Hey everyone, I am wondering where I can get good quality keycaps (hopefully custom colours) that allows my backlight to shine through? Or should I just go for normal keycaps and have the lighting as an underglow? Thanks everyone!

I have MAX transparent keycaps on my K90 and they look damn good, sorry i don't have any pics, not at home right now.

They look normal without a backlight, but when you turn it on they become clear.

You can't swap out some of the crappy ABS keys because of the non standard layout.

 

Just so you know

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

I just got double shot pbt key caps off of Massdrop and I can say that they are best that I have had so far.  Some of the functions for example the square brackets [] don't light up but I like key caps that don't wear out.  Also look and feel nice instead of slimy like other brand of key caps aka (max keyboard) after 4 months.  I really recommend them and they are only $40 CAD.

Vortex Backlit Double Shot PBT Keycaps. I got them. Will never go back to ABS keycaps if I have the choice.

No.. Not for backlit keys. The lettering on my keys for my Code v2 are rubbing off revealing little holes of light, and destroying the a and d key... :(
