A few tips:

Use the search function, this question has been answered time and time again.

You should look into a KeyGuard, it covers your caps lock key so you don't accidentally type in caps :roll:.

Youve made a good start with the era cylinder stick with that for now no need to get anymore.

Read illusions guide to repinning a lock.
Read the MIT guide (i guess you already have),
Read all the stickies on site,
Dont use caps lock its classed as shouting on forums etc.

Is this a real product? Or is someone just extracting the urine? :?:

You could just get him to lever off the caps lock with a screw driver.....

Hahaha, sorry for the long link.

Yes, I think it is a real product as their website describes how it is used and you can get them customized.
