Keytops ?? :-(

[MICHAEL MORVAN]

Jim,
    I have put down hundreds of these sets and have seen them on every set. 
You have to cut or sand the dimple off or it can hang the keytop up a bit 
and as you said be a bit visible. Wait until you use another common set of 
keytops with molded fronts, and figure out that the fronts are not always 
perpendicular to the tops, those are a joy to work with. Be careful.
