From what I remember, those caps are thin and pad printed.  I posted one of these a while back, but the price was high.  If you want some nice Dolchish Alps caps, I recommend some of the old Toshiba laptops, preferably of the broken variety.

And three Windows caps?

I require at least 4 windows keys to consider a board.  With that being said, the keyboard does look pretty cool.  IDK if this is the same keyboard or not, but this one, or a similar one has been floating around before.

I wonder if you could shift the spacebar to the right and move the windows keys over there.  If you could, I would be all over this board.
