Title: Raising keycap height.
Post by: Slyce on Mon, 27 February 2012, 03:18:11

So I recently bought some keycaps from a group buy and they sit about 1-2mm lower then the rest on my board.

I can feel it (believe it or not) and it is really bugging me.

Is there a way to boost a keycap up a bit?

Thanks,

If you have an extra key to sacrifice, you can cut a bit off a stem and add a spacer ring to these.

Some of the kinesis guys have done this to get the thumb keys to work out.

In my defence this post is after I ordered the keys I am referring to.

Could try some surgery I guess... thanks.
