Backlit keycaps for Keychron K8 Pro or Q3 (lemmy.ml)

I'm considering getting a Keychron K8 Pro or Q3 keyboard, but the keycaps don't have backlit letters. Annoyed. Anyone got other recommendations for a bluetooth TKL mechanical keyboard with backlit keys?

Keycap interference on south-facing boards is only an issue with cherry profile caps, and an increasing amount of switches solve the issue with slightly changed housings or longer stems.

In other words, it might very well be a non-issue. And if your combo of caps and switches are problematic, you can always use tiny slips of paper in the stems of the switches, or o-rings.

I would agree that it's mostly a non issue in that sense. My main point was that it is difficult to find keyboards with nicer features/build quality that also happens to use north facing LEDs. Unless you can suggest a few?
