I'm looking for "fat"? keycaps similar to what Matias uses for Esc, Ctrl, Option, Cmd and Space keys on their ErgoPro.
What search term should I use to find similar keycaps? I've tried "tall", "fat", "oversized", "big", etc., but I only find extra wide (in the X direction) or extra tall (in the Z direction) rather than in the Y direction.
Any help welcome.

I forced myself to get used to an ortholinear 40%. But still nowadays staggered keyboards feel more familiar. Now I'm using this.

I'm not a fast typer so the feelings are more important that words per minute.

I did succeed in get used to us-int layout. So, I don't struggle searching for spanish keycaps. I can ñ-post with keycaps easier to find.

I was thinking to do a foam mod on my keyboard (a Redragon K552), and i was thinking on doing it with EVA foam since is easier for me to get and i saw that PE foam builds static, but, EVA foam will build up static too? i dont want to destroy my keyboard

Bit of a rant, but what happened for UK sellers to stop providing support for UK-ISO layouts? At best, you get a bastardised version of the UK layout wherein the usual US layout is preserved (' and " sharing a key, 3 and #, 2 and @) and then the a £ symbol being slapped onto the 3 key to share with #, which is just plain fiddly to use.

Sure, I could just replace the keycaps in question, but keycap sellers are just as bad. At best, I've found someone willing to print on UK layout legends onto keys that have already been printed in another (usually US) layout. That, or I get custom caps printed in mismatched colours, profiles, etc. to the ones I already have, which is just as annoying at best, or impossible at worst.

It's a first world problem, sure, but the UK ISO layout seems to be utterly dominant in the laptop space that it frustrates me that keyboards aren't shown the same kind of basic attention. I don't even care about the damn £! I just want my other keys to not be hidden behind weird key combos!!
