A brief reflection and look at how far our community has come since joining. I’ve been in the mechanical keyboard hobby for a very long time. It started as a high school student’s search for a keyboard for writing novels back in the 2008-2009 school year. I thought I wanted to be an author and I felt I needed a keyboard that I could sit down to at my desk and just write. After researching, joining forums, and saving money, I made my first purchase in the hobby, a blank black Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2. I still own this keyboard and while it is heavily modded now, it remains one of my all-time favorites.

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.
