ABS Keycap Comparison Typing Sounds - GMK vs JTK vs Domikey vs ePBT ABS

Описание: If you've noticed recently, I've been super into the sound of ABS keycaps and have sold most of the PBT keycaps at this point. So since there's so many options now besides GMK for ABS keycaps, I thought I'd put together a comparison of all the ABS keycaps I currently own. I know there are more options but these are the only ABS keycaps I have on hand. I hope this helps in deciding which ABS manufacturer you're going to go with on your next build!

Personally, in terms of looks, I think GMK is the pretty clear winner here, its really hard to beat GMK's consistency in terms of legending. I wasn't a huge fan of all the inconsistencies on JTK and ePBT's legends. I also wasn't that big of a fan of Domikey's font. My scale for legending would be from best to worst: GMK, JTK, DMK, ePBT

In terms of sound, I was actually surprised to really like how lively and clacky the ePBT ABS sounds. GMK had the most warped spacebar out of the four, with the other three having incredibly straight 6.5u spacebars, but I'll treat the scale as if the GMK spacebar was straight. Its also worth mentioning that the DMK backspace and enter sounded really weird for some reason in this comparison but sound fine in other builds, probably being caused by the Tungsten switch's long pole stem. It might've been just this build, but JTK sounded the most dry despite the keycaps not being too thick visually. So, for my preference of sound it from best to worst it would be: ePBT ABS, GMK, DMK, JTK
