Need help finding keycaps for my Keycrhon K5 (self.mechanicalkeyboards)

Hello friends. I am new to the mechanical keyboard world. I purchased my first, a Keychron K5 Pro. I love it. Feels great, works great, sounds great. I would like to replace a handful of the keycaps however, trying to just customize a bit.

So my issue: I can't figure out what to buy. The K5 came with "Low-profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps". They measure about 4mm in height (just the keycaps). I'm looking for a handful of 1U caps, either in some fun colors or with random art printed on them. I am not opposed to getting a full set of keys if they are priced right.

From what I am reading in random places, XDA or DSA profile caps are CLOSE to what I have in size and shape. Can anyone guide me here? Maybe suggest a specific seller or a better search term than "Low Profile PBT Keycaps"? I seem to be finding a lot in other profiles (I get it, I purchased a kind of specific keyboard type), but not a ton of caps that seem to be correct for me.

Please help! Thanks in advance homies.

Would this help? Or at least get you in the right direction?

It does, but I’ve seen these and they are nice but not what I’m looking for. Thanks either way!
