Perfect (if you understand how keyboards work)

Posted by Joey V on Oct 29th 2020

I have an Iris rev4 from Keebio, and as my ergo-typing improves I don't use the top row anymore. I'm using these SUCCESSFULLY to block out that top row. HOWEVER, using these is not necessarily as easy as swapping out key caps. Here's how these work and how to use them:

They affix to the switch top housing. I'm using cherry's so they fit as intended (there is a proper orientation as well). If you have a medium or high-profile case these will likely sit around the top of your case. Since they attach to the top of the switch they sit well above the top plate, but comfortably lower than your keycaps (yes, even much lower than the G20s and F10s).

They press down the stem. This means that under normal circumstances they will spam the keystroke. If you're keyboard is not programable, you're out of luck and can't use these (unless you are looking for a permanent sticky key). But check out the F10s instead.

If you're keyboard is programable you'll need to disable the keys you're applying these to (for example, with QMK this means using "KC_NO" or "XXXXXXX").

Another issue I ran into is specific to split keyboards, perhaps not all controllers and firmware, however. My right side is the master, but after applying these (and even though I disabled the appropriate keys) the left side acted "derpy". Flashing the left side to match the firmware on the right side fixed this.

Adding some of this information to the product description would likely help to ensure customers understand what they are buying. Cheers.
Works for me...but!

I needed to block 4 switches on my koolertron keypad. I was a little hesitant to buy these at first after reading the other review about the blockers pressing down on the switch. I was able to disable the keys in the keypads configuration mode, so this wasn't an issue for me, but I can see how it can be for those who can't disable unused switches. So that's why I'm giving these a 4 star.
Opposite of what I expected

The description says that these disable use for the keys, but it does the exact opposite. The blockers keep the switch pressed at all times. I was hoping to put this over the Windows key to "disable" the key, but it renders my computer completely unusable as the windows key is constantly pressed.
