Has anyone used them with Costar stabilizers? I've heard a lot about issues with thick PBT keycaps and Costar stabilizers.

warv3nI do hope it will be the same with OEM profile keycaps as it is with Cherry ones.

TomaszWI had this concern as well and I can confirm that they do fit costar stabilized switches. I have had other sets of similar thickness that did not fit. Upon closer inspection I actually found that Vortex designed these with a small lip on the inside-front of the keycap to avoid any rubbing from the stabilizer bar. It's the little things like this that make me respect a company.
I posted a pic here on geekhack showing this if you're curious.

PacwageoThe keycap you took a photo of was cherry profile, right?
Do you know if OEM profile keycaps fit Costar stabilized switches as well? I mean, they should but who knows...
I would use those keycaps with Filco MJ2, so in theory I should go for OEM profile.

TomaszWThe keycap set I got was cherry profile. I can't say for sure if the OEM set is made with the same inner lip but I can't imagine it wouldn't be. AFAIK the only differences in OEM and Cherry profile is the overall height of the keycaps.
