Hello. I will be getting the CM Storm Quickfire TK Mechanical Keyboard soon, and i was wondering if replacement keycaps such as these:

would allow the backlight to shine through. Do backlit keyboards have special semi-translucent keycaps to allow the backlight to light up the letters on the keys, or will it still shine through regular keycaps?

p.s. I know the above set would not match all of the keycaps on the TK but I am just using them as an example for generic replacement keycaps

You can get replacement key caps that will allow the light to shine though (yes it's semi-translucent) but I do not think the ones you linked will. Is there a reason you want different caps?

I have just been wondering this for a while and if a do decide to get replacement ones it would mainly be for aesthetic reasons. Thanks for the help.
