Cherry MX keycap sets

Are any of the OcUK one's translucent? Never sure, I read the mx keycaps are usually semi translucent and the double shot abs usually means a colour over a clear coat?

Need a full UK ISO set for a project, if those blues will work with a backlight that's a winner.

The blue, red, and white double shot abs keycaps aren't designed for backlit keyboards. I have the blue set on one of my keyboards; all you'll see is a tiny bit of light leaking out from underneath the keycap. Unfortunately i don't believe any of the keycaps OC sell are meant for backlit keyboards.

I think OC could make a killing by offering a proper, decent array of keycaps for British keyboard enthusiasts. There's very little available in the British keycap market, whereas in North America there's a plethora of retailers and communities for mechanical keyboard customisation. I'm considering just buying an American layout keyboard for that reason.

Agreed. There seems to be quite a bit of difficulty getting UK layout keycap sets.

PBT+POM seems to be about the best looking cap that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to manufacture.

shame that blue set doesn't backlight, I guess the hunt continues

I agree with this. A good solid range of keycaps would be fantastic. And by that I mean a variety
