Keycaps (mander.xyz)

Hey folks. I was wanting to get a new set of keycaps for my work computer's keyboard, but I'm having a little trouble finding a set that seems like a good fit. I'm fishing for suggestions here.

I'm looking for a set with XDA profile and a darker color scheme (the base is black). Most XDA profile caps I've seen on AliExpress seem to be on the lighter side, and most darker caps aren't XDA profile.

And ideas?

I don't have an offering for the XDA profile that you're looking for, but a potential alternative. Consider the KAM profile as well.

I used the XDA canvas set on a number of boards for about 5 years and recently switched to the KAM Superuser set on my Dactyl Manuform . The dishes on the top of the keys are very slightly smaller but the height and general profile are very, very similar.

Thekeeblog has a nifty comparison chart that puts XDA and KAM side by side.
