Removed LED diffuser and replaced with foam as per guide here: https://m.imgur.com/a/QV9zDP4

Foam I used was 3mm thick which leaves a slight gap (intended effect) between the top and bottom parts of the case. All very straightforward given it's the first time I've ever opened up a keyboard. 😬 For reference, I^ cut the foam to 25x7cm which fitted nicely between the screw holes.

Photo doesn't really do it justice, but I'm pleased with the result as I couldn't stand the chunky white diffuser with the black case. Shame Drop don't offer colour-matched diffusers for those who aren't too fussed about using the edge LEDs.

Interesting mod to make to a CTRL. Did they not ever offer a non-diffused version of the case?

I don't believe so - seems to be white no matter which variant you buy. Shame really - feel like it's a trick (money-making opportunity) missed!

It probably doesn't cost much to make a smoke or dark colored acrylic insert there...

What are the keycaps you have here?

They're all MT3 from Drop. Base is Skiidata, the orange key is from the Skiidata Accents set, and the Escape key is from the Captain America set!
