Potato Keycap

Sounds like it's still the same cap as mine, just it fits your stem slightly better. I still think it's a horrible cap considering my issues and the other guys, plus it was already problematic before this last drop. I have 10 3D caps that all work perfectly. This is the only one with issues. And what makes it worse, we were told it had been improved, but it hasn't.

BrainFlushWell... It wouldn't be very good for me, because I still don't know which key is which... Yeah but it's cool.

So here I am excited at getting my awesome looking potato cap. I go to place it next to my cool cheese cap and what do you know... 1st image shows the lack of depth in the female stem on the potato cap. 2nd shows you what a normal female stem recession should look like. HUGE DIFFERENCE Then we get to seating it on my keyboard. And what do you know? It barely sits down. 3rd lets you see how far away the cap is from the board's base, you can see the switch... And lastly the 4th image is for those that want to see it with and LED on.
Dear MassDrop, I asked before if the previous issue/s were ironed out, seems they aren't. The cap as it stand now is unusable due to the horrible short depth in the stem. While I like this cap a lot, it's just not worth it when there are plenty of 3D cap makers who produce far better quality caps for cheaper. I am curious if someone isn't doing their job? Who approves this after having put in on a keyboard, took pictures for the drop and clearly they knew it wouldn't seat right and can fall off if pressed? It is unacceptable.
PS Do not do this drop until you resolve this major and I mean glaringly horrible problem. Now I have to go get my dremel dirty to dig a deeper hole in the stem. Am I getting paid for this extra effort to make something work as it should out of the box? No. And I want 3D caps to succeed but they won't if you give them a bad name here.

So I got this keycap last week and tested it out right away. Agree with a lot of the sentiments being shared here. The stem wasn't really done properly and the grip is pretty spotty. I tried using some tape in between the stem which did improve the grip a little but definitely not as secure as I'd like. We will go back to the drawing board for the stem design on this one and do more thorough testing on these type of caps before dropping them in the future. Thanks everyone for your feedback.

We have some good news to share with everyone. Our vendor has been working closely with the factory to ensure that production goes smoothly. They expect to be able to ship our bulk order on 12/21, and transit time from their location typically takes about a week. We are currently right on schedule and are aiming to ship everything out of our warehouse by the estimated ship date of 12/31.
Expect an update from us by the end of the day Pacific Time on 11/25 or sooner if something comes up.

This thing was freaking terrible. Worst keycap I ever (attempted) to use on a keyboard.

Does anyone know if the kaihl keys will fit this key cap as well? When I popped off my keys from my thermaltake Poseidon z they seemed pretty identical but I'm not 100% sure. Can anyone else confirm?
