Realforce with DSA keycap and micro USB

Got myself a Realforce keyboard recently. Now I can finally try out some ideas I had with Realforce and Topre switches.

First one was to try to get some Cherry keycaps installed. I saw some examples online of people doing similar things. I came up with something here that seems to work pretty well.

I cut the vertical cross all the way through on the Cherry stem. This allows it to fit all the way down into the Topre plunger. But the Cherry stem is smaller then the Topre plunger so it just pops out when you release the key. So I cut a small piece of heat shrink, wrapped it around the stem and shrunk it. Then cut a little bit on the sides where I cut through the stem. Gives just enough tension to hold the keycap in place.

I also went ahead and removed the USB cable and wired in a microUSB connector. Not the cleanest job but it's in the back and will be mostly covered up. Not sure on how well it will hold up either. I put it in the place where the USB wires come off the board since there's some open space there. But after I did this, I realized there's room over top of the PCB so I could have put it in the middle where I have more support. I might still do that.
