Question On Current Massdrop PBT keycaps
« on: Sat, 10 June 2017, 15:19:32 »
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/blank-pbt-keycaps?mode=guest_open&utm_campaign=Drop%3A%20FOMO%20%28New%29&utm_source=SparkPost&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Drop%3A%20FOMO%20%28New%29&utm_content=1497121577622.973706387279948722693448&referer=ZUPW9Z

Does anyone know if:
1) These are double shot PBT key caps?
2) Is the lettering see through for color ids?
3) How well the LEDS will glow through the keycaps?
3) Is this colored plastic or painted?
4) Would led's shine through as the plastic and lettering as good as the image I attached?

No, there is a option for the set to have letters when I buy them...I think... 'You'll also have the option to add an ISO-compatibility pack containing R3 1u, R4 1.25u, R4 1u, and large Enter (+ $3)'

That add-on pack just contains additional cap sizes for an ISO keyboard. The keycaps are all blank.

I can't believe I missed that one. Is laser etched bad or good? I am hoping for led to shine through.

You're not going to get good shine through with laser etched + PBT.
