Thanks, but I'm only really interested in north-facing boards.

Ah, yeah unfortunately the custom space is pushing all these companies to use south facing when it’s not really needed anymore and it’s objectively worse lighting. Best of luck on your hunt

Thank you! I've been saying this for a while and get constant pushback on it.

All enthusiast-tier switches made at this point have longer stems to avoid north-facing conflicts. Can't speak to your basics like Cherry and Gateron switches, but the people buying these boards aren't using those anyways. It makes no sense to still make PCBs be south-facing.

Even Gateron has adjust the mold for the top housing to negative north facing interference on non long pole switches
