I'm tempted to get the DS version to see if a UV LED underneath were able to excite it enough to show on the top side.

I can say that glow keys cost more than standard doubleshot keys

I have a prototype glow key with black dye sub.  The key lets light shine through very well.

That's about the ****tiest Halloween-esque type of font they could have used. No thanks, I'll just wait for Techkeys.

Wonder if could get away with having some keys made up with Crimson Ghost...

But it's only those 10 keys, right?

A 104 (or 87) set would be cool - a different look to a backlit board.

Yeah, curious how these look with a backlit board

And with different colour backlighting.  Green might be best (he said, typing on a Ducky Shine with green LEDs).

I'd assume it possible to do a "ghost" set with double-shot glow-in-the-dark legends and the same color plastic for the key.  So the fanciness only shows in the dark or when your hands are over the keys.  Would be magnificent.

I'd be interested in buying a few if a GB happened. Especially black on whites.

i agree, i experimented with this a little already but i'll have to do more work to get the colors right.
