Hello Geekhack,
A while back I did a backlit led mod on my Poker II with Tex aluminum case. Pictures from last time can be seen here:

While I really liked the stock keycaps (because it's thick PBT and it feels nice and I also likes the grey color) I always wanted to try white backlit keycaps on it.
So I went ahead and ordered some white backlit keycaps through Taobao:
Excuse my semi-potato pics, I'll take better pictures when there's better lighting (now it's too grainy).
While this looks really nice, I think I like the feel of the thick PBT keycaps a little bit better initially. Though after 2-3 days I think now I'm getting used to it so I'm actually not sure which I like better anymore LOL.
At this point it just feels "different" instead of which is better.
Look wise, I also thought I'd like the white look better initially but now that I look at it the grey keycaps is actually not bad either even though most people frown upon the "stock" keycaps. I also find that blue led really hurts my eyes even though I like blue, but to be honest red, green, orange, yellow, or even pink are much more soothing led colors.
I might give it a week before I give my full judgement. But now I'm just wondering if anyone else ran into similar situation as me before?
