Comfort of ABS vs. PBT?

<< < (2/3) > >>

sheaf:
The question is: ABS vs PBT vs... PETG!

(I like the feel of PETG.)

Rassles:
i really like crp for pbt - it sounds super nice. But abs is my preferred despite it being so easy to shine

POMPOKEY:
you are right about that ABS is more slippery and lighter but i personally like PBT more because of it's sound effect i guess which gives more lower pitch when typing and give more softer feeling

Seoeunmonster:
ABS sounds better and PBT feels better for my fingers. Difficult problem!

I like the chalky, dry feel of the PBT plastic especially the ones in Realforce, HHKB or Leopold FC660M. They just feel so wonderful. ABS plastic gives me a feeling of the keys getting shiny and "sticky", as though they are ready to melt and stick to my fingers.
