Both my caps broke within 24 hours. These aren't my first artisans, and I've worked with this exact material before - I know how fragile it is - and this is still unacceptable to me that the stems would be so thin.
If you'd like to try to fix your caps yourself, use extra thick superglue applied by a toothpick or wire on the edges of the broken piece, and then once it's in place spread a very thick layer over the exterior of the stem and set it with super glue activator. I haven't had any issues so far after fixing mine.

swellsThis helps me with a different cap I have which I paid much more for only to have it break in a few days, so thanks. (The artist gave me a full refund.)

swellsI've just received mine, the polishing on one of them is awful :( - Do you think i should preemptively apply strong superglue around the stem? Basically drown the stem in superglue? I noticed they haven't quite milled the cross dead center of the stem, and it's REALLLLY thin on one side - think that's where it will snap if its going to go...

tehmoooRemember the keycap stem has to still fit inside the switch housing. Otherwise, do as you see fit.

tehmoooThat backspace key better be a permanent resident of whatever keyboard it is currently on, I guarantee the middle stem will snap right off just like the escape key if you even blow on it.
