Played with different keyboards with ABS and PBT key caps, and I owned 9008S and 9008G2 before.. I can say I prefer PBT's feel over ABS. (personally preference)

I think you should try first before making up your mind.

But if I put the PBT key caps for sale, any one interested?

What color are they?

it is a clear choice. Pbt and backlit can't coexist. Thus if want backlit, clearly no pbt for u.

ducky shining fits em all

alrite. thanks for the input everyone. will go and feel them out myself before deciding. thanks alot

Just got myself a Ducky DK9008s Wite LED (MX Blue).

Overall, the typing feel is definitely better than blackwidow ultimate and it feels more solid compared to the blackwidow ultimate (my pov). Bad part about it is no arm rest, but will be getting a free arm rest from ducky end of April. Quite satisfied with it at the moment.

Pictures below:

I meaning to buy the ducky 9008 PBT version, but I am gonna change it to another PBT,
so that mean the PBT that I am selling is the 9008 PBT, which is Black I think.

if you are interested, let me know. Then I will buy the keyboard 9008, and place an order for the PBT from Taobao.

A rubber dome bamboo keyboard. Easily found in taobao. And the seller is ripping off big time, LOL... Go dig/search in taobao for the answer...
For real Cherry MX wooden keyboard/keycaps, take a look here(and the links in there).

I think he probably want some dye-sub (thick) PBT. This is some picture of dye-sub PBT on a FILCO white(not thick one). It clearly contrast out the different between FILCO's rice white and KBC's bright white.

Damn... this poison is hard to resist!!!
The red and white.... , if + the red and white GH key from the bulk by Kai, it would look

DS? Doubleshot should offer higher contrast than dye-sub normally. But PBT the best can only dye-sub.

but is white a good choice? im kinda paranoid against white products as when they start to get old, it become a lil bit stained yellow (if you get what im saying here). no?

Not sure but heard that white PBT is quite "yellowing" resistance, provided you don't expose them to sunlight.

Yellowing is an issue, would white become dirty fast if you have sweaty hands like myself?

always liked white products, but the thought of it becoming heavily stained due to my sweaty hands, that keep me away from white products....

That is dye-sub PBT keycaps from KBC. Got 2 types, one is thicker(vintage brown and white colored) with Cherry profile(lower) while another is thinner(not sure how thin) white colored with OEM profile. Both should actually fit in any keyboards with same layout..
