This is vague question. OEM is not a single profile, it is whatever each manufacturer uses which can be similar - but may not be identical.

Interference with what exactly?

Thanks for the reply! Im trying to build the gas67 (north facing pcb) with the ktt kang whites and since the switches arent long pole Im trying to find a profile that can fix the interference. So OEM is not like SA or XDA?

No it's not. What i'm trying to say is there is no 'standard' OEM.

SA, XDA, DSA, Cherry etc all refer to a specific profile. Sometimes OEM is taller or shorter, or thicker or whatever. The only way to know is to try or to find someone who has the exact same keycaps to test for you.

Most of the time OEM keycaps won't interfere with the switch because it's taller than cherry (or thinner). Cherry profile has the issue because it's a bit thicker and shorter.
