The best thing about double chocs: you can just break off that last column for a tasty snack *and* enjoy a better layout!

I'm quite sure I've seen POS keyboards where some of the switches have been covered with some kind of "blanking" keycap, where that key is not in use… I must be getting the search terms wrong, because I can't find any examples. Does anyone know a) what Im talking about and b) where I might get some?

You're talking about switch blockers, and the only place I recall seeing them was from Signature Plastics. I don't know where they get them from, though, and they claim not to be the manufacturer themselves.Floating.Point wrote: ↑06 Oct 2021, 17:45I'm quite sure I've seen POS keyboards where some of the switches have been covered with some kind of "blanking" keycap, where that key is not in use… I must be getting the search terms wrong, because I can't find any examples.

There exists two kinds, one flat (even with the keyboard surface when in place, so that they then actually press the switch) and the other one kind of pyramidal.
I may have a few beige flat ones, but won't be able to check immediately.

Thanks Tiproman
Those pyramidal ones sound interesting. I would want black though, as that's my keyboard colour. At least there's a second avenue for exploration, so thanks again
