So I currently have several aluminum starcraft keycaps with raised textures, and I have some artisan caps (Hotkeys, gaskmask) and I really really enjoy typing on them on my Race S with MX Browns. I feel somewhat afraid that typing will eventually wear them down, but the texture response to my fingers feels really good and I can't get that on normal keys - whether they be PBT or ABS. Does anyone else feel the same way?
Also, aluminum keys make quite the satisfying sound on my keyboard and it increases my enjoyment. I used to have all those specialty caps on the F rows to minimize their use, but now I moved them to my number rows just so I could feel them more.
Or maybe I'm just a creep :(

Not sure about some, but people have tried to destroy Clack Factory keycaps with various abrasive and chemical agents, but they are surprisingly resilient.
Most people tend to put their artisan keycaps on less-often used switches, usually along the top of the keyboard.

Good to hear that Clacks are quite resistant. The tactile pleasure is making me really want to just fill my keyboard with artisan caps lol.

I actually got rid of my artisan caps because typing on them bothered me too much. I still love them. I think they're beautiful and many of them are really mini works of art. But, yeah...cannot type on them, at all. >:D
