POM keycaps?

I was wondering how POM keycaps feel in comparison with ABS and PBT keycaps.

My Ducky PBTs are very similar to my experience with Noppoo Choc Mini POMs.  ABS is nothing like them.

There's a bit of grain (similar to fine used sandpaper) on POM/PBT whereas ABS is smooth unless the coating is textured.  ABS textured coatings wear out far faster than POM/PBT.

I see.

I also have another question and don't really feel like making another thread.

What exactly does 2KRO mean? Does it mean that you may only press up to 2 keys simultaneously at once? I know NKRO means your allowed to press as many keys at once and they will all register.

2KRO is basically what you just described.  So is 3/4/6KRO which are other possibilities.   The exception to this is that generally modifiers also work on top of those number of keys pressed.
