They would be for a Leopold in my case.  I don't know what they mean by "standard."  The stems seem a bit short to me.  I wouldn't mind going lower profile if they'll work.

They look short in height just from eyeballin it, but i bet ripster knows or the wiki

Thanks, whiskerBox.  The Wiki can be a bear to navigate, but I'll dig there some more, time permitting.  I guess I need to find what the exact specs are for Cherry MX caps.  Maybe I'll PM Ripster if he doesn't happen to reply to this, though this here newb frankly feels a bit intimidated to venture there.

I guess the easiest way would be to measure the dimensions of your current key caps and compare with dimensions of these ones. I'm way too lazy to try and do all that. There is a lot of different profile keycaps as well but the wiki has alot of really cool pics and good info on this kind of stuff. I don't think ripster accepts PMs but if he doesn't drop in here you can catch him in his sub-forum. Frankly he is kinda like beetle juice so if you say his name enough times he will appear

well if you're worried about it working for cherry ml's instead, nope, ml's look way different than your standard mx stem... more like 2 opposing tabs.

I know the buckling rubber is blocking a little bit but doesn't the cross mount size look about right?
