Title: New ducky double shot PBT
Post by: pixelpusher on Sat, 04 August 2018, 13:23:47
MK has a nice new colorway for preorder in double shot PBT.   Only standard compatibility.


I plan to get a set:

I wish ducky keycaps were thicker and they had more compatibility

My ducky caps are thicker than Gateron or GMK. They are the thickest keycaps I’ve ever owned

Maybe these double shot are thinner?  Not sure

Meh. I've listened to all the guys who said that pbt is better and doesn't shine and I've bought some sets. In my opinion, it feels dry and rough, it looks and feels bad and I can't stand it.

First time I got PBT, it did feel grainy initially.  After awhile that grainniness faded.  The caps don't shine as well.  Always hated that about ABS!!

I hate that ABS feels wet and smooth after a while. It looks great but feels bad. I can't stand it.

I like my keyboards like my girlfriends. Wet and smooth.

Jokes apart, it doesn't feel wet or greasy to me. It's simply smooth.

I like all kinds of textures. I don't mind ABS on GMK keycaps, but for some reason ABS caps from SP cause me issues.  I love the look of them, but my fingers get kinda "stuck" on the surface instead of gliding across them.  Like sneakers on a wooden basketball court.  I live with it b/c I love the colorways and fonts, but I prefer PBT dry texture.  The texture on SP DSA is good, too.

Ducky doubleshot PBT keycaps are nice but I wish they would be a tad thicker, had slightly thicker font and different mods (win key especially bugs me). They are very good for the price.

I hate that the caps lock keys have the little dot for the backlit molds
