 do i need specific translucent kind to support the backlit rgb?

would love a really subtle matte black set 
 yes but usually the labels of the keys are translucent and let the light through, lighting up the label of the key, and then giving a glow around the key caps. I think you would verify that with the custom key cap order  
 that should be the default is what I am saying
