No problemo

This is a question that IMHO only u can answer. For some people, paying in excess of RM400 for a keyboard is not worth it, no matter how good the brand or board is. Others will disagree and say that it's a worthwhile investment for such a good piece of equipment and typing pleasure.

Sometimes, after making prior research and doing due diligence, one just have to take the plunge to find out for sure. If the product is not to ur liking, then sell it and chalk it up to experience and call it a lesson learnt.

Also, IIRC, PBT is quite 'soft'..not as in squishy, but as in hardness. I'm able to shave away/sand bits of my PBT keycap (where it gets stuck with Costar stabiliser) quite easily.

"... asks the Filco keyboard."

The feel of the Vortex PBT keycaps most probably better than the Ducky floating ones...however, QC on the Vortex PBT keycaps is quite bad. I had an opportunity to go through several units of the Vortex PBT caps, almost all of them had the stems showing through. The degree of the stem's visibility varies according to the lighting conditions, and also on manufacturing variability too I guess as some had really visible stems while others not so much. After checking around 15 units of the caps, I gave up and decided to forego buying them. So...caveat emptor.

It might be different for your case but a few years ago I kene tax by kastam on an item I bought from the US via ebay. I had to go to Pos Malaysia at KLIA to pay the tax & then pick up the item. Again, YMMV.

Ah, I was just about write on this here. I did try lubing the stabilizer bar of my right shift using white lithium grease pen (ACE hardware, around belas2 ringgit). This right shift keycap was sticky and would get stuck randomly sometimes, super annoying when it remains depressed. Anyway, after lubing (just a bit, less is more), the problem went away for awhile but after a week it reoccured. So I tried shaving off a little bit of the keycap's bottom inside edge using an Xacto knife (refer to pic below, NB pic isn't mine, just using it here to illustrate the part I'm referring to). Guess what, the keycap gets stuck more often! Am I doing something wrong? For now, I relubed for the time being as a stopgap measure.

Oh, and this didn't happen with the stock ABS keycaps of my Majestouch 2. It only started happening when I switched out to a set of Leopold PBT keycaps. Thicker than the stock Filco keycaps for sure, but also I think the Leopold keycaps' SS2 profile could also be a factor but not 100% sure.

Would appreciate feedback.
