Keycap Profile
Customers have mixed opinions on the Akko Wave 226-Key ASA Profile PBT Double-Shot Full Keycap Set for Mechanical Keyboards. Some appreciate the keycap profile, which is similar to OEM but with a spherical shape, and enjoy the included collection box. However, others find that while they like the profile, they prefer cheaper alternatives. The keycaps are made of PBT material, but some customers have received incorrect colors.

They look and feel great but the anti wear properties of the pbt did not live up to my previous experiences with pbt key caps and the space bar has a shine in an area where my thumb has worn it smooth

These may be what you want thoughtechnically theyre spherical caps but most of the tops are almost flat

Other more sculped profiles such as drops mt3 or hyekits sa have too much of a sculpted angle and take a lot of getting used to if you like oem or cherry
