Pure Replacement Keycaps
« on: Mon, 17 June 2013, 22:51:21 »
Has anyone used these for a backlit Pure?  Do they permit the light to get through so that you can read the legends?

I highly doubt that they will. PBT doesn't let light through very well.

Generally the backlight compatible keycaps are ABS and have a specific printing method to be used successfully with backlighting. e.g. the keycap plastic is actually white/clear and it has a special black layer on the top of the keycap - minus the legends.
