Like the title says, I am looking for shine though PBT's for a custom TSANGAN layout (pictured below).
Does anyone know of any that exist or where I might be able to have them made?

That's a tough one, haven't seen any shine throughs with 7u
-
The 7U and the 1.5U backspace have been the hard ones for me. I can pretty much find everything else.
The other options would be going ABS, but still have not seen anything shine through there. Or, I could do PBT dye-subs and just have an under glow from the keycaps. Not really a fan of either of them though.

Spacebar isn't shine trough anyway, so you can buy it elsewhere.

for the spacebar, you can probably just use a blank 7u bar, for backspace, its not common enough for any shinethrough to be really made so you would likely just use a normal pbt/abs or deal with wrong legends with a normal 1.5u pipe

My OCD would drive me mad if they were not all part of a set. I might just to go with some dye-sub pbt caps that I can order different variants of.
I was looking at a set earlier. Would be a shame to not have the RGB shine through, but it might look cool with some key cap underglow.

It will be a bit more expensive, but I think I am going to go with "Ice Caps" until I can locate this unicorn of a keycap setup.
