If they are not shine through keycaps, then no, you will not see them in the dark, or at best... see them with difficulty.

This is not a preaching post, or some kind of elitist thing before anyone suggests it, but have you considered learning to touchtype? While it takes a while to learn, it's not actually difficult, and once you can, not only do you have the advantage of not needing to look at the keyboard, but typing becomes an absolute pleasure, and when you do make typos, you notice in real time, so you never have to spend time proofing what you have just written.

Head on over to r/typing and get some advice on the best ways to learn. Be warned though.. it can be addictive, and you may well spend lots of time in Monkeytype chasing speed and accuracy goals :)

If that doesn't appeal to you, then you need to start looking for some shine through keycaps.

Ok, thank you for the tip, but if somebody know how to touchtype for what does the keyboard need backlight? is a serious question, what is the use case?

Well... for those that can't touchtype :) Also, people just like the way it looks I suppose. This is why custom boards that don't have shine through legends still have RGB. I don't look at my keyboard to type though, so even if my legends did light up I still wouldn't be looking at them.

It's about the same as any other non-shine-through keycap, but NuPhy does sell shine through keycaps on their website.
