Backlit Pok3r Key Wobble

Hi, I just received my new backlit Pok3r and the first thing that I noticed is that there is noticeably more key wobble than any other keyboard I have tried. I currently have in my possession a WASD Code (clear) with stock ABS keycaps and an older non-backlit Pok3r (brown) with stock PBT keycaps.

I've done a few searches and am aware that using higher quality keycaps can reduce key wobble. Are the keycaps on the new backlit Pok3r just cheaper? I would put the PBT keycaps from the other Pok3r on the backlit one, but form past experience, new Cherry MX clear switches need to be used for a week or two before the keycaps will come off easily.

Aside from the key wobble, I'm really enjoying the new Pok3r. It would be nice if the backplate was black though...

Given the Pok3r comes with an aluminium case I'd hazard a guess that money was saved elsewhere in the production. The standard caps are pretty nasty and I really noticed the difference when I coupled the Pok3r with some DSA Dolch.

Thats my dream setup, but the price is what's holding me back..
