Dude you need to upload more, your camera and editing work is smooth AF. I knew about most of the information shared in this video already but you kept me here because even the fundamentals need to be reiterated sometimes. You did it VERY well and earned yourself a sub from both of my youtube accounts :) Keep up the good work!

Hey man I really appreciate it! This was so nice to read as the first comment. I'm still relatively new to the KZbin game so i've been trying to dial in a process that lets me keep the same quality content, but turn out more videos. Also my schedule has been crazy as of recent!

[@dhoffnun]

Double-shot ABS shine much like the painted ones, if a little slower. The reason for this is that the combination of friction and your natural skin oils actually work to slightly erode and smooth the plastic itself. PBT is much more resistant to both abrasion from your skin, and its oils.

[@placeholder3863]

“ABS isn’t common in key cap sets” GMK: um...

[@jowoshi]

I mean, with the price point gmk is at, I don’t think it’s an appropriate upgrade for the rk61. That isn’t to mention that gmk is more of a luxury item than your usual keyset.

[@ConnorCanRead]

ABS caps aren't painted. Not sure where you got that idea. The plastic is dyed with pigments, the oils on your fingers as well as the friction cause the shine. It's nothing to do with paint, everything to do with the specific plastic. Honestly, I'm just trying to find any source for what you said. I'm genuinely curious where you got that from.

[@Gamer4Reality]

Just to let you know, abs is much easier to mold compared to pbt because it does not warp nearly as much. Even non uv-coated abs caps do shine, such as high quality gmk keycaps. It's just the nature of abs. Doubleshotting is also easier on abs.

[@ToyKeeper]

Yeah, the video contained several claims which were false or misleading. Not on purpose, of course... he just didn't seem very informed. Decent video production, but the quality of information seemed only on par with an average amazon review.

[@dbcustoms187]

I would recommend trying a set of GMK or JTK caps (Doubleshot ABS), might give you a different perspective on ABS but the price point is what throws alot of people. Also the YMDK's are a knock off cap set but if you have a look you're trying to go with and can't find the GMK set for a good price then they work. Good content man

[@goxcpre]

Most people who shit on ABS have never used a quality set. PBT has come a long way but you can't beat GMK

[@adrestiaeagerton4069]

@@goxcpre Nah. It's about preference, mate. Me personally prefer PBT by YMDK (The Hami Melon set to be exact) than GMK sets. I don't shit on ABS tho

For people checking for the Razer keycaps, I tryed them, the black and white version had no leaking backlight for me, however the green and pink had. So keep that in mind that for black/white razer is an option.

[@stasoline]

Great video and bonkers production quality, you must have spent so much time making all these key combos.

[@SubjectE57]

I wasn't expecting much from this video but wow, it was informative and really well edited. I've recently bought the apex pro and am looking for a new set of keycaps, after watching this video I'm still not sure, I'm leaning towards the HyperX as I've heard some of the thicker constructed keys can get stuck on the 8 and [ characters. If you end up reviewing even more keycaps at a later date that would be awesome. Great video.

[@Js-nk8gr]

This is a very good video- That was test of my own rk61!

[@SIMPlyNikko]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! so much detail and time needed to set up these keycaps, so thank you for all the effort you put into this video!

[@katphisH11]

Very nice video, good production and information disseminated. I find it kind of funny that readability is an issue for keycaps when now it's actually in vogue to have blank keycaps, the justification being that we already memorized all the keys anyway so minimalism in the form of blank keycaps can actually look sleeker and cooler.

[@peterzapffe4126]

Was def buying rubber and bought the tai-hao instead of vulture thanks to your review. was perfect timing for me! also i agree with everyone else, you've got great content creation skills. thanks again.

[@SpeedBuff420]

Great vid quality

[@RN-zb7li]

A word on the weird looking font on TaiHao Doubleshot ABS. Not an industry expert but, I don't think it's because ABS is a weaker plastic it makes it harder to mould. The thing about doubleshots is that you have to mill the moulds separately, and looking at the fonts that they have, those fonts looks far easier to mill and by extension easier for the keycaps to manufacture. I believe it's a cost-cutting measure. I think you did a nice job covering the different types. You might want to come back and take a deep-dive on the higher end options such as GMK ABS doubleshots, and ePBT dye-sub PBT caps. I think it's worth looking at.

[@starbricks8933]

Great Video

[@hena6880]

Another great video like always! I personally love the HyperX keycaps and for the rubber one i would go with the Tai-Hao ones.

[@centurionmcjk4391]

Abs plastic shines not because of the paint, but because the oils in your fingers react with the surface of the plastic. what you may think is the paint is actually the first layer of plastic. double shot abs caps are more common than pbt. (gmk is double shot abs)

[@flamestoyershadowkill]

abs shines because of the oils from your hand getting into the plastic and eroding it away over time, pbt can shine it just takes a couple of decades. What you said was abs is actually lazer ablated keycaps and it is harder to doubleshot pbt but possible to dye sublimate.

[@KiwiKeebs]

Dude. This video was ridonk. Amazing information and the production quality was amazing! Great work! Subbed.

[@SamFromItalia]

I like the look of the pudding keycaps but 3 of the stems have broken on mine first was the space bar then the w key and then the right arrow key

[@chriswho12345]

perfect based observations. appreciate your video man - other channels talked about cost durability and feel and none of that felt real to me. this is the only useful guide for me. i think i'll stick with my default ABS because PBT backlighting seems worse.

You should try GMK keycaps they're very expensive but even though they are abs they are basically art

ABS looks pretty for lighting, but they're finger print magnets especially if you have sweaty hands. PBT on the other hand won't show any won't collect finger oils but keycap with good shine through light and crisp legends will be hard to find if you use a non-standard layout.

Hey, idk if you'll see this feed back but here it is anyways. Your production quality and video editing are top notch. The b-roll and video transitions are done sharp and professionally. Even the music mixing is great, subbed for sure! The only criticism I have is that during the switch sound test section, the microphone was picking up the vibrations through the table. You might need a shock mount and/or a mic arm to prevent this, or a mic stand that's isolated from the table vibrations. Overall great video!
