^This.  Though the determining factor on pain has a lot to do with what caps and if they break.  I stepped on a cap that already had a broken stem, it was thin ABS from an old WYSE board.  It broke into tons of pieces.  Stepping on legos is about 3 orders of magnitude worse.  I think the worst case scenario for stepping on a cap would be a home row cap from OG Cherry PBT due to the sharp corners.  This could be made much worse on carpet that would allow a corner to point straight up.

Neither should be allowed to rest on the floor.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
