after years of lurking, i finally managed to build my first split keyboard.
Ergo gang 🤝 nice xda keycaps, build looks clean
when i orderd them, i thought they where sda ceycaps. the listing on aliexpress was a bit missleading. they are actually “xdal” ceycaps. but yeah, won’t complain for ~30€.
If you really meant SDA and not DSA, then you may have lucked out. SDA is sculpted, and such profiles can be notoriously tricky to fit to ergo/ortho/weird boards.
XDAL looks to be just the top 75% or so of XDA, so more similar in height to DSA but with the top surface of XDA. Frankly, while I find XDA’s keytops a teensy bit large, I find DSA to go a bit too far in the other direction, and if forced to pick one or the other, I’d go XDA. XDA molds spread so quickly among clone makers that it became an unfashionable choice, but they’re wonderfully versatile and easy to source.
Your keycaps in particular work well with the profile and your build. I like them.
