Wow, I was waiting on this and for some reason I didn't get notifications... I'm so disappointed, these are exactly what I was waiting for.    Lots of disappointment lately, I think it's time to leave here, I literally can't get anything lol.

Have patience - some people get lucky as soon as they join, others take a little longer.  I did not get my first artisan keycap until at least 6 months after I joined!
"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

Took me almost three years to get my one and only Clack....the wait was worth it though. After some persistence and help from other GeekHackers I now have x1 clack, x1 kbk, x8 smiling jacks, and the list goes on.

AND NOW I finally have myself a Krap Cap!!! You'll get there and a lot of times it happens when you weren't looking for it. GL!

I have a sad...

The stem of these beautiful artisans do not fit my Royal Kludge RC930 sliders


so I am assuming they will not fit in a Noppoo EC108 slider either


From the pictures, I am unsure if they will fit a Novatouch slider, the gap does look slightly wider


I am considering dremeling the stem a bit to see if I can make it fit, but I balk at the idea of modifying someone else's work of art

I need some loving advice  :-[

I think the issue with adapting Krytone's MX caps for Topre boards is actually the thickness of the cap (at least it was for my Crowned Skull). The stem fit fine (it was a rounded), but the sides would get stuck around the housing whenever the key was pressed.

Yes my Warmaster fits fine as well, sorry for not mentioning that?

I hope I will not have more issues besides the stem, pending further information I will attempt to modify the stem of this Yellow/Green Crowned
If further modifications appear necessary, I will complete them on this particular key, but doubt I will replicate the process for the three Kraps I just won
I am devastated by this turn of events, because I have fallen in love with the typing feels of this Royal Kludge and do not wish to return to an MX board at this time

keep us updated.  i had the same turn of events when i tried my crowned skull on my royal kludge.  is yours the 45g or the 55g?  i have the 45g and though it's neat, i keep going back to my MX browns for the more tactile feels.  wondering if the 55g would be more my style.

it's getting slightly stuck on my vortex aluminum case, but works fine on my mx boards with plastic cases.  i put two o-rings on it and that helps a lot.

I received some good information from a fellow member, and as soon as I see the modified ones that Kry did, I will be able to determine the difficulty of the modification
From what I've read though, it does not seem to be overly challenging - but I definitely do not want to cause any damage

As for your inquiry, my Kludge is the 55g - I also own two MX keyboards, one Brown and one Clear, and personally, I like the tactility and weight of the 55g the best of the three
I believe it is the way the tactility operates that really gives me that keyboarding ecstasy, that and the awesome WOMK noise while I type

yeah, the sound is fantastic!  the 45g just feels almost the same as reds to me.  anyway, don't mean to derail krytone's thread too much.  thanks for the feedback, maybe i'll try a 55g version at some point.

Since Crowned Skulls seem to work fine on MX for everyone except me, Im starting to believe there has to be something different on my cap or maybe even switch.

For me however the crowned gets (more then slightly) stuck every time its pressed and locks into position pretty hard.
Also as far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be any contact to the case, so I don't really believe that to be the factor.

I just took some quick potato pics to show what it looks like and proof it does get stuck.

For me however the crowned gets (more then slightly) stuck every time its pressed and locks into position pretty hard.
Also as far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be any contact to the case, so I don't really believe that to be the factor.

I just took some quick potato pics to show what it looks like and proof it does get stuck.

Thx Muffin! =)

I really hope there is like a simple fix to it getting stuck!
Like maybe its just because of the type of LED used on my switch, since others don't have the issue?

Gonna try on a switch tester for comparison in a bit!  :)

From your pictures it appears the inside rim of the cap is getting stuck on the outside edge of the switch

Quick Paint-work:


Although a top down shot of the switch would be beneficial

I just tried my crowned skull from the assorted kraps sale on regular cherry MX Browns and Im having Issues as well... Ö_Ö

I only used the judgementals before and never had any issues whatsoever, but the crowned gets stuck for me on regular MX.

it's getting slightly stuck on my vortex aluminum case, but works fine on my mx boards with plastic cases.  i put two o-rings on it and that helps a lot.


Since Crowned Skulls seem to work fine on MX for everyone except me, Im starting to believe there has to be something different on my cap or maybe even switch.

For me however the crowned gets (more then slightly) stuck every time its pressed and locks into position pretty hard.

Mine caught on the back and front of the stem for a while, a couple of hundred presses later there was noticeable white(ish) dust on the black one - are you sure yours is sticking at the back?  Mine was from the first sale for that style, the one from the second sale has always been fine but maybe they vary slightly depending on colour?

Thx Liar!
It could be the sides you marked since they seem ever so slightly thicker...

I shot Krytone a pm as well and he already answered and offered to help too! :)
Much thankies again! <3

As far as I understand it should also already be fixed on new molds! =D

Im currently not at home, but Ill try on a switch tester without LEDs later first, and I can make a quick top down shot aswell of course!
