South facing LEDs shine through keycaps in 2024?

Currently I have a gray pbt set from amazon on the main keys, then the numpad and vertical keys (del/ins/home/end) and the top 3 macros (now pgup/pgdn and a star looking thing for macro) are all from the MOA set below:

Prior to that, I’d bought a key with a skull that was about the same height as the top row, put that in for DEL, but ins/hom/end were all wonky heights. I May change out the numpad to match the rest of the keyboard, so only the vertical row and macros are purple MOA, which I think will look fine, especially how desaturated the purple is on that set.

I’ll be switching switches to try out the um, yellow softer-force magnetic switches as soon as they arrive, will swap caps then. I’m awaiting them from keychron now.

IF I were to do this all again i’d just go ten-keyless (TKL) or a full keyboard. Those vertical keys have been a major pain all to save like 1.5" lol. I don’t actually USE the dang numpad either, just One game I haven’t played in a year or so has One task for them, setting a static speed, that I don’t even really need to do…
