Loose key caps?

(1/2) > >>

Quarzac:
I was toying with my new Leopold when I noticed that several of the keycaps in the f-row, number row, and navigation cluster were very loose. Like, could be pulled off with 2 fingers and little force loose. The stems don't seem to be broken, and the caps are the stock ones that came with it, according to the GHer I bought it from. Any easy fix for these, or should I just buy a new set of caps?

I am able to easy remove my FILCO keycaps with 2 fingers.

Ask the #1 expert in the galaxy, what is the (min, avg, max)  load required to pull a keycap (each row) for Leopold/FLICO boards?

Cheers

On my MJ2 Tenkeyless, the PBT caps from imsto are super tight. However, on my full size MJ1 (both boards are browns, mind you), every single cap went on without any friction. I could hold the board upside down and most would fall off.

Quarzac:
So... This is normalish? I guess I won't worry about it. Though I plan to get a set of keycaps from WASD at some point in the near future.

I had this problem with the RGB double shot set, the stabilizer inserts wouldn't stay in the shift keys.
