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 suppose I'll eventually figure it out once I finish sifting through the rest of them. But TBH, my extreme disappointment has left me so demotivated that it'll probably take me a while before I touch that messy bag of keys again.
Quality control FTW. I thought we're getting discounts for buying in bulk? Did I get that wrong and we're really getting discounts for buying junk instead? I've only been around for 2 months and I already joined 14 drops. I think Massdrop is telling me to start staying away. Really p̶i̶s̶s̶e̶d̶ disappointed.
All the Vortex keycaps I've bought come loose in a plastic bag. Even in retail packaging, these are loose in a plastic bag, the only difference is that the plastic bag is in a cylinder container.
I wish Massdrop will have a drop on the plastic keycap tray that EliteKeyboard sells for $6 (but I haven't seen it in stock yet).
@theimmc The color changers are for something else (I did mention that I used to buy keyboards/keycaps somewhere else). I already have a pile of em, but can't stop myself from getting more. Nasty habit I need to break.
