He talks about the keycaps some here:

I'm guessing the new boards and the caps will be happening at the same time. 


Yes that's correct.

Yes that's correct.

Eagerly waiting for the new thick blank PBT keycaps and Matias' new innovation about stabilizers for Alps keycaps - hope it has good backward compatibility.

And hope you're aware of the new Alps clones manufacturers in China - I am a supporter of the original SKCM and SKCL 'pine' design, just saying.

Any updates on the keycaps? I would really love thick pbt keycaps for the custom keyboard I'm putting together right now.

The ABS keycaps on my 6 year old Mini Quiet Pro are getting awfully shiny now...  ;)

I've read in this other thread that there are PBT keycaps that passed tests!
I can't wait for PBT blanks for my keyboard! My ABS ones are really shiny too.

Yes, we were pretty sure we had all the production issues worked out on the last trip in November -- and then the pandemic happened, so now everything is in a holding pattern.
