Enjoy it as it is for a few weeks to let yourself become accustomed to it.

As for backlight-friendly keycap sets, there are not many of those around, mainly those made by Ducky which you can pick up from a few places.

For non-backlight-friendly keycaps, the Ducky has a standard layout so almost any standard set should fit.

Those ones will give you a different look to the standard Ducky keycaps.

Instead of each letter lighting up when the backlighting is on, the legends are printed on the side of the keycaps, and the backlighting just makes the top of the key glow a bit.

You could try to find a different colored set of backlit keys

What do you mean? The colour usually comes from the LEDs.

There are coloured transparent keycaps though. There are also opaque keycaps but that are not very thick, so the light shows through them anyway (but you get to see the struts inside)
You could use different colours of such keycaps on the board if it has white backlighting.

Or, with white LEDs (mainly), you can get small plastic caps that fit over the LEDs under the keycaps to change the colours that shine through.

Get a Snake keycap from geekfeng ! LOL
since Shine3 kinda symbolises Year of the snake.  :))


Or maybe, get a set of PBT DoubleShot keycaps. Looks pretty awesome i reckon.
