[Anne Pro on the way] New comer's questions.

Hello everyone,
I hope I'm posting this in the right channel.

My name is Sam, french from Scotland, 32. A friend of mine bought a mechanical 60% keyboard 2 weeks ago. Showed it to me ( a TADA 68 ). And I was hooked. Discovered custom keyboards ideas on pinterest, and I was sent back to the late 80s, or some feeling like that. I have spent a good 6-7hours on forums and sites since. I was looking for a first time keyboard, found the Anne Pro at a decent price on Bang Good, ordered.


Now I have a few questions. the board is fitted with Gateron blue switches. Yellow case but I'm going to repaint it white.
I am aware of the complications when it comes to fitting another case to this specific model. But my question is mostly about the Key caps, I hope I'm not going to get bashed for noobie questions.

I see everywhere most of the Keycaps are cherry MX, and I understand what it is. What I did not understood is if the gateron switches fit that standard ? Secondly, where can I find rouded square keycaps or keycaps sets, as used on the DSA Royal Navy keyset ? I might either lack the right terminology for it, or simply the understanding that they are are very hard to come by.

Finally, do you have any advices for me ? Anything I should know ?
Thanks for your help !

Gaterons are Cherry MX clones so should be compatible with that standard.
And for keycaps sets you can look at massdrop.com, here on the marketplace, Geekhack forum classifieds, reddit mechmarket...
