Hey, first of all, thank you for the great work!

I am a bit confused though: Those keycaps seem to be OEM profile and not Cherry profile. I mean, they fit on Cherry MX switches, but I was expecting something different - Maybe this could be stated in the README to avoid confusion (or it could just be me).

Also you cite wasdkeyboards.com as source for the measurements, but they only have measurements for width and height, not the angle from top to bottom and also not the radius of the top groove - I was wondering if you have another source/technical drawing for those measurements that you could share or if you took those measurements yourself.

You could be right, when I put this together I was new to the whole keycap world - TBH I'm not currently aware of the difference, so I can just take your word for it 😄

For those other measurements, I took them myself where possible and/or guessed on the remaining ones.

OEM is a bit higher than Cherry, I like this site for comparing profiles: https://www.keycaps.info - you can see it more clearly in "stack" mode.

I see. It's really a pity that there are no proper technical drawings for the keycaps, but I guess it's all an attempt in preventing cloning? Who knows.
