If you got a white version (maybe the black ones are now too, seems some conflicting reports on that) it already has better quality PBTs than you are going to get from most anywhere else. Only vintage Cherry, BSP, and imsto/KBC approach the nice quality Cherry profile keys it comes with.
No profile and quality are not necessarily mutually exclusive... but damn close. The Choc mini is OEM'd by PLUM who uses Cherry thick keycaps that are good quality. Which is why I was saying the stock keycaps are nicer than the options they were looking at.I understand people like to have a certain aesthetic, but if you are going to drop 75% quality for looks I think that is a terrible move.Essentially it would be like taking a vintage Cherry board and tossing away the doubleshots to slap some cheesy WASD keycaps on it.
If you swap keycaps for anything but Cherry, you're gonna have a bad time, because of inconsistent profiles. Been there, done that. If I were you, I'd just hunt down some Cherry dyesub alphas.
