I talk like an expert but I’ve only done one build and originally I wanted shine through too. I utterly agree that more shine through should be a more abundant option. I almost settled with the keycaps that came with my Keychron C1, so maybe you should buy those since they do sell them separately if you’re not satisfied with these.

Who would have thought that it would take teo years to get it. I‘m very happy with the look.

Yeah, trying to find a good set of shine through caps that fit this board and aren't just all black has been tough. I'm no touch typist and I generally game in the dark, so for me they are a necessity. I know they aren't terribly popular in the keyboard community.

I think the color scheme of the keycaps are fine but something about them bothers me. Like the letters aren’t all centered or spaced out correctly, but maybe that’s bc they’re shine through and the light is messin with my eyes. Otherwise, pretty slick! Not bad for first time

So, this is a drop Shift with Cerulean switches, Durock V2 plate mounted stabs, keycaps (that don't really fit) are Wild 122 from YMDK on amazon, and a Mechcables classic straight cable in graphite gray with carbon techflex sleeve. And stupidfish foam.
