Having used chiclet-style keyboards for so long, going back to the traditional keycaps on a mechanical keyboard (where the keycaps taper upwards and become much narrower than the maximum width of the base) is causing a lot of grief for me.

Any recommendations on wide keycaps that do not taper upwards (i.e.: keycap base and top of keycap are the same width)?

Yes, something like those.

It's not about getting used to it or practicing more. I have trying to 'get used to it' for more than two months and it's still causing a lot of grief.

There's a reason chiclet-style keycaps became the norm in most keyboards and it has got a lot to do with the fact that the surface area for striking the keycap is greatly increased, which makes it much harder to typo. Which is extremely useful and important for switches with very low actuation forces like thin rubber domes and red switches.
