Has anyone had any success in fixing the "tight Fitting" problem with the first generation zinc caps? I'm very worried about even putting them on my board.

Somebody suggested that a light Dremeling helped. (R.I.P.ster perhaps?)
If you go too far with that, the Saran Wrap mod might bring it back to "just right" but this is a real "trial and error" solution!

If you look at the round2 vs the round1, you will see that instead of an enclosed stem, they just made the stem an opened cross cut. Seems to me that you could do the same thing to yours, assuming you had the correct tool to perform the two cuts.

its actually pretty strange .. the QWERTY and ASDFG rows are the opened cross cut stems and the ZXCVB row are the enclosed stem. Both very tight..
