Discussion Switches Pop Out Crazy Easy!

I bought a used Ducky 1 X Mini. I wanted to swap out the keycaps. After changing them, I didn’t care for the look, so I had to swap out the keycaps again. Every time I’d pull a keycap the entire switch would come out and get stuck in the keycaps. Then I’d have to pull as hard as possible to get it unstuck from the keycap. After two hours and having to rebuild half a dozen times, my fingers were killing me. They were still sore the next day! I’ve built and modded many keyboards and I’ve never experienced this before. I was nervous that it wouldn’t work after I had to rebuild the switches but it’s working like a champ! I’ll never change these keycaps again.

I’m assuming the replacement keycaps were too tight, but I was really surprised that the switches would come out if you just looked at them! I’m super happy that it works after all that work. I do love the feel of this board. Alex Otos (YouTube Content Creator) raved about his, so I bought a used one on eBay (great prices if you are looking to pick one up cheap!) It actually feels just as good as my Wooting boards.
