My Kingdom for Smooth ABS SA Keycaps
Every time I build a new keyboard, I go hunting for keycaps. And every time I go hunting, it eventually devolves into a desperate search for SA (or equivalent) profile keycaps with a smooth finish. SA is the ultimate profile, IMHO, and they're relatively hard to come by. Signature Plastics, which is where a lot of SA sets come from like the T0mb3ry SA Carbon set (they might actually hold the trademark on the SA profile if I'm not mistaken), is reportedly going through some management/ownership struggles (last I heard, they're looking for new ownership), and along with apparently the rest of the industry, they seem to be neglecting this superior keycap profile in their own stocks. If you order direct from them, they have a couple themed sets in stock (maybe), but generally you can have any color you want, as long as it's black or white. Drop carries a fair number of MT3 profile sets, which are very similar to SA. But just like SP's SA-P profile, they're made with a different...

"Varmilo Officially Releases Contactless Electrostatic Capacitive Mechanical Switch Electrostatic capacitance machinery is the combination of electrostatic capacitance trigger principle and traditional mechanical switch structure. Different from the physical triggering of the conduction of the traditional mechanical switch contact, the electrostatic capacitance is triggered by calculation of the capacitance change in the switch body when the actuator is pressed, and the non-contact conduction is realized. Although it is a electrostatic capacitance trigger mode, Varmilo refers to the traditional mechanical switch structurally, and improves its structure, so that while retaining the pure mechanical keyboard feel, there is no key spring sound, and the pre-travel can be more smooth.
