 I don't need the lettering on this small board and it let's the RGB through very nicely. If you get keycaps with labels
 you might want to pick a profile like DSA where every key fits in every row. That makes it easier to find a set where
 the labels match your keys position. Lastly I used Durock v2 stabilizers. They come in nice colors and work really well.

 If you've never done that before, try with some other components where you have spares. It's good to get a feeling for
 when the solder melts before doing sensitive stuff.
