Hey everybody! I am just starting out in mechanical keyboards and I can easily see how one can become obsessed! I recently bought a Ducky Shine 3, which will be my first mechanical keyboard (once it is shipped to me), and I am already trying to research for some new keycaps. I have already made a list of other keyboards that I want, so i can see that this may be a dangerous hobby for me
Not to end my intro post with a question, but does anybody have recommendations for a TKL keyset for backlit boards? I have been having a bit of trouble tracking one down, other than for replacement sets.
Thanks and Hello again!

Hi and welcome to GH!
Yes, it is a dangerous hobby so watch your wallet.
I have some Ducky k- boards, 1 Ducky One RGB YOTG, 1 pink Ducky One and some Ducky Shine 2/3/4. But I don't like the "Bigfoot" design on the Shine 4/5 RGB, Shine 3 and Ducky One looks much better.
Remember that the Ducky Shine 3 k - boards was/is a 87/108 (88/109 if it is a ISO/Nordic/UK layout board) keys, a lots of keycaps sets are only 104 keys.
One question, is the Ducky Shine 3 board you bought a TKL or a fullsize?
My ISO/Nordic Ducky Shine 3 YYY TKL.
My ANSI Ducky One RGB YOTG.
Edit: You check out Aliexpress, there is some (not so good?) Backlit keycaps sets, most of the sets are 37/104 keys but read the text carefully so you don't buy k - board, the info on Aliexpress is not so good sometimes.
You want a Backlit keycaps set like this (not that color)?
My ISO/Nordic Ducky Shine 2.
Sorry for the bad pictures.
