Thank you all for your replies
cookie, your pic is very interesting. That spacebar has a
dent where your thumb has worn it down
I love to see well-used boards like this.
Keycap shine gets a bad rep on this site and since it doesn't bother me too much I was wondering how others really felt, thank you for your replies, I believe it has shown that while a lot of people hate ABS shine, for some it's quite tolerable. I get the feeling that a person with a board that has shiny PBT would actually feel slightly proud of it
My preferences in terms of material is still POM > PBT > ABS, but I still love my good ABS sets, even when shiny and "greasy"
I have a feeling my new SA profile sets with "semi-gloss" tops will have "gloss" tops after very little use.
