Are you sure that's not a mistake? I mean, don't illuminated keyboards normally have abs keycaps? I have seen Duckys with PBT keycaps, but not illuminated, such as this grey and blue combo:

It's what I thought too. So checking to see if any members had any dealing. Vortex made one pbt that were illuminated, but that was the one instant.
Originally Ducky Shine 6 was suppose to be PBT, but at release they changed it back to double shot ABS. I am fairly confuse as there are no discussion about it at all anywhere.

There was one review of the Shine 6 that mention the floating keycap felt texturize similar to PBT. Skip to 6:30 mark.

Would love to know if anyone have had experience with these Dukcy.

The keyboard in the video is the special edition Shine 6, which is listed as double shot ABS. The non special edition of the Shine 6 is listed as PBT.
