the Triumph-Adler (co-branded Royal in the US) Satellite III typewriter has keycaps with a mount that is very close to the Cherry MX keycap mount. it's definitely not a modern MX-style switch on the keybed, but there's a very clear Cherry logo. and the stems fit just fine on my switches (smoky box reds), and now they live on my Planck. (plus a couple Rama GRID caps for the spaces)

the keycaps are gorgeous. doubleshot legends, uniformly profiled with spherical indents, and they feel amazing. the modifier keys have a slant to them that reminds me of Mechvault's uniform row-3 DSS keys, and they're distinct enough that i don't really feel the lack of homing keys.

i don't think anyone is currently selling keycaps like these, but there are plans in the works. Synth Labs' SLK Dessau, and Deadline Studio's Doys have a similar raised dish aesthetic, and it seems Hibi might have colorful blanks in this style. but none of them look like they'll feel as smooth as these do. the smoothness has a lot to do with the well-used typewriter that these came from.

edit!! i shall also mention that the outer casing is a 3D print in beige PLA that i did of a "five degree" case (as in tilt, but it's also a style you can get from kbdfans dot com) that had been reconfigured for a Planck, available on thingiverse.
