Does anyone make a PBT Backlit set that doesn't have the breaks in the legend text, like on the B and D keys?

crayonIt's rather difficult to do, mainly because with doubleshot molds, you generally need a plastic bridge between "islands" in those letters, otherwise they'll go off and float on their own. I think I've seen some that have the bridge going back down into the key to avoid the legend breaks, but none were backlit, and I imagine that doing so would mess with the backlighting.

crayonAlso these two sets seem to fit the description:
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/backlit-doubleshot-pbt-keycap-set https://www.massdrop.com/buy/backlit-doubleshot-gradient-pbt-keycap-set
If memory serves I've seen both of these dropped multiple times, so in all likelihood they'll be dropped again at some point.

crayonMy original k-type keys don't have breaks. Was wondering why the pictures of these Vortex ones do.
