Solidtek 6600 - weird construction flaw

[Stormwatch]

I've bought a Solidtek 6600 recently, and for $40 I didn't expect anything too fancy. But this detail was a bit of a letdown:



As you see, the 'C' can't be pressed as deep as the others keys; it sounds different too. Now, it's technically not 'defective', it works fine, and it's still better than anything that I could get locally. Besides, international shipping would make a return more expensive than straight up buying another unit. Still, it's quite annoying to buy something and find it's a bit 'off' like that.

Get on with it, Ripster will call it McRip effect.

Besides, even something cost more than $100(razer BWU) also had such problem and no much ppl whine about it, so you better get use to it.

is the cap sitting correct on the stem? what switches are on that board anyway?

Supposedly, Alps simplified type I. No idea if the problem is the cap or the switch itself, tried to pull out the key but could't, so I gave up.

To the OP and others as a WARNING.

When I clicked on the photo (post #1) I got two popups and one of them was a large and live "adult" related one. NSFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a heads up!  =S

Yay, fixed it. Managed to remove the cap, and there was this little bit of plastic inside that clearly should have been removed but was not.



As it was a freak case, and easily fixed, now I can say it is a pretty good keyboard, definitely worth the price.
