Didn't think about that but now that you've mentioned it. It does look rather soft!

also it looks waay more quality then the one on the left (aka every cap from today lol)

100% agree. The only thing I can fault the quality on is the the wonky bottoms which seem to droop in places (see 3rd image). But besides that the quality of the legends and plastic is significantly better. I really want to mod them to fit Cherry stems but dont know if its possible :(

You can probably sand/file down the stem diameter, so that they fit cherry top housings. Seems possible.

That's an excellent idea! I might have to try this. Do you think it will affect the structural integrity of the stem much?

Should be fine as long as you do not take too much off. Standard stems are quite durable, so i think a sanded down vintage one would be equally strong. Better try it with a single keycap you can afford to loose though. Keep us updated. The vintage caps look dope!

Ok, I'll definitely have to try this out then. Thanks dude!
