I'm trying to come up with a way that could fix light bleeding on caps. I believe it would be best if there was a way to make a thin black shell on the inside of the cap blocking all light from shining through. I wanted to see if anybody had any other suggestions, designs, or current ways to fix this issue. I'm currently to be trying out a few ideas and report back if there is any sort of success.
I cut out a piece of black paper just to see how effective it could be, it worked surprisingly well. It is obviously not a permanent solution. I'm hoping to create a thin mold for the inside of the cap that would cover the entire inside of the cap while having a cutout for the stem.

Any reason why I would not prefer to use any sort of tape, paper, etc. is that it would be ruined if I would ever want to wash the caps.

Hmmm, thank you for sharing. That seems to work but at the same time I would almost like to make a mold so it would be easy to just pop inside the cap rather than applying tape to each individual one. If I just get too frustrated then I will definitely use that method.

Another option is to colour the underside of the keycaps with something like a Sharpie, but that would not be as readily reversible.
Or get thicker keycaps.

Yeah I was thinking a Sharpie but that is quite the permanent fix. I like the caps I currently have and they don't come in any sort of thicker option so that is obviously out the picture, I'm sure that's going to be what a lot of people are going to recommend.

I'm honestly about to just wipe this thread since I know it's already going to be filled with ****posters. If you don't have anything beneficial to say then don't waste your time.

I'm sorry mate
just use some kind of cloth that can be removed when you want to clean the caps
