pretty sure it will....kc PBT is quite thin...even vortex PBT has bleed like that. Only thick Cherry caps have I seen only underglow

I want to have a backlit keyboard with rainbow keycaps, will it look like the pic ??, or is that for illustration purposes), I am not convinced if I buy rainbow keycaps they will be that transparent and show that much light

Wish they made backlit rainbow keycap board.

I'm getting it, the only downside is you have to buy both the keys and the board, but oh well.


That's a nice Polar BTW,

How about the 2nd gen vortex doubleshots? Are they thicker or same thickness as the original ones?
