Yeah, though that I should make a topic about my find.
Still want to know what kind of plastic the keys uses, so would be awesome if someone could tell me.

Caps on my topre.

And yes, that's birdshit on the keyboard, found it outside at work.

And the caps are not yellow like it looks in the last pictures, it's just my lamp that makes a really yellowish light, took the pictures without the flash.

Did anyone ask why you were picking up a throwaway keyboard covered in bird poo?

I hope that you had cleaned the caps before you put them on.

I sure did, and it took a while, the keyboard was NOT clean in any way.

Did a test with the caps to see if they are PBT or ABS, they are ABS.. Too bad, but I still love em, the topre gets more snappy with these caps, I guess that's because they are taller then the topre caps and bottom out in another way.
