Title: Leopold FC660M PBT keyycaps
Post by: Tactile on Fri, 27 November 2015, 14:33:41

I'm keyboard shopping & was looking at the Leopold FC660 with Cherry MX switches but I'm reading that the keycaps are pad printed PBT. Pad printed? Is this not as bad as it sounds? Are the Leopold pad printed keycaps better, longer lasting than others?

I had one with pad printed PBT key caps; its legends were gold on medium gray caps. It was a nice set, but I never really use it, I changed them for a Skull Squadron DSA double shot set, since the beginning.
