Title: gaterons hanging?
Post by: Harms on Sun, 13 December 2015, 04:51:41

Hey guys I heard gateron mx clones stick/hang. Is there anyone here who has gateron and is rocking thick caps like dsa or something on them with no issues?

My KBP V60 with Gateron Reds would catch or just feel scratchy when pressed off-center on B,N and M keys with Tai Hao caps. DSA and SA were fine. A few others have had similar problems, but it doesn't seem to be much of an issue. I replaced the switches with tactile Zealios (also Gateron) and haven't had any problems (and they feel fantastic).

I replaced my Gaterons with Leopold keycaps and they feel freaking awesome.  No hanging or sticking or anything.

Thanks for the input my main concern is cherry profiles and dsa I'm sure I'll be fine

I have cherry doubleshots on my gateron blacks and it does have a 'stick' sometimes. I havent hardly used it since I put them in but when i tested it for a bit they did feel like the hung up for a second or something. I hadn't heard of this before now but I did think something felt strange somehow. Maybe I'll use it again for a while to see if I still notice whatever it was.

I have a v60 with Gateron switches  and  Leopold caps.  They   have  not  stuck one time.   Perhaps there are little imperfections in the mold that need to be sanded down which are catching?
