Recommendations for (PBT) GMK Pulse Clones (lemmy.world)

I really enjoy the colorways of the GMK Pulse, and was even willing to pay the premium to get some, however as they are ABS, I am worried they will begin to shine at some point.

Does anyone have any suggestions for similar looking caps that are PBT?

PBT will also shine at some point. Whether it's sooner or later depends on how you type and how greasy or sweaty your fingers are. PBT can't do magic, it's just a, usually softer, plastic.

If you're looking for cheap caps, try aliexpress or taobao.

Gotcha, thanks. I also learned that since PBT is a harder plastic, designers have fewer colors available to work with, which is why they are normally not as vibrant, and are more of a pastel color.

I'll grab some GMK :)
