Hmm I was thinking that they were pad printed and they feel PBT esk. I dont see the in the Key reference wiki...

Aslo on a side not I can say the the PLU is 4KRO and sometime higher I think it depends on the columns as it has trouble with keys on the same side of the board

According to the China owners, PLU 87(white color) is ABS. Do note that the keyboard also having no R1 profile, being replaced by R2, LOL...

I'm going to be very interested to see a death match between the PLU and CM Storm


Nope, the latest product from China is Keycool, which cost at around 60USD in China and is alike Leopold clone(where exterior and the spacebar uniqueness).

p/s: I don't come from China, I just do visit their market(Taobao) and forum.

Interesting I did notice that either way I like the feel and the look better than the Leopolds.
