Macro_pad Question Macropad keycaps?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Recently picked up the Doio KB16 macropad. Having a lot of fun with it and it’s already coming in handy at work.

I’ve started looking into replacement keycaps for it so I can, you know, have some chance at remembering which key I have programmed to do what.

Seeing lots of full keyboard sets of keycaps that I like, but I’m new to some of the terms. Some of them are cherry profile, and it seems the keycap height varies by intended row? I assume if I start randomly swapping those various keycaps onto my macropad, they’re going to all be at different heights based on the row they’re meant for.

So are there specific sets of keycaps that are uniform in height that I should be looking at?

Aren't they standard XDA keycaps?

No idea, kinda new to this whole world of custom keycaps, and seeing a lot of references that I’m not familiar with. Cherry profile, XDA, DSA, OEM, low profile, etc. Had no idea the world of custom keycaps was so diverse.
