Hi

Can I fit these keycaps on non-cherry switches such as Kaihl or any other ones I dont know about?

Should be able too, as long as they use a Cherry MX stem you will be fine.

Kailh, Gateron and many other people make what are called "mx compatible" switches. That means that you can use them with anything that's designed to use a cherry switch. Other than topre, I can only think of three or so mechanical board concepts that are commonly available and don't support mx switch stuff. Those being buckling spring boards, as well as the Logitech and steelseries custom switches that came out in the last year or so.

Hey! New SIgnature! 

 

I'm supposedly a person on the Internet, but you'll never know if I'm human or not ;)
