I believe that there is a real lack of offerings for backlit PBT keycaps at an affordable price. The best options right now are the Matrix Keyboards keycap sets, but these are far too flashy for me. For this reason, I have started looking into manufacturing double shot backlit PBT keycaps sets.
I believe that it is possible to produce a double shot PBT keycap set with backlit lettering and closed letters in cherry profile at a price point below $60 per set.
I have come up with three options. Which do you prefer?

  1. all the keycaps required to make a dual tone keycap set. A full set of the first color and a second one in a second color for a price around $80.
  2. One dual tone keycap set with the choice of main and modifier colors, priced at $60 or less.
  3. A keycap set with only one custom color, priced around $40.
    The color scheme I was thinking about is yellow (gold) and blue, or blue and dark grey. If we went with only a one-color keycap set, I would like to do it in blue.
