Comments on Durock Blue Lotus T1 switches
The removable light diffuser that is included with each switch helps evenly distribute the light source, which makes the RGB look more spread out. The diffuser can be easily removed without opening the switch by pushing upward on the bottom of the switch, where the diffuser is located. The diffuser should pop out without resistance – Kinetic Labs.
