Can someone explain to me what doubleshots are?

I know what ABS and PBT keys are. I see people talking about doubleshots all the time, but I have no idea what they actually are.

"DOUBLESHOT" or "2-SHOT" or "DUBSHOT" sounds way cooler than "injection moulded". Also why do you brits use totally unnecessary vowels, like the "U" in moulded?
Get it together, England.

"injection moulded"

I hate to tell you this, but lasered or pad-printed caps are also injection moulded.... The difference is that DS caps go through this process twice (pref to us with two different colours plastic).

  • Topre, or not Topre? That is the question.

That's correct. ;-)

You see what I did there?  I made the word "correct" bolder.

You should have changed the colour of the word too.

Watch the last part to see double injection in action. Watch the whole thing to see why this process is so expensive :D

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
