Potato Keycap

Dec 2, 2015

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.

BrainFlushHey I'm still waiting on mine to get in. Once I have this on hand I'll check it over and see what's going on with it.

AkumaKuronoTasker is his name and Shapeways his game. Google those two names. He's one of the best 3D cap makers around.

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.
