Would it be possible to do a backlit set this way? Perhaps a pudding-like translucent one. That would remove the need for the "stencil font" compromise that many double-shot versions use. Or is the work not worth the tradeoff versus doing a high-quality double-shot set?

Kenshiro70Not exactly. PBT is not translucent. What you can do though is add Glow-in-the-dark dye to make the PBT plastic glow from LEDs. Combine with a dark reverse dye-sub, you can get glowing legends like on KAT Cyberspace. DSA Minuteman is an example where the whole PBT cap glows.

With Wooting at the forefront and seemingly the best implementation of Hall Effect technology, many other brands seem to be playing catch-up. We’ve seen releases like the RAKKA, BOOG75, DrunkDeer, and MOD007 HE start to stir up competition. But do you need another keyboard? Is this one going to be the end all be all for you? Is HE Endgame? If you’re like me, a keyboard enthusiast, your answers will probably be: no(yes), no, and no. Do I think that an HE board deserves a spot in your collection? Maybe… Let’s dive into the latest technological update to mechanical switches in a long time, and you can make that decision for yourself. First, we need to know...

Drop Mech Keys Meetup - Video Recap
We hosted our first mech keys meetup in years about a month ago (see here for a photo recap). Our team was furiously videoing everything during the event, and posted a bunch of shorts/reels to socials since then. Now they've compiled an excellent recap video showcasing the event. Grab a coffee, sit back, and enjoy the meetup. :) We'll see you at the next one! 🫡
