The sound of a keyboard with ABS and PBT keycaps varies greatly depending on the thickness of the keycap. The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings.

Start by peeling off the backing paper from one corner of the tape, making sure not to remove too much of the adhesive backing at once. They'll also hold up to tens — or even hundreds — of millions of key presses without displaying signs of wear. Whether they are dye-sub (printed), laser-etched, or double shot, the inconsistencies in the inscriptions tend to be far less than with PBT keycaps and they tend to have a smooth, shiny, uniformed color throughout the entire set. Replacing your keyboard's standard keycaps with CORSAIR PBT double-shot PRO Keycap Mod kits is super easy. Created from superior ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic, these keycaps are renowned for their high durability, smooth texture, and glossy finish.

ABS is a thermoplastic polymer with a low melting point, meaning that it melts down easily and can be remolded over and over again. These keycaps are incapable of being manufactured with dye-sub and laser-etching, so most of these keycaps do not come with legends.

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a thermoplastic polymer with a low melting point, which means it melts and remolds very easily. Producing ABS keycaps is much easier due to the material, so they can look much better than PBT keycaps. Additionally, ABS keycaps come in a wide variety of colours and even translucent options are available.

Most mechanical keyboards come with relatively cheap ABS keycaps installed, but there are nice and expensive sets available online. In addition, the coloring and light transmittance of PBT are not as good as the ABS’s, making it harder to achieve the desired brightness and color saturation. 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.Credit is provided by Novuna Personal Finance, a trading style of Mitsubishi HC Capital (UK) PLC, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
