Recommendation needed for better locator (F & J) keys for Cherry MX OEM Profile keyboard
I keep losing the location of keys on new DAS 4 Pro Keyboard. i.e. My hands can't tell if they have shifted left or right a key. The keyboard has Cherry MX Brown OEM profile 104 keys. I'm looking for new keycaps to help my fingers better locate the F & J keys. I've been a touch typist for decades (going back to the IBM Selectric) but have been using MS Ergonomic 4000 keyboards (no longer available) since the 90s. The stretched G & H keys on that keyboard likely contribute to my having some difficulty getting used to a standard layout. I'm looking for either a more pronounced "bump" on the locator keys or I've heard about keys that are more spherical and the F & J keys are a deeper depression (MT3?). I've found that a touch typist position with more vertical fingers completely missing the bump on my DAS keyboard F & J keys. How do the different profiles change the keyboard. i.e. Can I use a few MT3 keys with my OEM keys? I have all black keys now, and am not looking to go...

As many others here have mentioned, two plum colors are way more saturated than they were originally marketed as. The keyboard market is flooded with very saturated, high contrast sets, so something with a little bit of desaturation was great to see--unfortunately it didn't turn out that way. And that's not to sell the keyset short, or the amount of work that Jessica and others put into making this happen, I'm just here to tell people who are considering buying this aftermarket that it will be different than what you were expecting.
I've attached a reference photo here to directly compare a (IMO well color-balanced) photo of the set to a render.
Thanks!
Thanks for putting those 2 images side by side. I'm going to use it whenever I get around to selling this thing. I want to make it clear to the future buyer what they're going to get.
