Yeah, I also replaced the caps and would like to get some PBT spherical caps from signature plastics.

It's a bit sad that they switched from Cherry to budget Gateron switches (on a 600 Euro keyboard). The Cherry Browns and Silent Reds may have been a bit scratchy, but at least they are always close to spec and not that bad after some break-in. Either that or one of the literally tens of tactile switches that are better than Gateron Browns, e.g. why not put some Boba U4 or U4Ts in a premium keyboard? Sure, these switches are some smaller runs, but I am sure they could have worked something out, Kinesis got Cherry to invent Browns after all.



I think replacing the non homerow caps is a bit unwise. They have weird profiles that are not simply row profiles. However I really like the spherical DSA deepdishes they used to put on the homerow. So I use the ones from one of my spare classic advantages.
