Also, does anyone know what the materials are for the keycaps?

Cherry typically uses POM or PBT.  Many of the manufacturers these days are using POM and PBT instead of ABS and PVC, or at least they are offering the option like Ducky.

Would ABS be a suitable option for high-end keyboards?

Theferenc thinks Geekhackers don't read the Wikis but I know that even OCN'rs can be trained to use the hyperlinked headings off the top of the page.

Think I'm being made fun of.  Not quite sure..   too many acronyms..   was that the equivalent to RTFM?

OCN?

Wow, regardless, great info ripster.  Thank you!  Might have a surprise in the upcoming weeks.  Tinkering here we go.

RTFM is reserved for those people who keep asking questions, over and over, when they could have just read the docs. I'm more than happy to help people, but will eventually stop answering their questions if they are in a wiki somewhere, and just point them there.

At some point, you have to help them help themselves. If politely pointing them at the documentation doesn't work, it's time to try shoving.

Oh, and in CS we often interpret RTFM as "Read the fine manual", which is significantly less rude. But also tongue in cheek.

Realization of what double shot means.  Double shot = hard.  :(  This is definitely going to be harder than originally thought.  Should be fun trying though.  Wife might not like it.

You'll be divorced in no time.  Depending how the settlement works out, you should have plenty of cash for keyboards.
