Those Varmilo Mint key caps would go nice with Gateron LED switches

It would negate some of that top/bottom two tonism when backlit...as seen in this video.

Definitely on my wish list :)

Shame they didn't make the tops thicker so they didn't bleed, would have looked even better with just the glowing skirts on the three visible sides.

Clear switch tops should fix that too though :)

You could colour the underside of the keycaps black.

Or someone here stuck silver tape under each keycap in a set.  Excruciatingly tedious job, but very well done and the results are fantastic!

Are these Side printed keycaps better than Vortex?

Sorry, I don't know, I don't own a Vortex keycaps set and all I can say that I don't like white and black keycaps/sets very much.

Some pictures of the Varmilo Mint sets.

Pictures of my Leopold FC660M with the Varmillo Mint Green caps (no logo on the spacebar) to show the thickness of the cap. This is my daily driver for 8 months now, no shine, no wear on the caps whatsoever. Very decent caps.

Oh man, this makes me wish the drop on the Varmilo VA87MR would hurry up! I ordered mine with the white/mint caps.  :thumb:
