Really wish these switches came in a black encasing. Really want to try 'em out.

ShalakazaamWith PCB mounted LED's becoming the norm in custom and semi custom boards, I'd expect to see more key switches moving to clear casings.

KethAre they becoming the norm, though? My Nightfox has no LEDs, which is one reason why I bought this specific kit.

ShalakazaamIf you don't turn the LEDs on then there's no light ;)

ShalakazaamThe point is, clear switch housings work with everything, where as using black or white housings makes them incompatible with a larger number of designs.

Kethi disagree. black and white are neutral. clear looks funny with a lot of designs. really the only purpose of clear is if youve got a clear case or youre using LEDs

ShalakazaamI can't think of anything going through group buy right now with a low profile case.

Thornkini see. low profiles are still being sold on the regular nonetheless, like the magicforce and some ajazz ones, even tho they arent kits. im sure there are more that im unaware of

ShalakazaamThe CTRL and ALT have been selling like hotcakes so clearly there is a market for low profiles. They may be out of fashion among the trendsetters right now though.

Thornkinyeah theres those too. i wouldnt say theyre out of fashion, but theyre simply not the majority of whats being manufactured and sold right now unfortunately. theres often a lack of choice in the custom world due to the nature of the business
