Fellow Redditor qubist1 uses a ZSA Moonlander which he finds a great keyboard, "made greater by its customizability". After typing on it for a few months, however, he has noticed a number of unused keys and wanted to remove them in a graceful way.

ZSA sells the "Zip Kit" for $60 so I designed and 3D printed the part instead. Took a few hours and cents worth of plastic.

These covers snap into place over the holes, hold pretty secure, and can be pried off "with a little finesse".
