycap profile choice is basically preference, so unfortunately, you kind of have to try a few to know what you prefer. Many love DSA, but I can barely type on it. I do better with uniform SA R3 (SA, but flat) but I prefer sculpted sets generally.
In theory, people with smaller fingers would benefit from keycaps with a strong sculpt because they wouldn’t have to reach as far between rows. In practice, I don’t that generalization actually works out.
