Is there any manufacturer that produces doubleshot keycaps with transparent fill?
This is how my keyboard looks like (I don't know about modifier lengths)

I believe Vortex is making some.
They are also PBT

the GH cherry replica was doubleshot polycarb if i recall correctly

i dunno if polycarb translucent mods made the order list
you can buy the set from tech keys, but white on orange is normal doubleshot and not translucent.

Is there a set which contains fully translucent doubleshot keycap?

ducky has ABS shine sets that are translucent.

spacebar maybe a problem, i dunno if your keyboard uses a universal spacebar spacing
-
That keyboard does look very strange as well, but I would assume that the spacebar uses the same spacing as every other ANSI keyboard... if all 7 of those mods on the bottom are 1.25x, math says that the spacebar must be 6.25

i should clarify, i meant the stabilizer spacing on the spacebar

Only ABS, no pbt?

not that im aware of.
backlit caps aren't that common to begin with besides standard OEM ones.
-
Since my post has next to no replies *sigh* Has anyone used PBT etched caps on a keyboard with backlighting ? Is the the lettering legible ?
-
there are some option for you:
- MaxKeyboard Black Bird
- SP Cherry Replicate set
- some Déck keyboard
- Vortex set
those of Déck and Vortex are PBT, Déck uses their fugly font and Vortex uses Cherry-like one, but with fugly center alignment

no separate keycap available for sale?

not really, its etched on the surface, so there's really nothing letting the light through

the Skidata set from GMK/Cherry is somewhat campatible with backlight

Vortex doubleshot PBT with POM legends:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61149.0
There is an active interest check for them, so join in if you are interested:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61896.0
Not sure the final quality, but they will be the best backlit keycaps available anytime soon I think. Unless GMK starts to make some doubleshots with POM legends. That would be incredible.

You can find the Cherry replicate set on the classified, and the Vortex set, there's a IC for it now

GMK is only doing ABS so their backlit solution is most likely the same as SP, using PC, in fact they already can do it (technically their windowed keycaps are the double-shot one with PC legend-the window) look at the C keycaps

GMK can do clear plastic as the legend, yes. Not tinted clear, just... clear.
The issue is that some colors have a little bleed, such as red, white, and probably a few more. It just depends on which color/profile it it.
I kinda like the way it looks, but I don't have the time to run a GB.
