No one currently makes shine-through ASA (or any SA variant) profile keycaps, partly due to the fact that current trends for mid-to-high end keyboards favor south-facing LEDs; the theory (I guess) being that since south facing is pointed toward your face instead of away from it, it’s better. But HOW is it better if there are no key caps for them to shine through?! Front-printed caps are gaining in popularity, but so far I have only seen them in OEM or Cherry profile. OEM is tolerable, but I don’t want to spend money on something mediocre, and I cant stand stubby little cherries. I see zero reason why we could not have SA profile caps with the shine through legends (the letters and symbols) on the “Bottom” of the keys, or even the front frankly. I am not the only one looking for a product like this.

Same! I think I’ll end up getting some front-facing shine thru caps as a last resort.
I reached the same conclusion, I just really don’t want to have to get OEM
