"As for the keycaps, they’re made from doubleshot ABS for durability. "
Those sure look dye-sub to me.
pwade3They kind of look lasered and filled in. For sure dont look like doubleshot though

pwade3You can't dye sub white on gray, so probably lasered. MD has a shot of the backs of the keys and you can see they aren't doubleshot.

XiKIt is impossible to dye the characters a lighter color than the cap. The only way to have a dye subbed white on gray cap is to start with a white cap and dye everything except the letters gray. I would be fall out of my chair surprised if that is happening here.

JeffGReverse dye subbing. It's a thing now and it's getting really easy to do.

PyroLI stand corrected. In the past it was extremely rare. I can only think of one manufacturer that used to do it. I'm not up on the new stuff I guess.

XiKFirst time I hear you can dye sub abs, thought it ca't stand the temp that is high enough for dye subbing. Maybe that's why the legends look so bleak and washed out? And yeah, cherry ML? Seriously? If it was Kailh choc it would be great. Too bad.

XiKIt's not the first time MechanicalKeyboards has been wrong, they once briefly listed a set of Tai Hao Alps doubleshot keycaps as being PBT when they were actually ABS
