Are they the same as the JTK sliders ?

because I have heard quite a lot of bad things about the JTKs ...

The adapter-x ones are much smoother than JTKs, kbdfans make some good shit!

Oh that would be an MX to Topre adapter (other way around) and I have never seen any of those before. Topre adapters work by replacing the stems themselves. The cherry adapter would have to sit on top of the mx slider and be long enough for the topre caps to snap in to. You'll have a keyboard with more height than a beamspring by the end of it and Im not even sure if adapters would even work.

Get access to a 3d printer and start experimenting

Remove the cross mount from slider of the mx variant you want to use and epoxy the hipro caps to the sliders :lol:

JTKs are wobbly as hell, no proper fit sadly. And for that they are definitely too expensive.
Right now, there is no adequate solution for such sliders. I wen't back to genuine Topre sliders and could't be happier.

Cheers

Edit: Ohh you wan't Topre caps on MX boards? Nope, there is no such thing right now and I can't imagine it will be available anytime soon. Most people want MX caps on topre boards to brag with their artisan caps on /r/mk and gh.
