Only if you're utilizing them, if your APM is like 30 or 40... then forget aboout NKRO, it doesn't even matter.
If your typing speed is like 20 WPM, then again... forget about NKRO as well.

Ooh... 120-150 eh?

I've seen people trying to look like a pro when their WPM is only 40+ with a ton of errors. Figures.

On a membrane, the fastest I've gone is 93 WPM. My average is at 70+ most of the time with 95% accuracy on average.

Hey guys, I am just curious, what is the difference between PBT and ABS keycaps mentioned on mechanical keyboard?

ZXC fail so it doesn't even pass 3KRO.
so just 2KRO
and gaming optimize cluster.
WASD.

Hey fssbzz,

It doesn't mentioned anything about PBT and ABS in the website... Anyhow, are you the same person as fssbzz in geekhack? Cause I see that you got yourself a Ducky 9008 Mix switches. May I know where does the brown switches starts from? Cause I see some Chinese forum they starts from [F] and ended at ["]? Also did you get it from pchome with $20 US shipping? How fast is the shipping?

5days to be deliver once it ship.depends on country customs.
ya, same fssbzz from GH

Thanks for the picture~! Also.. What do u think of the difference between PBT and ABS. Also would you recommend the mix version or pure version to someone who is looking for brown switches?

i would say pure version instead of mix.
feels kind weird when typing on a mix switches.
i like the cherry mx blue on the numpad.
but not mx black on those big keys like enter backspace, shift except spacebar.
so overall i still think that full pure brown version the best.

PBT got better quality and going to last longer.
but feel very slippery, i probably already use to ABS.
so i think PBT is kinda slippery for me. i like ABS better when typing on it.
ABS is a lot cheaper the pbt.

What's the advantage of having Cherry Black on the spacebar?

Key Materials and Key Wear

There is a bewildering array of plastics available and when you add in the different additives for softening, the ability to mix plastics, and fire retardants it's not easy to generalize how keys will wear. In addition, keyboard manufacturers generally will not advertise what materials they use in keys and focus instead on cost cutting. These are some of the plastics you may find to be in use:

PS, PC and PVC (Polystyrene, Polycarbonate, Polyvinyl Chloride). Common and cheap. This is a lighter less durable plastic that tends to be vulnerable to solvents. Most keyboards shipping today including Logitech, Microsoft, etc. use some variant of this for their casings and keys.

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). It's commonly used for older keyboard casings. It's a comparatively soft material compared to some modern plastics but is resistant to breakage. Topre casings are made of ABS and probably most IBM Model M's are as well. Although I am not sure I suspect Filco and Das keys are made of ABS.

PBT (Polybutylene Terephtalate). PBT is a common choice for modern Cherry keycaps and is what IBM and Unicomp use. It should not yellow as much as ABS over time.

POM (Polyoxymethyleneor better known by the brand name "Delrin"). An abrasion-resistant and low-friction material, this found use in older black Cherry G80 keycaps. However it is expensive and not common in other keyboards.

you usually bottoming up space bar when u type very fast.
cherry mx black require force more then any mx switch, it might help a bit to prevent that bottoming key happen.
reduce the noise of typing.

does anyone here knows how to get those colored key caps for Filco keyboard?

Do you mean blanks ?

umm， something like this:
