Fellow redditor ze_or created and shared a sculpted and tented keycap set for a Vixen.

Always had the idea but never seen anyone do it. So I took it to my own hands – ze_or.

According to the author, wobble of the taller keys is not a problem. In comparison, SA is a bit over 16.5 mm at the tallest point, and the tallest keycap here is a bit over 20 mm at its peak.

Specs

• sculpted on both axis

Resources
