Maybe you'd benefit from a different keycap profile? There's a bunch of options for the standard MX-type mechanical switches, some of which are "spherical" where the contact area is concave and relatively small.

Cherry and OEM are the default keycap style, while SA, XDA and DSA are examples of spherical. There aren't many keyboards which come with spherical keycaps out of the box, but you can easily buy a keycap set separately and install it on any MX keyboard.

- ridgeguy 2y agoThanks for this. You and speerer have given me the idea to get clear plastic near-hemispheres to glue onto my keycaps. KB illumination will still show, and the key target area will be less than half its current value. Much obliged!
- MetaWhirledPeas 2y agoSome tiny rubber dome feet from your local hardware store would do this but would probably slip off. Might be worth a try. Anecdote: I have MT3 key caps and they have a more distinct concavity than my SA key caps.
- cenamus 2y agoWould be great as a first try, and you can always superglue them on securely
