I think pbt dye-subs are the best because they keep away the shine while keeping the lettering durable.

I have WYSE (thick) doubleshots, normal ABS keys, and PBT (on my unicomp) out of those, I vastly prefer the dye-sub pbt.

I would really love a set of those blue dye sub, and i do have a tkl, but i don't have the money to do so right now.      :hurt:
right now my budget for key caps is only $70.00 max
Oh, and one more question if anyone could answer for me, do pbt have a more solid feel than the cherry double shots?

I think cherry DS feel more solid then my PBT's since they are thicker....

I prefer pbt! ABS feels cheap to me compared to pbt.  I mean, the topre RF uses pbt, it must be the best :D

Does that mean that ABS is best for the spacebar? :smile:

There are molding artifacts from shrinkage on my PBT spacebar (Unicomp)

It's barely possible to dyesub on black PBT.  Something will be there, but being able to see it will be another matter entirely.
