Hi, I am pretty new to mechanical keyboards and have a lowprofile keyboard from keychron. Overall I would say I am pretty happy. The only problem is that I have rgb, but can see it because the keycaps have no transparent section. How would I go on, in finding other keycaps with transparent sections and don't buy wish quality crap that will feel horrible.

You'll need to find what switches are being used then find keycaps that match. Eg low-profile gateron keycaps. Low-profile switches aren't standardised like normal-height keyswitches are so you'll need to be more specific in your search and you'll have to make do with less options.
