I am interested in building a backlit keyboard from Samwisekoi's GH36 project.

That project has located LED pads on the bottom, so a backlit keyboard is best served by having any of the following:

Side Printed Backlit Keycaps eg from Cooler Master's QuickFire Rapid-Si

Side print White on Black PBT doubleshots, since the light can shine through the white legends

bottom print backlit keycaps like the KBT Pure Pro (did I get that name right?), where the legend is on the bottom rather than the top.


I prefer the PBT doubleshots, and will pay less for the CM keycaps since I like neither the font nor the quality
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.
