No. Just the thinner kind. Still thicker than the stock caps :)

Got a pal with the Keycool variation that came with rainbow caps, the only problem is they look like candy and definitely very tasty in appearance, ...... must not eat.... must not eat :)

They would. I think only double-shot PBT wont shine through.

Where'd you pick these up? For some reason all the rainbow caps I've seen are sideprinted and ABS.

Hi n0rdlad
I tried some of my friends caps on my Keycool 87II which has purpble lighting, and yes you get light through although it's uneven and the stem and strengthening bits are darker, often looks like the back half of the switch is brighter, not bad looking but not designed for backlighting.

Hope this helps, if you need a picture I still have his Red ESC on my board so will take one when I get home :)

Thanks for the video, yes that turned out as expected, there are thicker areas on the PBT's that don't let light through.
It does look incredibly cool.
