fingernail-proof keycaps
« on: Tue, 11 February 2014, 12:50:48 »
What's the best option for keycaps that will stand up to fingernail abuse?  My wife can't touchtype so needs the legends, and she tends to wear off high-use caps within a year.

Stickers?  Front-printed caps?

Maybe dye-sublimated PBT caps?

I would think that double shots would be the most wear resistant.  Though shine will occur much faster on ABS than PBT (double shot PBT is still very new and pricey).  There are some double shot PBT caps floating around but I believe that there is only one manufacturer doing it and a lot of people here do not like the font used at all.
