I was swapping keycaps on my 11900 modded partially with clears from mk.com.
They were a PITA to pull out, I even pulled one cap out with the stem and top still attached.
My stock blacks on the other hand were effortless to pull out.
So why did cherry make clear stems thicker now? An error or are they doing it on purpose?
Confirmed, at least on what I have.
Maybe it is an error or it is just production coefficient?
As far as I know and test, different Cherry MX stem has slightly different tightness with keycap :
Clear >> Blue ~ Brown ~ Black ~ Green >> Red
*Clear is very tight on OEM keycap sets
*Red is very loose on imsto side printed keycap set
It's just my personal test on 4 keycap sets:
+ 2 Cherry imsto Keycap sets (side printed and dye-sub)
+ 1 Cherry original set
+ 1 OEM WASD keycap set
+ 2 OEM Filco stock set
However, don't quote me on this because maybe Cherry has many different production lines and molds.
