[Question] DoubleShot ABS keycap
« on: Sun, 07 July 2013, 08:11:44 »
Newbie here. All I know the ABS keycaps came with my keyboard will turn shiny and legends gets yellow after a few months.

Is DS ABS also applies the same as I mentioned above?

Yes, it is the fact it is made out of ABS which will lead it to be Shiny, the fact it is Double Shot will have no effect on its durability.
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

White legends on lasered dark keycaps (like on new black Cherry keyboards or Noppoo Choc) will be yellow/brown much earlier than ABS doubleshots though.

What kind of key caps did you get with your keyboard?

It's a surprise :D. Maybe I'll post my keyboard custom keycaps after I bought them. Currently having fullsize Filco now. Been waiting for 2 days for Feng to reply me his PM. :(
