Vintage keycap weight & thickness comparison [WIP]
This is a list of some keycaps (of keyboards and computers/terminals) I own with weight and thickness.
As a standard, I used the "K" keycap of each keyboard for the measurement.
| Model | Weight [g] | Thickness [mm] |
|---|---|---|
| Honeywell Bull | 2.28 | |
| Datacoop (doubleshot) | 2.19 | |
| IBM 5155 / Model F | 2.17 | |
| Datacoop (single-plastic) | 2.14 | |
| Kaypro 10 | 1.51 | |
| Tatung terminal | 1.85 | |
| DEC LK-201 | 1.66 | |
| Reuters | 1.48 | |
| Epson HX-40 | 1.40 | |
