Designed around the 'small window candle cutting' aesthetic, these parts are more than cosmetic; they integrate specialised damping materials and a unique structure intended to create a linear, muted keypress. The 4-piece format allows for targeted upgrades to frequently used keys or for testing in a build before committing to a full set. Each component is manufactured to precise specifications to ensure consistent performance across the switches you assemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures and Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom mechanical keyboard switch bottom housings with small window design.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/07bdedd1-e099-474e-8739-ef506aeb6230.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis switch bottom housing is defined by its material composition and internal design, which directly influence the keyboard's acoustics and tactile feedback. The construction prioritises a stable keypress with reduced noise, achieved through a combination of engineered polymers and damping gels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial and Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core structure uses a PA (Nylon) bottom shell that has been modified with a GF C5 compound, a formulation intended to enhance certain physical characteristics of the base material. The shaft core itself is a two-part assembly: a body made from low-friction POM and an integrated pad of custom-formulated soft silicone gel specifically designed for sound dampening. The upper cover of the complete switch assembly is made from POK polymer, a material selected for its impact resistance and durability in mechanical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and Practical Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe housing is designed to work with a standard MX-style switch footprint, making it compatible with many custom mechanical keyboards. The key mechanical specifications include a trigger (actuation) point at 1.9mm of travel and a full bottom-out distance of 3.7mm. These housings are intended to be used with a 16mm long, single-section spring (XC55 specification) which contributes to the defined actuation force of 38g and a bottom-out force of 55g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUses and Placement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom mechanical keyboard switch bottom housings with small window design.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/2f526096-b329-457f-bed6-135601a1956a.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese components are central to the DIY custom keyboard community, where individual switch feel and sound are highly personalised. They are not a complete switch but a fundamental part that determines housing stability and sound profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEvent or Professional Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor keyboard meet-ups, competitive gaming, or office environments where keyboard noise is a concern, modifying switches with these muted bottom housings can create a more acoustically pleasant experience. The linear action and dampened sound profile aim to provide consistency and reduce auditory distraction during prolonged use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEveryday Home Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt home, these allow an enthusiast to build a keyboard that suits their personal preference for a quieter, smooth keypress without the tactile bump of other switch types. The 4-piece kit is ideal for modifying the primary gaming keys (WASD) or the spacebar enter keys, which are often the focus of custom sound dampening projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits and Buying Value\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom mechanical keyboard switch bottom housings with small window design.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/4e1cebe2-70f7-4fd3-b405-27f8ae3788da.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe value lies in the ability to precisely alter the foundation of your keyboard's switches, a level of modification that pre-built keyboards do not offer. It provides a targeted upgrade path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReuse and Low Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a structural component, the bottom housing is not subject to wear in the same way as moving parts like springs or stems. Once installed in a soldered or hot-swap keyboard, it requires no maintenance. The materials selected, like POK and modified PA, are chosen for their long-term stability in a mechanical assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose this kit if you require specific bottom housings to complete a custom switch build focusing on a linear, muted sound signature. The inclusion of specialised Japanese silencing oil lubrication and a silicone-damped core offers a pre-configured path to a quieter switch, saving time compared to sourcing and combining these elements separately. It is a component for builders who pay attention to every detail of switch acoustics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom mechanical keyboard switch bottom housings with small window design.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/564ffc80-e27f-4219-ad20-e436523cf13b.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom mechanical keyboard switch bottom housings with small window design.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/5e04b804-c5fa-4257-bfc4-48a891c284f0.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom mechanical keyboard switch bottom housings with small window design.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/804d8d69-97c4-4f09-9f27-d0c0d8a7bcb2.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom mechanical keyboard switch bottom housings with small window design.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/88d3b03a-59bc-4042-bd0c-bfa034d9af25.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom mechanical keyboard switch bottom housings with small window design.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/d5691bc8-f2bb-40f6-92a9-1cc3530240e5.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom mechanical keyboard switch bottom housings with small window design.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/fa28b0e0-bae7-45fa-a294-b03027118b07.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"qydz45-fd","offers":[{"title":"4 Pieces","offer_id":57106678153593,"sku":"CJYD189169101AZ","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/1781\/0553\/files\/2f526096-b329-457f-bed6-135601a1956a.webp?v=1776686393","url":"https:\/\/carovelle.com\/products\/custom-mechanical-keyboard-switch-bottom-housing-small-window-candle-cutting-design-with-linear-mute-mechanical-keyboard-switches-including-a-4-piece-kit-of-dew-coloured-switch-bottoms-for-diy-customisation-and-keyboard-modification-projects","provider":"CaroVelle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
