keycap on the filco is numberpad is extreme lose..
« on: Mon, 03 May 2010, 03:54:50 »
just got my filco number pad today from elitekeyboard....Now here's the problem, the keycaps on the top 2 rows already fell off before I even the box. I was like what the... so I open the box and had look the switch and the under the keycap.

the switch seem to be same as my other filco keyboard, but the "female cross" under the keycap is larger the ones from my filco keyboard, therefore making the keycap lose.

also under the keycap the number pad keycap has " Q M F and a number" while normal keyboard keycap only has a number.

does anyone know here to fix this?

You might have a dud, Cherry keycaps usually fit onto the switches quite securely.

Either way, send an email off to Brian about it, he should be able to offer you an exchange.
