Damn, this looks so nice! I’m not in a place to order an entire second keyboard but I’ve been looking for different keycap options for my K3 Pro. The low profiles are just so hard to find. I got some third party XDA style caps off Amazon that look and feel amazing, but the fit on the K3 Pro is kind of wonky. The keys with stabilizers stick sometimes and I haven’t been able to figure out what is going on.

I found that when I tried some XDAs as well. I think where the sides of the keycaps are just a tiny bit too long they catch on the sides of the switch. That’s why the stem of low profile keycaps reach out beyond the bottom. XVX and Nuphy really seem like the only ones atm offering more variety in low profile caps. I have a set of black shine through xvx in order right now.

Thanks! I’ll have to check out XVX as well! Yeah it did seem to have to do with the length of the stems. The vast majority of the time it’s fine, just weird sticking every once in while. I also noticed that the XDA keycaps are noticeably louder, which is compounded by the fact that I have Blue switches, lol. I’m currently looking for a job, and I might have to switch to Browns if I end up with something in-office.

Edit: typo

Yeah the XDAs will also bottom out against the plate which makes them a good bit louder. I got my 96 with the Wisteria tactiles and weirdly when comparing to the brown that came as a tester I liked the brown more.
