Hi

I'm doing my first mechanical keyboard, i will be using the GMMK US layout TLK here; https://www.pcgamingrace.com/products/gmmk-tkl-tenkeyless-customized

I bought CherryMX silvers, but now I need keycaps. Because I'm from England I wanted to buy from a UK site so I don't spend $40 on shipping for only $30 keycaps
I wanted black PBT doubleshot keycaps and narrowed it down to these two;
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/tai-hao-pbt-double-shot-keycaps-black-on-black-iso-ansi-layout-kb-011-ta.html
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ducky-pbt-backlit-keycaps-for-cherry-mx-switches-uk-iso-qwerty-black-kb-23m-dk.html

Although I will take recommendations if anybody has any (But I only want black/dark PBT doubleshots)

The question is though, will these caps work on my GMMK US layout? i looked at the pictures and they're confusing, they have extra enter caps and say ANSI/ISO but I'm worried about buying them and having to send them back so if anybody could ease my mind I will really appreciate it!

The first one will fit. Not so sure about the second.

Hi, thanks for letting me know. I'm not sure either. They also sort of look grey to me, I think these ones are the same but black; https://shop.tai-hao.com/products/-pbt-104-c02bc201
I assume these will fit too?
Would you happen to have any idea if any light will be visible under the board with these keycaps?

They look compatible as well.

 

The letters wont light up, but the spaces between the caps should.  Although maybe not with some switches. Did you get black housing switches or are they transparent?
