I've got some Hako Box Royals and Hako Box Clears, and they feel great. But they have a clear top housing, which I strongly dislike in my per-key RGB setup, as you end up seeing more light glaring from underneath the key and mixing indiscriminately with that of the surrounding keys, than you do in the actual backlit legends themselves.
I figured I could just swap out the top housing for an opaque model (I assume it would have minimal impact on tactility, and if it's the same design it would hopefully retain the Hako's wobble-free feel) but, to my surprise, I could barely find any opaque Kailh box-style housings anywhere. The closest I came to was the one below. The hot pink would be almost as distracting as light bleed
and it doesn't have any window for LED lighting (unlike the Hakos which have cutout windows, despite being clear). I guess I could try drilling some tiny holes into it to let light through. But is this really my best option? Or are there some opaque Kailh box top housings somewhere online that have so far eluded me?
(btw I only need about 10 or so, so if anyone happens to have some spare opaque Kaihl top housings in their cupboard, please consider selling me a few.
)
