Do you like the legends ?

Another backlight-friendly PBT set!

Being in the UK you're lucky you got an ANSI layout keyboard.  Many of the cheaper sets do not fit ISO keyboards.

I do like the legends, easy to read, plenty of light coming through, feels good to my fingertips.

I actually got the Ducky while I was in HK for much cheaper than the UK prices. I don't mind the ANSI layout, only thing I had to do was setup a custom keyboard in Windows to swap the $ to £.

ANSI does make it considerably easier to find replacement keycaps!

And kudos for saving money while travelling :)

Yeah I'm used to it already. I'm deciding what colour to paint the frame in now, black frame don't seem to go so well with the light coloured keys.

That looks great! Would you mind posting the link to where you bought it from aliexpress? I've found similar ones but not that exact one.

My friend has been looking for doubleshot pbt backlit in white and I thought Vortex was the only guys you could get it from around here.

Message the seller if you want a customised layout. They charge an extra 10USD but it still isn't that expensive.

Those remind me of QFR caps. They look good on your board, congrats!
