Ok super dumb question but how the heck do the keycaps fit on this keyboard?
The bottom side of the keys have a + while the switches have a slot. Did they send me the wrong keycaps for the switches or? Also, it looks like my spacebar doesn't fit either.
FYI my order was: Layout: Standard
  • Type: Kit - Matias Quiet Pro (Tactile) (+$1.99)
  • Case: Low Profile CNC Aluminum Case Black (+$59.99)
  • Keycaps: GMK 3Run Base Kit (Cherry MX) - Alphabet Layout (+$59.99)
  • GMK 3Run Hacker / Standard Adapter Kit: No
  • GMK 3Run Extras Kit: No

smile_n_bounceYou ordered Matias/Alps switches. The GMK set is Cherry MX and won't fit those switches.

cogliostro*sigh* one would think they wouldn't sell me keycaps as part of this drop that wouldn't fit my keyboard. Or at least sell a set that would.
Any idea where here I can find a set that will fit?

smile_n_bounceSpecifically, something thst has an interesting design.
The blank Matias on this drop aren't that exciting to me.

smile_n_bounceCustom alps don't come up much. But Matias has some keys, not sure if they'll fit though... https://matias.store/collections/keycaps-and-switches-1
Unless you're with Matias as a Matias fan, I'd consider switching them out for Cherry Clear's, as they're about the same weight. Zealios are the other option, which also use Cherry stems, and you can select a weight, but they carry a premium.
I specifically went with Zealios, as I wanted a heavy, tactile and silent switch. But cherry does have cherry-brown, which are tactile and slient, but light weight, clears are a bit hard to source if I remember correctly.

NeonBlue@NeonBlue oh neat! Those Zealios switches look pretty cool! Think I will see if I can swap those out. Otherwise, I will pick up a set of those or cherry browns.
Thanks for the assist!
