And I tell you desoldering led off pcb is much more pain in a55 than switches...

Want act professional? Go for Topre then.

Last gen's Steelseries mice actually quite professional looks, nowadays more gaming looks.

Chinamen like to do that.

But also, you can't simply dye abs keycaps, normally ppl use white pbt.

Plum87 only red color backlit.

If want white I think should buy non-backlit version and mod it yourself.

Yup, plum87 is led ready. If it is similar to that on plum96 (which the holes are not presoldered), then it will be easier to mod than poker 2 since you simply need to instal the led, solder it on pcb and cut the excessive legs.

But I not too sure if you need to do some adjustment on the resistors if you were to install 3v LEDs.

Non

Don't have. Clear switch board very limited, almost no clear switch board with LED (by default or for mass market). May be you should ask CT and see if can order a Shine3 with clear switch.

Alternatively, may be you can get some of the following keyboards, some of them may be LED ready.

Yar, KBC/Vortex made boards like to tutup the holes one.

BTW, becareful when desoldering the presoldered copper plate, very easy to detach the copper plates if not done using suitable tools.

Not too sure on how does the wave soldering process is done.

But Plum can make their PCB with LED holes not soldered, so I guess it isn't too hard to do so?

Yup, the holes for LED are too small and really hard to cleanse off all the solder.

May be a proper desoldering iron will work better.

In my case, I had done some irreversible mistake on the PCB. The sucking of soldering gun actually recoiled and pushed the copper plate and a few of it detached off the PCB. I had then given up on trying to keep the damage minimum...

Theoretically, all can mod LED, but some is easy and some is real hard.

If you want got effect want, then wait no more, Ducky Shine 3 the best for you.

Effect can't mod.

Backlit keycaps are quite limited and inferior by nature. So most of us here will opt for either white thin pbt (so the backlit can shine through) or thick black/beige/white PBT so that the backlit will be blocked but instead being reflected through the plate, resulting an sleek underglow effect.

For K95, it is non-standard for spacebar and modifiers, and you will appreciate our suggestions in future for stay away from it when you plan to change the keycaps next time.
If you want a keyboard huge, you can get a fullsize filco (non-backlit though) and later get an aftermart SS7G style wrist rest for it from taobao.

+1,

seems like his priority for a new keyboard is XXXXXL footage, and the 1st board that came to my mind is the one above, LOL.

Get a dedicated numpad to be placed separately next to his fullsize 104 keyboard so he can use type numbers with both hands, LOL.

Taobao service to EM memang mahal glia mia.

Want backlit probably shine3. If not available, try the code by wasd.

If non-bl easy settle, filco the safest and best choice.
