But that's another symptom of the first problem. I think you're right. It's 
probably the keytops. With the naturals being the right overall thickness 
at the keytop, the sharps can be leveled at the proper height relative to 
the keytop with a shorter punching stack under the balance, and the bottoms 
of the naturals won't touch them. It also means that the front punching 
stack under the sharps will be shorter too, which means the naturals will 
clear them too. If the naturals are too thick compared to the sharps, you 
get the choice of either having the punchings interfere, or burying the 
sharps.
