face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I tried a new =
set of
keytops, for me, today...Kluge. I usually use Schaff's =
keytops...the
Kluge were in connected sets of 7...C through B. Right off =
the bat
I had to break the sets apart, which was a pain...in fact until I =
figured out
the secret (carefully break from the tail until down to the front, then
bend/break in that plane), I broke one front and had to carefully fit =
that together
when gluing...after that I found (opposite of the Schaff keytops) that =
the
keytop front didnt' want to adhere to the front of the key...in other =
words it
didn't have any inherent pressure towards the key's front =
surface.
With the Schaff, the angle of the keytop front made the adhesion good =
but
tended to push the keytop up at the top front area and I'd get =
separation
unless I clamped. The Kluge keytop fronts are apparently at =
90
degrees to the top. I ended up using blue painters tape to come =
from the
key button stretched across the keytop and over the front and underneath =
the
key to apply pressure and keep the front against the keys front =
surface...I
hope this is clear? At first I didnt' like the difference =
but in
retrospect I didn't have to clamp the keys, the blue tape did the =
trick...<br>
<br>
Anyone else have any comments about Kluge...whatever...<br>
