So i got a k70 (my first gaming keyboard ever). I discovered it had cracked keycaps, contacted support, i had to send mine over to get a new keybaord. I recently got the replacement keyboard, But i noticed again that some keycaps were broken( split in the stem).

-Will those broken keycaps damage my switches in any way? 

-will these keycaps fully break? and how fast? 

 

I really do not want to send my keybaord in again

 

Thanks for your reply :) i am quite new to this so excuse me if i made any mistake

From my experience, the more you use the key the further the crack will be  and the looser it will become.

 

You should probably RMA it again, or you could try to work out a deal so you get a discount on their PBT keycap set. Perhaps that will be of better quality than Corsair's razer thin (no pun intended) ABS caps on their boards by default.

Their PBT set is only in white though, if I remember correctly.

 

I had this issue at work with a Gigabyte keyboard, the Ctrl key had a cracked stalk, which made it actually fling off if you struck it the wrong way.
