Title: Black GMK caps have different texture?
Post by: pixelpusher on Tue, 09 January 2018, 14:15:03

Has anyone noticed that GMK's black (CR)  keycaps have a slightly different texture?  I just recently got a set of Miami Nights and I'm loving it.  It's almost like they have a rougher finish to keep them more matte black.  It feels so nice to my fingers.

I don't think so, I noticed no difference in texture when they were new. I'm quite sure that black keycaps are somehow harder than the beige ones, and that the shine takes longer to appear.

Makes sense.  That’s probably it
