Title: HHKB stock keycaps, visible stem normal?
Post by: kb1200 on Sun, 05 February 2017, 18:06:50

Is this normal on these keycaps? The top row seems to have visible stems with certain light? I've never noticed this on my cherry boards with double shot PBT caps.

My grey Leopold FC660C caps have them kinda visible but only at certain angles. I think it shows up more on lighter caps

Conversely, they are not visible on the keycaps on my Leopold Mini C (white).
