SOLD
Up for sale is this (http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/item/pbt-key-caps-87-104-full-set/104-pbt-rainbow-key-caps-engra/lid=30529650) 104-key PBT rainbow set. It's practically new, very light usage and no visible wear. Asking $60 shipped. I also put a few of the caps on my Race w/ white LEDs to show what it would look like on a backlit keyboard, both with normal office lighting and low-lighting.

Whoa cool. I didn't think LED lights would shine through PBT caps like that. Too bad they aren't aligned like the stock keys, but most keyboards aren't backlit anyway.
GLWS!

Not quite sure what you meant by that. Did you mean with the primary legend at the top of the key? Several backlit keyboards have the switches rotated so the LED is at the bottom of the key cap anyway, so that would work out pretty well.
-
do you have pictures that all of the rainbow keycaps put in your race? did other keycaps glow as well?
-
No, I don't. I didn't feel like swapping out the keys twice just for that. :) I don't see why any of the other key caps wouldn't glow, the caps I picked were some of the darkest in the set.

Stupid forum won't let me report the same post more than once. :P Yah, it looks pretty bad in that pic, but it's not even noticeable on the keyboard.
