Somehow i like the texture of PBT caps,ABS would be a little too slippery,double shot caps are also as slippery as normal ABS caps?

You seem to be a bit confuse...

Double Shot, Dye-Sublimated, Laser-Latched, etc are PRINTING TECHNIQUES of making the "FONT" on the keycaps. NOT THE MATERIALS used to make the keycaps. (You can imagine this as painting style, like cute style, realistic style, abstract, etc)

PBT, ABS, POM, Zinc, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, etc are MATERIALS used for the keycaps. (You can imagine these are choices of painting medium choices, like color pencils, oil paint, water color, acrylic paint, etc)

So, DO NOT MIX them up.

Not all ABS keycaps are slippery. But, most of them are(which commonly found).
ABS keycaps can be NON-SLIPPERY too if it's SANDBLASTED by default and using very good quality ABS materials.
Usually, ABS Keycaps surface will get oily or shiny after sometime. But, if they're sandblasted, they'll last longer than non-sandblasted.

PBT keycaps are mainly chalky by nature and more durable.

Which means, you can have Double Shot PBT Keycaps and also Double Shot ABS Keycaps on the market. Because, Double Shot is a PRINTING TECHNIQUE, NOT materials.

Well, I don't mind non Cherry switch. I'm having problem with surfing on TaoBao (don't know how to read chinese)  tongue.gif . Even with those sites that help to buy from TaoBao, I don't know any brand or particular keyboard to search.

use these keywords,compiled it while searching for my keycaps laugh.gif

oh..cute cat you got there.. wanna ask, will the keycaps be compatible with all mechanical keyboards from all brand??

if I'm getting, I think i'll try out the LingYi Black Widow. Still researching.
*
i think there's a differences between them,u check first page post,i think you can get the info from there for different size,such as spacebar size also diff for some i think
not too sure coz my keyboard layout is generic,so i'm not too bothered about the compatibility laugh.gif
