Im looking to try out some xda keycaps, as i love how they look and also want to mess around with different keyboard layouts. what sets would yall reccomend? They must be 1. cheap (under $50, but lower is always better) and 2. Translucent symbols, as i want my backlight to shine through.

Also i think id prefer pbt to abs

thank you all :)

If you search aliexpress you'll find a ton of cheap XDA made with pbt - just be prepared to wait a long time for shipment.

you think they'll be the same quality as Amazon? aka mediocre at best

You did say cheap 😉
