Never own SA keycaps before.

Just apply a little KY on the stem and it should easily be inserted or removed, with no problems  :thumb: .

I haven't heard that - but there are not that many SA sets around.

SP DSA used to be very tight, but that was by design for industrial keyboards that sometimes get dropped, so the keycaps were tight so they didn't fall off.  SP adjusted their manufacturing process for enthusiast DSA sets so they were not as tight.

SA I don't think would be used as much industrially, so I would imagine they would not be too tight.

The DSA caps are still just as tight for 'industrial' purposes. The problem was some tooling was extra tight a while back but that has been fixed.

I haven't gotten an SA set yet, hopefully soon. But it has been observed that clear stems seem to have a tighter fit regardless of key cap.
