Title: MAXKEY DOLCH SA Double shot ABS keycaps Translucent?
Post by: EJ42 on Wed, 13 September 2017, 15:44:26

This is probably a stupid question, but is the white ABS completely opaque on these?  If you put a bright LED under it, would it illuminate the lettering at all?

I really like how these keys look, but it would be nice if I could get a set like these that supported backlighting on the rare occasion that I'd like to turn it on.

This is me judging from my other double shot caps the answer is simply no! Double Shot cap wouldn't allow any light to pass because of the thickness of the layers! I know my Portland set by Maxkeys lets zero light thought. thought it does shine out from the bottom of the caps which gives a cool muted affect.
