does the added backlighting mean that the keycaps are going to be abs? or are they still going to be pbt? EDIT: I just looked at the comments oops

GerykoThe caps are going to be PBT. Which is great for feel / sound (imo), but unfortunately means the backlight becomes kind of useless. Right now I'm looking into separately buying a set of ABS caps too (just so that I can try both and decide if I'd rather have crappy backlight and PBT or proper backlight and not so nice caps). However, Vortex also makes now a set of PBT/POM caps which essentially are the best of both worlds: most of the cap is PBT but for the symbol, which is an semi-translucent POM which still lets the backlight shine thru. I'll get those too probably. The only thing (again, imo) that the PBT/POM cap set lacks to be perfect would be the Poker 2 typography. These caps don't have the gothic type.
