Hello, I've had my backlit Pok3r three for awhile now and have been loving it. While the default keycaps don't really bother me I am still looking for something higher quality than the ABS caps it comes with. I've done some browsing around the internet and have yet to find anything that will work for what I want. Ideally I'd like a dark blue PBT set with translucent legends. If I had known it would be this hard to find good sets with translucent  legends I think I would have opted for the non backlit version. Anyway if any of you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated, thanks :)

Backlit with thick pbt's give off a glow, kind of nice if you don't mind not having trans legends :D
Such artisan, many caps, very keyboard.

Always searching for Bro caps!

Also, if you are brave enough to dye your caps, you can get white vortex doubleshot translucent keycaps and dye them blue!

Hmm that's good to know maybe I'll look into that. I don't mind not having the legends as long as I'm utilizing that back lighting. Also dying the translucent white vortex keycaps sounds like a good idea. How hard do you think that would be?

One set I have been looking at is the midnight keycap set. http://pimpmykeyboard.com/dcs-midnight-keycap-set/ it actually seems to work pretty well with backlit boards

Heres a link to someone dyeing the caps. From a quick glance, it's not too hard

Here's a DIY (do it yourself) on how to dye keycaps

Also, the midnight keycap is a great set if you wanna stray away from blue

Thanks for the links! :) and yea the midnight set is pretty nice I may stray away from the blue for that instead. I still want to see about dying a set
