@T0mb3ry hey there, are you aware of any issues with the R5 style more angled bottom row caps having problems with clearance on south-facing-LED MX-style switches (MX Silent Black in my case)?
I'm having trouble with my set's bottom row, where the plastic strengthening bits on the underside are somehow touching the switch casing too much I think, causing the keys to have a "sticky" feeling.
Any ideas if theres a tried and true remedy available or whether I should just pick a sharp knife or something and carve the keycap undersides a little to allow better clearance?

Hey again. I took a better look at what the problem is, and it is with 99% certainty the stem pillar on the keycap hitting the stem hole edges of the switch housing if the keycap is in a "bent" enough position when pressing it down. So either the stem pillar is a bit off on the R5 molds or then the Silent variant housing is tighter than expected around the stem, which sounds like a feasible theory to me. The stem on the switch does not get stuck in any way if it is bent into that certain position without the keycap on it.
I shaved a small amount off of the stem pillar to see what happens and either its placebo or then it doesn't get stuck nearly as badly as before.
In the image marked with red are the spots that are hitting each other and causing the two to get stuck based on my highly scientific research method of doing it a ton of times and making an educated guess.![]()

ojraskAh this one. I know that issue. I encountered this one as well and i fixed it by rounding that edge on stem pillar. It is indeed too "sharp" and in some cases it might hit the edge of the top housing. It appears randomly tho and you have to hit the key in south direction to notice it (R5s angle is definitely perfect for that).
