Yea I've never had this problem and I have 20+ sets of doubleshot clones

I have like every single doubleshot clone set and I've never had this problem. Knock on wood. I take them off and put them on so many times to.

Last board I got from them is sitting in a box unused. Unfortunate as the board is beautiful.

for sure, read all your comments. just wanted to put it out there for people that might be tempted into buying clones and give like a list of keycaps that are in-stock and good quality

I did not, my plate foam wasnt even cut right, so i said screw it. Overall, kinda unimpressed with the case tbh, but still prefer it to no case.

Yeah, obviously I'm gonna be extra careful with caps in future just in case, but I suspect it's a QC issue.

I understand what you're saying, very interesting how these break on keypresses.

I honestly like it. I think the Ortholinear setup is nice. Also the customizable macro keys at the top would be a great addition as well. Honestly would love this

That’s so funny, I’m building mine right now, even with the p3d case.
Did you use plate foam? I didn’t realize having the diodes soldered on the top would interfere

Preaching to the choir here. Forked out quite a bit for pmk keycaps after this experience. I've learned my lesson about quality.

Yeah, normal keycap puller. Maybe I could have been more gentle I suppose, but everything points to it being an issue with the keycaps. Two broke during keypress, one during keycap removal, and one just happened to be broken when I next looked at the board.
It's not odd imo that they're broken on one side. Objects break at their weakest point first, that's just physics.
Honestly I'd love this to be my fault so that I can guarantee it never happens again, but it's hard to scientifically test how much difference it would make to more carefully add and remove keycaps when 94% are fine regardless and they feel and sound like the cheapest softest ABS there is.

I know they are still more xpensive than clones but cannoncaps, dcx, pbtfans, ifk, kam, kat and many more have amazing instock options. Gmk clones in long run ruins the market making everything so much worse
