May I ask a newbie question here..?
I am currently using Realforce 87UD55 - 10th (R1) and want to buy keycap sets to replace the current ones. I saw many group buys at this forum (mainly GMK etc). Are those compatible? Or where can I buy suitable ones? Thank you all.

GMK and most popular brands are all what you would call "MX" compatible keycaps. They absolutely will not fit Topre stems.
There are a FEW topre keyset makers, which you can find on kbdfans.com. Another avenue is a brand called Domikey, which has a limited selection of keycaps (not sure if they cover anything outside of HHKB tbh).
The last option is to actually get some MX-compatible sliders and REPLACE yours, which will actually allow GMK and any other MX compatible keycap set to fit onto your realforce :)
(For reference, the Realforce R2 RGB has MX-compatible sliders)

Thank you so much for your answers, clear and precise! And for those HHKB keycaps are they compatible to Topre?
