POM is the jam. It gets almost no love anywhere but it is by far my favorite type of plastic for caps.

It is just so fast.

I also vote POM. I really like how they feel.

Be careful though with the POM keycaps in banggood. I purchase one and use it on my TK, it was too tight that I was able to pull the stem along with the keycap. I am still finding a way to loosen it as I really want to try POM caps.

I've unfortunately not tried POM yet. I had a set of the Banggood caps for a while, but never used them because I heard they were tight and I would be putting them on MX clears, the stems of which are also known for being tight.

There was a GB for some POM caps at one point, but if I remember correctly it didn't get enough interest to meet MOQ.

So to answer your question: I don't know! But the Banggood PBT isn't very high quality.

So how tight are the POM keycaps on black switches

I have a set of Cherry lasered POM caps on my Epsilon which has 65g Blacks. The cap tightness is fine. I haven't had any issues.

I prefer the feel of PBT

I wonder for some time if POM is a good plastic for caps. It was very interesting to read about the issue of tightness. I have a set, but I am only using the space bar and it feels very very nice to the touch. It has not get any shine yet, after like three months now.

Well I just ordered some POM keycaps on Banggood

You may want to let us know how is your experience with them, after you got them.

I would buy the POM Alphas from Signature Plastics if i wanted to try POM. 18$ for the best alpha set of caps i have come across and i own way to many keycap sets.

I buy American. the only problem with the signature plastics offering is they dont include mods. never had an issue with the caps being tight though. but then again i dont buy crud from banggood.

i use mine with some GMK purple mods i bought from ivan. total titties. it is my work board and daily driver. i have gone to other caps and profiles but i always come back to these POM alphas. they are just too awesome.

And how do you know that these caps are made of POM? I am sorry, maybe I missed the information, but I did not find any reference in the page.
