Where can I get a some kind of baseplate for custom keycaps? (lemmy.world)

Hi there, I am using Keychron K1 SE and wanted to switch out the orange escape-key and the lights-key with wooden keycaps. After making some small wood clips, I tried to use some sawed Lego-Parts to put them on the Cherry switches. They fit surprisingly well, but are not held in firmly enough....

This is how the keycap on the keyboard looks on the keyboard

Ok but there is not something like this out of the box that I can buy?

But what do I search for?

Wow thanks for the detailed response My keycaps are like this. I personally never heard of Glorious Panda switches as I am also very new to keyboard building. And I found out that they are actually Keychrons own switches and confused them with Cherry. So far, I found no measurements of them.

I thought there would be some cheap plastic baseplates for people to build their own keycaps, but surprisingly this isn’t a thing. And purchasing a whole set for this is straight up waste.

Thank you a ton for your advice. I’ll look into it. If you ever need something that has to do something with Webdesign or Music theory, please hot me up!
