Question About Ducky Keycaps
« on: Thu, 17 April 2014, 16:50:58 »
Just a quick question, I'm planning on building a phantom keyboard this summer and was looking at keycaps. I fell in love with the Ducky Purple keycaps but i was wondering if anyone has any input on how visible the letters are without backing lighting, or does anyone have any other suggestions for dark purple keycaps?
Thanks!

this makes me wonder what SP SA profile caps would look like with LEDs.  I dont think much or any of the light would bleed through.

I can tell you that these keys show 0 light through anywhere other than the cut-outs for the LED and around the base. These are white LEDs on the brightest setting.
