Metal Keycaps (Mechanical) That Allow Backlight?

[WuMyster]

Is there such a thing at the moment?
OCUK sell your own metal keycaps, zinc i believe, but with my Ducky YOTS coming in, having metal keycaps would look beautiful with it, especially with the backlighting shining through.

Wouldnt want to take out one of the most important features to me. Anyone know of where I could get a set of metal keycaps thatll let the backlighting shine through?

There are no metal 'caps available that allow light to pass through them.

It's technically feasible to have the key-legend micro-laser-perforated through the keycap, in the same way that apple micro-laser through the Aluminium Chassis for their MBP's status LEDs, but I can't imagine how many hundreds you'd have to fork over to someone with an appropriately powerful yet also precise laser-cutter do do it for you.

Sorry

By Metal keycaps allowing light through. What I meant was metal keycaps that actually have the letters cut out and maybe a plastic put in, to allow the light to go through.
This does seem tricky and expensive though so Im guessing this doesnt exist either.
