I've ordered the SA because I need a very "high" profile, but I didn't see an OEM profile and I didn't see a picture showing the difference, I think it's very important to show the difference. Any idea where we could have a picture of both?

I think part of the issue is wanting to see what Mt. Fuji will look like inside the OEM profile key. Just knowing the outer dimensions doesn't give us a good idea how the mountain scales with the profile.
Also, I'm not convinced picture 4 is the OEM profile. If it were, why isn't someone from Massdrop pointing that out given how many comments have requested such a picture?

This is *gorgeous* but am I crazy or does it look more like Mt. Rainier?

So this time I tried to replicate some of the product pictures on the drop page.
The angles are not perfect and obviously I don't have access to the same keyboard and caps, but I think it's close enough for what I'm trying to show.
Camera setup is the same as last time (see my older comment down a bit), but this time I used an LED ring light and also an X-Rite ColorChecker Passport, which means the colors are 99% accurate and pretty much as close to perfection as possible.
Sure, their lighting is a bit different as well, since it seems they used some sort of photo box which I don't have, but still... it doesn't explain where all the shades of blue, all the amazing color gradients and all the details are coming from that are almost completely missing from my keycap.
It's like their keycap is a full-fledged winter wonderland out of a Hollywood production with all the state-of-the-art special effects, and my keycap is a B-movie production made by students that had no access to special effects and have had to cut down costs on lighting as well.

MeloditudeThank you for illustrating this on photo, I take the same view and would like a refund based on the very dissapointing result compared to other "artisan" key-caps been offered here on MD (refer to https://www.massdrop.com/buy/hammer-lagoon-artisan-spacebar). MD should not tolerate the poor results as this seriously undermines the enthusiast.
It is okay to show the actual product and sell a keycap at this quality, but not when the actual product is nothing like the illustrated.

MunnybearYeah, I've contacted customer support to get a full refund.
I actually don't quite understand how some people even call them "perfect". Not a single cap that was posted here was even close to the one from the product pictures. You can also see that the edges are much sharper, less rounded and polished than the one cap on the drop page, so clearly that one single keycap has received lots of love and care and attention to detail. All the others seem rushed.
I also bought all the different 4 Seasons Artisan keycaps from BKD as well. I'm scared these will turn out to be just as underwhelming as Mt. Fuji is. I hope I'm wrong...

I am pretty shocked to see some of these comments. I think those of you that are dissapointed need to re-examine your expectations for something like this.
The process they used to make these makes it impossible for them all to "look like the picture". If you aren't into unique pieces like this, I would recommend not purchasing any artisans that use resin. We were also made very aware the wood would be darkly stained, and staining is not always precise either.
It was clear throughout the whole drop, that this was not a large operation. It was also clear that BKD was going to use resin and that not each cap would be "identical". BKD made this clear to those of us who stayed up to date here.
I will gladly back another BKD product. Can't wait for the next one and LOVE my fuji !
GROW UP. BE HAPPY YOU HAVE SOME COOL UNIQUE ART.
