Relatively new Topre fan and new believer of the the rubber of cup. Just found this IC and wanted to offer my 2c and support for this endeavor:
Like everyone else, am waiting on the DES 2U & spacebar stabs so I can mount some SP SA sets, MT3, GMK, etc, but my interest in sets of proper Topre caps isn't really diminished by MX sliders. I was just wondering how others felt regarding converting their Topre boards to MX compatible keycap mounts. Personally, I've already got one board's worth of 1U sliders and will get the 2U/stabs when they land, but I'm pretty well certain the expense and effort involved, plus whatever unintended consequences arise from the conversion, that I'm only going to convert one, maybe two of my Topre kb.
That said, the recent KBDfans Lie-pro release was a great step in the right direction, and I'd still be just as interested in throwing money at this project here if it moves forward--regardless of whatever progress may occur with MX slider development.

We need hipro profile topre caps to be remade. Cherry like profile options even though limited, are there. Kbdfans were working on new hipro keycaps but that project looks to be far off still
There’s options for Cherry profile Topre caps, but almost exclusively only for the HHKB. There are next to no options it feels like for all of the other Topre boards.
