I'm thinking about getting a new keyboard for my modern PC.

...

I want to use squishy keycaps such as these: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/silica-gel-keycap-set It says they're Cherry MX compatible.

Oddly enough, I know something about this subject. Turns out a lot of old keyboards used now-prized keyswitches from ALPS. People buy old Apple or SGI keyboards for the feel of the keyswitches, and strip them out to make USB keyboards. For touch typists and certain personality types - or for gamers who want quick and sure action - these things matter. I sell keyswitches, all the time. But I bought a couple of used Razer BlackWidow Ultimate keyboards, for modern use. I'm using one now, 2014 year. Depending on year, they either use Cherry keyswitches (various flavors) or a Chinese knockoff. Some models are backlit, some in variable colors. Razer is/was a big name in gaming keyboards; there's copies of their keyboards too, they even copy themselves. Now keycaps, that's another matter. There's interest in those too. Evan, you might have to get keycaps separate from the keyboard, I dunno about that gel-cap stuff. Seems to be a thing. I can't "log in" into "massdrop", I guess their "not-kewl detector" figured out I was over 60 and blocked me. So Mark Whittington's response seems plausible to me. Reading the razer Web site may be informative, or sites that describe their variations.
