Looking for keycaps that you can actually see what key they are with backlight (slrpnk.net)

I did not realize the keys were solid until power went out the other day.

Does Keychron sell full sets of keys that you can actually see which key is which via the backlight? If Keychron does not who does? Preferably keycaps that feel the same as Keychron's do. I have a K10 Max and a K1 Max QMK.

They're usually called "Shine Through" as far as I know. Here are some from Keychron. Some are named explicitly shine through while others are not. The filter should be trustworthy though.

    Note on the Cherry Profile Double-Shot PBT Shine-Through Keycap Set: “The legends are printed on the top center of the keycaps, If your keyboard features south-facing LEDs, this will significantly reduce the shine-through effect.”

    I've been pretty happy with the doubleshot pudding keycaps from steel series, would those work? Mine are white but I think they come in black too

    Not familiar with these. I went from a Corsair keyboard to the Keychrons. Still new to the mechanical keyboard world.

    I'm not that advanced either, I used a Das Keyboard for like a decade before I made mine, and even that was a prebuilt with minimal mods.

    Wish I had more suggestions, I've never tried a keychron. How are you finding it?

    I got a low profile to use as a portable keyboard to go with my Steam Deck and liked it so much that I finally got rid of my Corsair that I held onto for far too long and replaced it with a 96% Keychron.

    They feel so smooth while typing. If/when I have to replace these two I more than likely will get another Keychron.
