HHKB Compatible Keycaps
I’ve ordered this set: OEM Cherry Profile HHKB Layout Keycap | Top Printed Blank PBT Keyset | For MX Mechanical Keyboard DIY (OEM Dolch Top colorway) for $20, as a cheap way around the black-on-dark-grey Drop keycaps. I’m not smart, though; I had a moment of panic at seeing that the bottom row didn’t match, before realizing, duh, the caps are just photographed out of order and they’d mount just fine:

Other AliExpress kits I’ve found include this: HHKB Keycaps Cherry Profile PBT Material Fit Cherry MX Switches for MX Mechanical Keyboards Not for Static capacitance keyboards (7u Dye-sub Cherry)
I also have this kit coming, probably for my D60Lite board: YMDK MA Co2 Engraved Thick PBT Keycaps for HHKB Style Mechanical Keyboard Simiar to XDA Keycap Black (Black Co2 Etched) (probably the same as this?). Not sure about the profile. I’m really digging the high profile MT3 I built the silver Tokyo60 with. I really want to find the SA Green Screen kit for the Coyote, but apparently that’s a rare bird (and the knockoff is hot garbage). I did setup a scraper to watch r/mechmarket. So maybe the Drop + Matt3o MT3 3277 kit in the interim? (But $90 is a bit on the spendy side for a temporary keycap kit...?)
Alternately, with a more traditional profile, there’s the Drop DCX Black-on-White with Mac modifiers, or the white-on-black version (with Mac modifiers). Or the PBTfans WOB Simple, which has all the modifiers.
Pending...
Edit: These might go well with the D60Lite kit? (“Super” and “Alt” instead of Command and Option, but I can survive...) Drop + MiTo Keysterine
