Replacement stabilizers are also provided in the box for both mechanical and optical switches. Inside the box there are 128 Phantom keycaps some of which are there for compatibility with all US and UK keyboard layouts. However, it’s blaringly obvious that the white expose much more light than it’s black counterpart. Unlike the black option, when holding the white keycap in hand the top half gives a translucent appearance and the transparent bottom doesn’t quite appear… transparent.īoth the white and black versions have the same texture and feel. Though, due to the dark plastic, they really don’t provide too much more light exposure than a standard keycap. The bottom half of the keycap has dark translucent sides. When holding the black version in hand the top half of the keycap looks like a standard non-transparent keycap.
