Hey

I am building my first custom ALPS keyboard an got an old M0116 lying around.
Can I use those Keycaps for the KPRepublic XD60 PCB with Plate or will I have to buy an AEK?

this kind of plate would work very poorly, as the clips on alps switches are on west-east rather than north-south. This is like someone who just copies the cuts of an universal plate for mx, alter the measurement with alps switches, then make a plate without thinking how practical it is.

Yeah plus the bottom row of xd64 does not match with m0116. You have four keys on the m0116 on the left of the spacebar whereas xd64 can only have three on the left of the space.
