GMK HyperFuse Origins Cap Stems Split

[starhacker]

After a week of use some of keycaps stems split in half. For now, I think only two caps are split from the top number row. Had to use super glue on the stems to keep them from breaking off completely. I expected a bit higher quality build for these caps. The stem borders are quite thin.

Any one else had breakage issues with GMK caps? Is there a way to get replacements?

Quite unusual to hear honestly.

What switches are you using?

You could contact Originative and see if they have replacements.

I am using Gateron Red switches. Are there MX clones that have issues fitting keycaps?

Do you have any pics? I've never had issues with GMK splitting like that.

Did you use a keypuller?

Wow that is not something that you hear everyday... OP go buy yourself a lotto ticket, you are the chosen one!

I'm sure if you contact sheraton @ originativeco.com that he'll be able to help you out, he's a swell fella

I'll post some pics. Yes I do use a keycap puller. All the other keys are in in good shape. From what I can tell, only the "1" and "5" caps split.

Lotto ticket here I come. Thanks for the email. Hopefully I can get some replacements. Even though the glue is holding well, the stems now fit a bit loose.
