Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the Novatouch. However, I heard about this issue about loose keycaps on the stem. Is this true for most mx keycaps? Are they loose on the novatouch? I heard about this when it was first released and stuff. Or does it happen only to certain keycaps? Thank you for the help.
On most keys, whatever keycaps you put on will fit tightly. You need a keycap removing to to safely pull them out, as with any Cherry MX keyboard.
On some keys the keycaps are a little bit lose, to the point that I have been able to remove some of them with my bare hands. I think it has to do with the kind of plastic they use for the sliders, which has a very low friction coefficient (which is excellent for the feel of the switch).
If you ever have a problem with a keycap that is a little bit too lose, it can be fixed very easily by inserting a small piece of thin paper between the slider and the keycap, as you would do as usual on a Cherry MX keyboard. I did not have to do that on my Novatouch.
So to sum it up:
no issue here.
