## The Importance of Stability
No one like a wobbly keycap, so make sure that the keycaps fit snugly on the keyboard. Keycaps are held in place by the switch stem, and they should not move around when you press on them.

## Feel the Texture
The texture of the keycaps can affect your typing experience. Keycaps can have a smooth, textured or sculpted surface. Smooth keycaps are easy to clean and don’t collect dirt as easily. Textured and sculpted keycaps can provide more grip and improve your typing accuracy.
