Thank you for the info in this video on PBT Double Shot. I'm not looking into getting a corsair keyboard and don't own one, but I'm doing some research right now for a suitable replacement keyboard to my Cooler Master ck550 (which has ABS keycaps that are starting to wear around WASD) - particularly on material types - and the information that you provided was helpful. PBT Double Shot sounds exactly what I want: Two plastics molded together rather than a translucent one that is painted black.
it is not actually two pieces assembled together, but a special manufacturing process, where first you inject one type of plastic, and then the other plastic is injected around it.
I liked the PBT for typing. For games, I still get the originals, which are less rugged for repetitive touch (WASD). By combining the two types of keycaps, I believe it's the best of all worlds.
Charging customers $170 for a mediocre keyboard with cheap ABS plastic caps is one thing. Asking another $50 to upgrade to PBT is rubbing salt into wounds. Not even Ducky keycaps are this expensive. At the end of the day, they are just moulded plastic
This is why I stick to HyperX they have the same product for considerably less and in my opinion better quality in areas that matter more. You can get a full set of pudding double shots from HyperX for $20.
I personally own Taihao double PBT keycaps and really like them. I would be curious how they compare in quality/feel to Corsair and Razer. I'm not a fan of pudding keys
You buy a premium high quality keyboard for nearly 200$. But to get it to use you have to pay another 60 Dollar for Keycaps which should actually be installed on the keyboard when you buy it, because the keycaps installed are cheap ugly scrap with a way to thin pin holder which crack after 1-2 years of use. But nobody tells you, when you are researching for a mechanical keyboard.
I bought PBT DOUBLE-SHOT PRO Keycap Mod Kit - Onyx Black (NA) and is really cheap, wrong plastic, too hard plastic, the 2 kits i received with R MA, is all broken in white cross under caps after fews minutes and next days after used keycaps or not 60% thru 90% of all caps broken in same place around the cross horizontally near Cherry MX pin cross. The change design, less white plastic and more hard plastic, not flexible plastic like my original Keyboard i still haved my keycap after 12 years, LOL, and now just good for 1 or fews days! Cheap hard plastic now! and payed 60$ plus TX and shipping!
well i guess the time i decide to buy a mechanical keyboard from corsair i'll probs get some of these just so the keycaps last for a long time, just a bit more so i upgrade out of my k55
depending on which keyboard you get it may already have double shot keycaps on it. Thanks for checking out the video and for the comment. I appreciate it. :)
Thanks man. This is one of those videos where I had a lot I wanted to share in it but at the same time know that there are going to be a lot of people that don't care about 90% of what I wanted to say. XD LOL
For me I can't believe how expensive those resin keycaps are... just one keycap can cost as much as $40-60... just a few keys and you can buy yourself a whole brand new mechanical keyboard! 😅
@@el_teodoro No he is right, anywhere from $30-$100 I have one off Amazon that cost $35 and it's the cheapest I could find that was real resin and not cheap plastic.
and then you found about custom keyboard communities where they spend thousands of money just to customize a one fucking keyboard....from assembling with a variety of parts to do it all yourself!

Diego Motta how? In what way is abs better
@@unfunny2258 More light coming through. More RGB = More FPS
@@IchiroSakamoto thats not how it works, the pbt is still shine through
@@unfunny2258 worse shine prob
@@paklekj4429 doubt it

my anne pro 2 is double shot pbt is that good I'm not too familiar with all the keycaps that exist
@@j.m4a1 yes they are good I replaced my anne pro 2 with the corsair k65 rapidfire

My cheapest HyperX keyboard is $50 and it came with double shots but they are membrane keys not mechanical.
I am here because I bought Fantech MK885 Optimax. So I am happy now. Thanks

i had my razer blackwidow for 7.5 years and the paint never cracked lol
Great video, very informative, thank you! What about the touch feeling of the new keycaps? Do they improve the typing experience?
I feel they're not really any different feeling from the originals.
Didn’t even take me 7 years. My d key is faded after 4 months. Thank you osu
My old Logitech 614+ keyboard had a rubber doughnut around the shaft on the key. Why is this ?

Convinced me never to buy a Corsair keyboard.
Thanks this was helpful
ty assumed it had to do with the functionality
Ypu would think as long as you have all the bottom caps it would make up for the different sizes.
Thanks for this video. But this sounds funny, 'It should last till I am ready to buy a new keyboard' !!!!!!
What’s your setup??
so normal pbt keycaps fit on corsair keyboards? (k68)
4k subs.... you should be a 100k sub youtuber reaching a 1 million milestone!
Thank you man I appreciate the compliment. :) Cheers Bro!

I don't believe one cost $40 to 60$. But I do get what you mean, they are pretty expensive for a piece of plastic
Its because its art lol
@@el_teodoro No he is right, anywhere from $30-$100 I have one off Amazon that cost $35 and it's the cheapest I could find that was real resin and not cheap plastic.
@@el_teodoro you can buy custom graphic keycaps for dirt cheap tho and they are pretty cool just not as cool.
Tha ks fpr the video im glad u exspained this to me amd us lol
Tyyysm
and then you found about custom keyboard communities where they spend thousands of money just to customize a one fucking keyboard....from assembling with a variety of parts to do it all yourself!

Nothing about the difference between ABS and PBT plastics? Kinda crucial dude, sorry but thumbs down.
