Keycap Shines
« on: Mon, 30 December 2019, 21:48:39 »
I wanted to see people's keycaps that have shined to judge for myself whether I like them or not and willing to buy another GMK set. I've seen some sets already but would like to see more. Feel free to post and share

Now is my time to.. shine?

OG double shot Desko caps after what I would assume is about two hours of usage.  :p

Seriously, how long does it take to get this result?

I bought these second hand so I have no idea what the usage timespan is, but I'd guess a few years at least eight hours a day.

I don’t have a photo but my ABS went shiny after a couple of years.

As such I only go for PBT caps now. Much prefer them. Can’t understand the fascination with GMK double shots given how poorly they age in everyday use. But each to their own
