[Photos] Found some keycaps that fits my Topre realforce 88UB great!

Yeah, though that I should make a topic about my find.
Still want to know what kind of plastic the keys uses, so would be awesome if someone could tell me.

Caps on my topre.

The keyboard I took the caps from.

And yes, that's birdshit on the keyboard, found it outside at work.

Some other pics of the caps and my topre:

And the caps are not yellow like it looks in the last pictures, it's just my lamp that makes a really yellowish light, took the pictures without the flash.

To boldly go where no innovator has gone before : always engage at full trust.
I hope that you had cleaned the caps before you put them on.

I sure did, and it took a while, the keyboard was NOT clean in any way.

Did a test with the caps to see if they are PBT or ABS, they are ABS.. Too bad, but I still love em, the topre gets more snappy with these caps, I guess that's because they are taller then the topre caps and bottom out in another way.
