CDSA
CDSA is a new sculpted spherical Choc keycap profile shared by Alescito: a remix of LDSA and Cherry.

Out of 150,000 readers, only 54 make this blog possible. Will you be one of them?
First and foremost, the author of this profile is not associated with LDSA or lowprokb.ca.
That said, the CDSA (sorry Darryl, "Tilted spherical choc keycap" doesn't work as a name) is Alescito's personal remix of spherical dish and Cherry tilt for Kailh choc V1.
I have created a new profile based on LDSA and Cherry. This new profile merges the dish of LDSA with the tilt of Cherry – Alescito.
The author used Darryl's STLs as inspiration but he designed the CDSA files from scratch ("The bottom part is just a horrible extruded cube"). Otherwise these caps are shorter and the dish is a little bit smaller.
