Don't know if PBT changes much, but it would probably look like a PLU ML-87 seen here: http://geekhack.org/showpost.php?p=277467&postcount=7

Thanks, although the linked photo seem taken with a lot of direct light, so I think that don't give the right idea.

I'm sure that some other shots are "hidden" in this forum.

I found this pic in a Poker review by Sixty at deskthority.net

That should be a Cherry Corp PBT key. Those are really thick, so a thinner white one(like those you can get from imsto) should be more see-through.

My white ABS Ducky scroll lock key has a glow pattern identical to that SP key pictured above.  Not sure about the PBT, though.
Keyboards:
Filco 104 MX Brown (Otaku) - FKBN104M/NPEK 黒い空
Ducky TKL MX Brown/Blue 80% (White) - 1087-F 白の空
KBC Poker MX Red with PBT Key Caps - PFCN6000

Yes, I later corrected it a few posts later though... or maybe in some other topic.. or I should have... either that or I told laden by PM. Anyway, key is PBT, sublimation dyed. Does not matter though on this topic. The ABS ones are the same results with LEDs :D
