The stuff that makes conductive domes conductive is usually carbon doping in the rubber. Which is the same thing you use to make capacitive plastic like Model-F flippers.

So as long as you can control the sensitivity of the topre pads (you might need a new controller) plain old conductive domes should work just fine with no mods or springs as long as they fit mechanically.

NMB domes are glued to the top membrane, so they do come in a sheet (sort of). But they're pressure-sensitive and smaller than the Topre domes, so they won't make contact with the capacitive sensor and the spring won't fit in.

I thought about swapping domes on my Masterkeys Lite L (conductive dome with slider) with a membrane from another keyboard. It could work.

EDIT: Well, it can't. I didn't realize I'd need to swap out the contoller as well, also the key spacing is different on every keyboad. How naive I was.
