Yes but will the caps hide the backlight?

No. What you're looking for is "ABS keycaps", it's thick "PBT keycaps" that don't let light through.

The ones in that link are made for Ducky Shine keyboards, a model that also has backlight.

Hello, I need help picking out keycaps that light will shine through the letter on the keycap. I have a Razer Blackwidow and i won't white caps. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be amazing!

Correct me if I'm wrong but can you change the key caps? I think once you get them. 

The time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time.

Ducky might sell what you're looking for.

 

The problem is the Blackwidow has an oddly sized spacebar and bottom row function keys, so piecing together a complete matching set will be difficult.

main(i){for(;i<101;i++)printf("Fizz\n\0Fizzz\bBuzz\n\0%d\n"+(!(i%5)^!!(i%3)*3)*6,i);}

Does anyone know if​​ this would work?

Probably to a 95% or so. I'm sure the letters and numbers would fit, and the function keys at the top. The only thing keyboard may vary on is control/windows/alt/spacebar length in the bottom row.

Since the ones you posted are out of stock you might want to consider these:

Thankyou, and will this particular set work with the Razer Blackwidow?

^ Still applies. Looks like the Razer has a longer control, shorter windows key and longer alt.

You could always use the original black keys in the "modifiers" and use the whites on the alphanumeric.

Otherwise you'd either have to look around for the specific measurements of those keycaps and a set that has those same measurements.

razer is like apple, there key caps are weird as fuck. Might work with keys except the ones listed in @Heisenbleurgh

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
