this is how I modded my 87u for HiPro housing and keycaps
- the infamous left Ctrl - it is well known that the plate has to be widen in 1 corner to rotate the housing 90 degrees for the correct stem orientation. Next is to desolder the LED off the PCB but I’m too lazy / don’t have the tool to do that. So a simple solution is to cut a chunk off a corner of the housing to clear the LED. And it works to perfection
- Similarly to the LCtrl LED, the Numlock LED also requires cutting a corner of the HiPro housing, which I gladly obliged!
And the final result is very satisfying, I get to retain both LED functionalities AND HiPro housing for less wobble!
