I tried googling this, but i got more confused than a clear answer, but i gotta ask 2 questions:
1: Will PBT doubleshot keycaps fit on my Corsair Gaming Strafe keyboard with MX Silent Red-switches? What do i need to look out for in order to see if the keycaps will fit my keyboard or not?
I ask this because i have a Corsair Gaming Strafe keybard (not the Mk2, but the regular one), and because here where i live (scandinavia, europe), we're lacking keyboards with both PBT ds keycaps combined with MX Silent Red-switches, and also because i don't really have the budget to spend about $200 on a new keyboard with both PBT-keycaps + MX Silent Red-switches. However, i'd definitely LOVE to have PBT-keycaps on a MX Silent Red keyboard because they are more durable, they feel more comfy on my fingers and they don't get dirtied/greased up that easily, compared to the current ABS-keycaps that my Corsair keyboard has. That glossy effect becomes visible relatively fast with ABS-keycaps, yes. And that comes from one who keeps my hand quite so clean. Ohh, and the price for a full set of PBT ds-keycaps will cost me about $20-30, so yeah, it's quite the difference in price for only the keycaps vs a whole new keyboard, naturally.
And yes, i am really THIS obsessed about having MX Silent Red-switches on my keyboard because they are quite easily the most quiet ones available over here (yes, i need the nordic layout on my keyboard), and i have owned a solid handful of keyboards, but so far, the Corsair Gaming Strafe is the best one i've had so far. It even beats the Xtrfy K4 with kaihl red-switches, which is nowhere near as quiet as my Corsair Strafe keyboard...
And my 2nd question: Is it worth getting a set of PBT ds-keycaps for my keyboard or should i invest in a completely new keyboard with both PBT ds-keycaps and MX Silent Red-switches? I ask this because i have now had the Corsair Strafe for about 2.5 years, so yeah, it's quite used.
So. Care to share me your thoughts on this peculiar matter?
