Would there be any issues in transferring those HiPro caps onto an FC660C?

DogeAmazeYes there would be some compatibility issues with the bottom row because the FC660C's modifiers are 1.25x while the Realforce has different ones from 1.75x to 1x, not 1.25x

DogeAmazeHiPro switches have a much taller housing to match the taller keycaps. I'm not sure how stable the caps would be on a standard profile switch.

rib3But the HiPro housings can be transplanted, right?

DogeAmazeI just want to make sure people know it's not as easy as swapping MX OEM profile to SA.
@livingspeedbump has a writeup on moving them to a realforce 87U, some of the keys needed to be rotate due to the way the keyboard deals with under key LED placement, not sure if the FC660C has the same design.
Also looks like he left the housings alone, not sure what effect the short standard housing has on Hi-Pro cap stability. Maybe it's ok because the plunger is still the same height (or at least similar).
