If you’re willing to try out a cheapo “amazon-special” set to test looks you could try these. I’ve had good experiences with these knock-off sets; I totally get the super high quality cap sets and I support their designers but I can never justify their cost to me when I could get 5 sets of these to replace any legends that get rubbed off for the same price as a legit set. I hate to take that stance, even, but I usually want the color-way more to match my setup more than I care about the quality of the caps tbh.

You seem to be missing a few keys

How do you feel about a little mix-and-match?
Tai-Hao White Legends on Red Caps
Tai-Hao Black Legends on White Caps
Tai-Hao Black+Red takes care of your red-on-black mods
Looks like all of that will run you about $100. Heck, send me the leftovers and I’ll split it with you. That’s a nice color set 🙂
​
Other stuff I found as I was searching…
WASD: Custom Keycap and Mod Packs for the white-on-red and black-on-white (lots of cap colors, not a lot of legend colors)
Tai-Hao: Dark Blood should take care of the mods
Tai-Hao: Red on White & Grey in case that looks like a good alternative
Tai-Hao: red & white backlit
Cheap Amazon Backlit caps will take care of the alphas and reds if you’re ok with backlighting (though I imagine that would suck unless you go with backlit blacks instead of red-on-black)

Right now there aren’t a lot of good options. There’s a set on KBDFANS, but the reviews aren’t good. You could try a white extended set like this, but the legends will be dimmer. Dark caps will be a lot dimmer. White pudding or color pudding caps are an option and you can get those anywhere, just make sure you get the extended set with the short space key and 1u bottom right modifiers. Iadabo has these.
Your best bet right now might be just to get a nice set of non-shinethrough caps until companies start making sets for south-facing LEDs.

This was a single set, and was surprisingly cheap, at $30 for the set. I’m no expert on mechanical keyboards, but these look and feel great, especially for the price. It was shipped from Shenzhen though, and took from November 11 to December 5 to be delivered.

Good choice, I love mine!

What caps did you get? I ended up scooping these off Amazon and am up in the air right now. They definitely don’t feel nearly as nice as the originals and a few sizes are off (right Alt, Fn, Ctrl, Shift, 0). I’m going for a white/red or white/black look and might try some of the pudding keycaps next.

Definitely look in to a wrist rest BTW, they are pretty much mandatory for these boards but are so perfect with one.
