Title: Any backlight friendly PBT keys (ala Deck)?
Post by: afruff23 on Mon, 27 January 2014, 15:15:51

I own the Ducky Shine 3 yellow edition with engraved PBT keycaps. They're hard to read in a well-lit room without focusing in on my keyboard.

I'm looking for a keycap set that meets all of the following criteria:

• All PBT material
• Predominately black color
• Translucent/semi-translucent legends that are lighter in color than the black keys themselves (preferably yellow but white or gray is fine)
• Top print (preferred) or side print
• A normal looking font (e.g. not the Deck font or weird italics Vortex font)

Does anything like this exist? Are there any plans for this to exist? Are there any group buys for something like this?

The only source for these kind of PBT doubleshots is the one that makes the Deck and Vortex PBT doubleshots... so until another font is available they do not exist.
