i thought about grabbing this to see if I could mod it to work as an actual cap...not sure how hard that would be though.

let me know if you want some pics, I bought one the last time the link popped up

I do think a mod is possible, would involve some metal bonding epoxy though

So the size of the "cap" is close enough to work? I was mainly worried about it being too big or small.

I bet if we were to contact someone on etsy about making those they would, most of the people on there that do custom work are pretty cool and have no problem taking requests. If i could figure out how to make a mold I would consider making some silver Esc keys.
