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...

I'll agree on the lack of programmability, but as someone's said before, everything is programmable if you try hard enough ;) The full metal TKL case in itself almost makes this keyboard worth the price, as just an aluminum TKL case will usually run you about $150.
Again though, everyone has preferences, and you're certainly entitled to yours!
Aluminium cases are $200+ alone... You're not going to find one this thick for less than $200.
