I kinda want to advise against these.
I got the side printed ones a few months back and they're already starting to fade, on a side printed one. Haven't even washed the caps only used compressed air

Thanks.

Here you go, the g key is the worst one, notice how it greys out. The L key is there for comparison since it hasn't faded.

SpacePotatoBearI don't think it's faded, it's just that typically lasered legends get dirty easily.
Once they get dirty they get that faded look. It's common on laser etched keycaps.
This is why I got blanks. :)
This is also why some people prefer double shot or dye sub keycaps o the legends will never fade/get dirty.

HydeI wanted blanks but just decided on front print since I'm not a great touch typist. I joined the drop for the key cool rainbow front print pbt as well.
