PBT keycaps with LED covered with LED cover
« on: Thu, 08 May 2014, 22:17:32 »
Hi guys,

(first of all, I'm sorry if I've posted in the wrong section)

To those who have LED backlit keyboards and currently using LED cover, when you guys are using non shinethrough PBT keycaps, will the glow around the keycap be any bright?

Pictures will be appreciated :3

What is an LED cover? Serious question.

Thanks. I just bought a set. I'll let you know in 5-20 days as I have black PBTs and white backlight.

They shine through pretty well if the PBT cap is a lighter color.

See:


The top row on either side of the backspace is white PBT caps. The glow around them is no different than the glow around the other caps.

Where did you get those PBT keycaps for the vortex race?

The bottom keycaps, the ones with text, are ABS. I was referring to the top row (was being lazy, grabbed the first picture I got) where I'm using custom R4 pad printed thin PBT white caps in lieu of my number row. Hence the comment, to the left and right of the backspace. It's a little deceiving, I apologize for that.
