Does anyone know what type of keycaps are on this keyboard?

I believe the white version has PBT and the black has POM.

There are also models with doubleshots, those will have an H in the model number like G80-11900HRMUS-2

The model number for this one is G80-11900LUMEU-0 -- is that PBT? Are stock cherry PBT dyesubs thick or thin?

The modern white models are usually thin lasered PBT.

Right that would be lasered PBT. Thickness will depend on production year, but I would assume Cherry thin. But even Cherry thin is almost twice as thick as most OEM profile keys. They will most likely be just the same as those on that 3000 you had from me.

Cherry PBT next to GMK doubleshot. :rolleyes:
(My keys are dyed black, but originally white/beige)

Ahh OK. Thanks for the info. Even though they were thin and lasered, those caps on the 3000 felt pretty nice. Once I get the blank ones from your GB though...this thing should feel great ;)
