Has anyone tried replacing these caps with normal ones? That white/gold is super neat but I'm not keen on the typewriter caps

BlueCrownedThe layout looks pretty standard to me, I don't see why you couldn't.

Spectre27wondering if the switches are closer together because of the weird caps

BlueCrownedI would say they are most likely not, but cant be too careful i guess.

BlueCrownedNo, this is what Azio replied when I ask the same question: yes you can use standard sized keycaps, but, with LONGER STEMS.
There's NOTHING standard about that.

GecktWhy would you need longer stems? You mean the caps stick up off the board or something?

Spectre27Just read their comments yourself.
I will stick it here. I believed their keycaps are only replaceable with their own "Typewriter" keycaps only. And I CANNOT BELIEVE how a company in this era can still think a keyboard is a disposable product.
Simply put they don't use STANDARD keycaps and their product is NOT A STANDARD MECHANICAL KEYBOARD.
I will link it here before they decide to delete that comment and deny their senseless yet ridiculous reply to my genuine interest.

Spectre27If they exposed the switch like a normal board, you would be able to see it under the round flat keycaps?
This is a typewriter board, if you want a normal keyboard why not go buy one?
And his comment is valid, he says you can use keycaps on the SWITCHES, which is true. He says if you were to use other keycaps on this board you would need longer stems, also true. At no point in that comment does he say the keyboard supports standard MX caps...

JoshimitsuThere are plenty of keyboards that have recessed switches without having floating caps, a design like that should work fine here I think.

JoshimitsuI see what you mean but, like BlueCrowned said, they could have made it a bit more compatible with other caps. Some people like the chassis more than the caps.
The key-caps is the main gimmick of this board, and getting a full board solely for its keycaps probably isn't a very smart move considering that you might hate them.
Usually caps are the most customizable aspect of mech boards, but with this board you would be stuck with the same old ones no matter what. It's just not a very nice design in general.
