Where can I get Cherry Mx keycaps that feel like the realforce 87U PBT keycaps ?

Leopold PBT caps are pretty nice. You can find them on Ebay

Those are nice caps, can't say they are the same as topre pbt but they are nice and cheap for cherry mx pbt.

True. The best PBT set you could probably get would be an IMSTO set or what Ivan is doing right now for his GB

Personally I like the leopold PBT much better than those caps.

In surface texture and in angle of the bottom row, I would say Signature Plastics' DCS profile.
It is a bit lower, and I have not actually seen it made in PBT but if they were, they would be thin.
The Leopold keys are great, btw. They are thick PBT and the profile matches Cherry's perfectly. The surface texture is not as grainy as DCS or Topre's but more "crisp" than Cherry's.
There might be a problem mounting thick keys on keyboards with Costar stabilisers.

I'd totally go for Ivan's GB. I'm hoping I can get the funds together to participate in it before the deadline.
If you want Leo keycaps, I personally would advise you to get that Varmilo on Massdrop right now and have an inexpensive but really nice board + the keycaps you want. :P
