So, OEM profile contains a wide range of different heights and sets and is by no means standardized. These keycaps are closest in size to OEM profile, which is the same profile found on Cooler Master, Corsair, WASD, and Filco keyboards but keycaps from Varmilo are a smidge shorter because they use their own molds. Here is an image comparison (Grey Top Printed Dye Sub Varmilo R4 keycap vs Code Keyboard R4 keycap)

These are definitely nowhere near Cherry Profile however, which is a dramatically shorter keycap than OEM.

AndrewLekashmanI'm currently trying to find the shortest profile keyset for my keyboard, which currently have custom printed keycaps from WASD, the same as the code keyboard ones shown here.
As seen in the previous Varmilo VA87M drop, these keycaps, assuming that the're the same, are quite low profile. Could you maybe rank these, the previously dropped Vortex PBT Keyset, the Leopold PBT Keyset suggested by another massdrop member in the VA87M discussion thread, and Cherry Profile keysets in terms of their profile height?
Thanks!

AndrewLekashmanAlright. Thanks for the information! I guess I'll wait for the Vortex ones to drop again.

AndrewLekashmanWhere would Cherry profile be in the height sequence you provided?
In any event, I am going to wait for the "OEM" profile (same height as WASD and Filco). I am putting PBT keycaps on a Novatouch, and I've found that OEM profile works best for this keyboard. Cherry and Leopold profile did not work well on the Novatouch with respect to bottoming-out noise.
