Date: August 30, 2025 I was curious how/if my custom keycap design was hitting my switches. So I set out to find out what the fitup inside of this assembly looks like, but not theoretically, a fully sliced view into their fit up in the flesh. The set up ────────── To setup for this cut, I flooded the edge of a 2x4 with hot glue, and inserted the cap such that the step was tangent with the edge. This way I could use the edge as a guide to cut one side off and leave the stem in tact. I took a handsaw to it and filed it smooth.

I found that the pictures turned out really good, but nothing was touching and it sits in the stem exactly as I thought it did. I had a thought, what if the cap is not allowing the switch to reach it’s full travel, and had no way to know, but now I know.
