No, I think they’re going for an as gaudy look as possible so they’re all obnoxiously shiny. Like, you haven’t seen a Mexican drugs dealer with a gun that’s anything other than polished gold, have you? Same applies here.

Maybe you can get the silver one for a more subdued look? https://www.amazon.com/Element-Translucent-Backlit-Mechanical-Keyboards/dp/B06WGSZZT9/ref=sr_1_cc_3?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1519560546&sr=1-3-catcorr&keywords=PBT+metal+color

By the way, these won’t fully fit your Razer. The bottom row is different as the Razer has a nonstandard layout.

I’m looking into getting a Glorious modular keyboard once I decide which switch to go for (even though I may just end up getting another set too because it’s modular so why not) but I think I’d rather get the barebones version so I can get my own keycaps, so I’ve been looking into PBT backlit keycaps and have barely found anything. I know it’s a whole process and how they aren’t 100% PBT and I understand that, just looking for some options.

Seems like Vortex is pretty much the only choice right now for getting one in all black but I’ve read a few not great things about it – mostly just saying that the ones you get on AliExpress are much better for a similar price – but the AliExpress ones only come with mostly white with a few keys of either green, red, or blue (to be specific I’m talking about these ones).

I see some green ones and some white ones for cheap on banggood and I’m thinking about just getting the white set (or maybe these ones because I like the variety, just not sure if it’s worth 3x the price of these solid white ones), but if they made those simple ones in black that would be perfect. Does anyone have any experience with those 2 I just linked from banggood, or any suggestions for anything I might be overlooking? Should I just suck it up and get the white/blue ones from AliExpress, or are the banggood ones of similar quality? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

/edit: would something like this be terrible?

I’m looking for some backlit PBT keycaps to get for the Glorious Modular keyboard I’ll be getting once I decide what switches to get. These are the ones I’m considering so far:

Vortex – I like these but they are sold out
Banggood – these are cheap and seem fine but I’d much prefer them in black instead of white

AliExpress – I’ve read that these ones are good (even better than the Vortex) but from what I’ve seen they only come in white with green/red/blue accents on the modifier keys. I personally think that looks really cheesy, and if these ever came in just black I think they’d be perfect

Another AliExpress – I just found these ones and they got the color and material right but I’m not a huge fan of the font on them… (I’m picky, I know)

Amazon – I recently found these and they seem fine and even have decent reviews but based on the pictures they look… glossy? I dunno how to describe it but they just have a cheap look from the pictures (which I know isn’t the best way to judge) but I’m just a little skeptical of these ones.

Am I missing anything or are PBT backlit keycaps just really hard to find in black? I’d appreciate any advice or assistance with this, I’m almost thinking that it would be worth it to just pay the $20 extra to get the ABS ones that come with the Glorious until I find the perfect PBT ones but if I can find nice PBT ones before I order the board that would obviously be better.

Thanks in advance!
