#Keybored Should I Splurge or Save my Money? For PBT Keycaps, is MORE Expensive = MORE Better?
You know, of all things on a custom mechanical keyboard, the one component that you see the most of is actually not the Keyboard itself... it's the Keycaps. Given this, a lot of people place great emphasis on the perfect set of keycaps, and spend $$$$ on them. When it comes down to Keycaps, the usual question is ABS Vs. PBT. However, It's pretty easy to tell the differences between a cheap ABS set and expensive ones, but for PBT... especially Dye-Sub PBT caps... is there really a difference? Should I splurge or Save my Money? That's what we're here to find out!
