Question; will light shine through white PBT keys?

[poprocks]

So a few days ago I recievedmy Duckyshine II 9008, the moment I got it hit me that this keyboard needed to have clean white keys on it so I ordered white on white PBT keys.

My question, does anyone know if the back lighting on my keyboard would actually shine through the white lettering on the keys?

If not my second question would be, does anyone know where one would purchase replacement keys that would allow light to pass through the lettering.

If they're thin, they'll probably shine through, not just the legends, but the whole cap, which you'll mist likely see the most at the place were the LED is. There are some sets on that same site, they're called Ducky Shine sets. They come in grey, black, and purple, and have clear legends for letting light through.

You are intelligent sir. Thank you, I should have found those myself. Shame on me.

Now I must decide how badly I want white keycaps. To sacrifice the legend backlighting or not! that is the question!

The Vortex white keycaps backlight really well.  Here is a picture of my Race with those keycaps and full backlighting.
