Not All Linears Are The Same!
Figure 1: Not even all of these (mostly) KTT-made linears are the same! After all of my years of collecting, reviewing, and obsessing over switches, I can say with certainty that linear switches are the most misunderstood of all of the switch types. No, I’m not talking about mechanically either, as all of the claims of them “just going straight up and down” are somewhat kind of true. (Not too much though, don’t get that excited.) The part that is often misunderstood, though, is usually in what is being implied when people say that these switches just go straight up and down – “All linears might as well be the same.” If the title of this article didn’t make that obvious enough to you, I find that sort of idea to be completely and utterly wrong. The people who make these implications wouldn’t say that a Cherry MX Black is the same as a Novelkeys Cream switch? They also certainly wouldn’t ever claim that every Gateron-made linear is the same as every fancy TTC one out there...

i must admit i'm starting to get anxiety that i'll be told they don't have any replacement parts by the time they get to me. :(
has anyone else got experiences waiting upwards of a week for support and still getting what they needed? it would help calm my nerves a lot.
When you get your replacement be very careful with it. Must be a manufacturing flaw. Also yes, my replacement took a couple weeks to arrive
Plus the cap I've been using in its place has come on and off fine quite a few times
you can see though on the image I posted that the mount barely had anywhere to tear from the cap. the only place it seemed to be joined properly was along the black plastic segment, but the cyan offered very little help.
