While I was swapping Miami and EK green keycap sets between my QFR and KeyCool at work today, someone asked how many keycap swaps they were rated for.
I paused for a moment in my toils and gave the question due consideration, before summoning my verbals skills and saying something informative and witty like "Er, I dunno".
MX switches are rated for 50 million presses.
Is there any rating or experience index of how many times the keycaps can be swapped?
I would think indefinitely, as long as due caution is exercised when removing the keycaps.
I tend to wiggle the keycap around in a very, very small circle as I am lifting it off - would that eventually loosen the stem? Or cause other damage to the switch? The wiggle is very, very slight - about as much as the keycap moves if you lightly rest your finger on it and move it from side to side without pressing it down. Mainly because I don't like the idea of pulling the keycap straight up.
