Why not just trim the walls of the BS stem and epoxy the flat top inside like you would for an MX stem mod?  You shouldn't need the entire bottom half of the two part cap, at least from my understanding of BS caps.

I'm wondering how much of it I'll need, nubbinator. When you press down on a BS switch, there is a barrel under the cap to be considered. What I might have to do as well, if I shave the sides down (and I won't know this until the end) is trim the barrel down a bit as well for clearance.

Just FYI,  the tool you're using to measure is called a micrometer. Not calipers. That's a nice set though, I've never seen mics with a readout like that.

Bro, I know what calipers are. I have both here. Did you forget this is what I do? ;)

Hey mang, you said calipers then showed a picture of the mics. I just wanted you and others to know what was up ;). Since I'm not being helpful, I'll see myself out :(.

Mitutoyo tools are my favorite :D.

Ah, I see what you mean. I said micrometer and calipers, but I didn't show a picture of everything, you're right. Well, we're all clear now. :))

I would have figured that a company that has this as a department would spend the money for a bit higher quality than Mititoyo.  I would have gone with either Starrett, or high end Swiss, or German instruments.

As a whole, for what we do, micrometers and calipers like these are used fairly rarely. I'm sure somewhere along the line in time, someone did a quality vs. cost analysis and made a decision to go with Mitutoyo. But, as a company, we've purchased so many different brands of gauges. These just happened to be two spare pieces sitting in the office, reserved for use in training.

Please don't use the word "melt" in a sentence referring to Clacks :eek:
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
