Nowhere, unfortunately. Signature Plastics is currently unable to make the G20 keycaps backlit.

Have you seen the caps on the cherry mx 6.0 board?

You can get an idea looking at the photos in these two reviews

those have the same tapered edges all thats different is the top part is inclined, id like something more cubic in shape so that there is less of a gap between keys
