Title: Does a single key plate cover exist for keys you don't want?
Post by: Learis on Mon, 28 September 2020, 18:02:41

Does something exist where instead of the typical switch and keycap, I don't want anything there. Instead I'd like some flat plastic square that just snaps over that position on the plate to cover it up flat-like.

The idea is that for a particular 65% layout I find certain keys around the arrow keys to be completely unecessary for me. They're a hindrance as they make it more confusing to find the arrow keys if I'm touch typing, so I'd just like to completely get rid of them but still have the plate look somewhat stylish (at least not have an empty hole where the key was). So I'd just like a little flat square plate to snap in over that spot.
