Product Information

Due to the relative weakness of ABS, this happens quickly, and results in an unpleasant texture and the loss of the legend, or symbol on the key in question. In this case, a thicker, or double shot ABS keycap may be the best solution, although these keycap sets can get quite expensive as well. All these qualities are ideal for keycaps, as they are made in huge quantities, however, there are downsides to ABS and the main one is how they wear out. This seriously affects the overall look and feel of the keyboard and even makes it difficult to use over time.

We’ll go more in detail about the main differences between the two and some other interesting keycap variations. We're attracting top gaming brands from around the world and bringing fresh new gaming gear to the UK, with a mission to make it accessible to everyone nationwide.This process serves the dual purpose of ensuring the legend never fades, while also making it easier for light to shine through the legend. Double shot keycaps are made from a more complicated manufacturing process where two separate plastics are injection molded to make the keycap.

Keycaps made from ABS don't shrink as much during the molding process as keycaps made using PBT, which makes them easier (and cheaper) to manufacture. While it depends on the manufacturer, PBT tends to have a deeper, crisper, and less tinny sound when typing than that of a typical ABS keycap set. ABS keycaps can scratch easily and, while they do insulate well, are still very flammable under extreme temperatures, and can melt at temperatures as low as 105 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, it is much easier to find ABS keycap sets for RGB and backlit keyboards, so the options will be far greater with ABS.It's commonly used in the manufacturing of electrical and mechanical components such as electric sockets or light switches.
