I Think My Switch Is Stuck! - The Tale of Cherry MX Locks
Over the years of collecting mechanical keyboard switches, I’ve been lucky enough to have encountered dozens upon dozens of rare and unique ones that have stuck in my mind to this day. Prototypes, factory errors, and even a few switches so rare that there is literally zero documentation about them anywhere in the world all fill that personal list from top to bottom. However, I realize that talking about switches so far outside of most people’s reaches, and even sometimes my own grasp, doesn’t make for the most exciting of articles about switches. To this newest generation of keyboard enthusiasts, though, there is one pretty rare MX-style switch which has made its way to the top of everyone’s “must try” lists – Cherry MX Locks. These often undiscussed and even more rarely seen switches are something that few people have seen and even fewer have had the chance to try at a meetup before. However, the list of people who really know how these unique Cherry switches work is even shorter...

I've searched all over the place but I cannot find a set/combination that is both shine through and look like the factory set. Therefore I consulted a friend in the keycaps studio and he said making such a set is possible. The ideal result would be a shine through set which includes all the keys WhiteFox has, including the big Enter and the square/triangle/circle keys, and retains all the keys' height and fonts.
Now I'm posting to see how many of you are interested. If enough people are, we can create a drop. (I'm not sure how exactly polling/dropping works, but I assume this is a good place to post this.) Please reply with any question you have, and also reply if you are interested. As for whether or not my friend's studio is solid, I've attached a few pictures of their work.
