Just bought my first mechanical keyboard (Keychron K10 HE) is it still considered mechanical if it uses magnetic switches? Anyway, I like the keyboard, just don't know if I like the keycaps. I'm coming from over 15 years of using a board with flat chicklet style keys, and these are tall and sculpted in a way I'm slipping on. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on some keycaps I can switch to that have a wider/flatter/squarer surface, but maybe also have translucent characters for the backlight and retain the symbols for mac functionality like volume up/down play/pause stuff like that? Since I’m KVM switching between Mac and PCs. I know that's all asking a lot but I figured I would ask. Overall I really like the look of this thing the black and the rosewood sides, even though the presses are longer and takes some getting used to, it's nice, build quality/weight feels great. I started with the 75% K2 HE board but switched to full size K10 HE because I kept hitting the home and page buttons when typing and the full size was cheaper. Which is crazy, but cool. I think the only real downside I see is that I can't swap the switches to something more clicky if I want to in the future. Not a big deal, but it would be nice to have all those options as well.

Hello,

That's a nice looking keyboard.

I do not have a recommendation for a specific set of replacement key caps, but I do have a recommendation for where to look for them:  https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/collections/keycaps.  I have bought several keyboards and one replacement set of key caps from them over the years and have been very happy with the purchases.

My suggestion would be to contact them and see what they recommend.
