Can someone tell me what the stock keycaps of Keychron boards are made out of? They feel super smooth, almost as if they had a thin layer of rubber around them. I really like the feel and sound of them but would like them with a different design. Are those ABS?

Which stock keycaps? They have both ABS and PBT. I had the stock ABS k2 v2 keycaps, but they felt terrible. Now I'm kind of interested in that rubbery feeling you described.

Whatever comes with the K8. Checking the product page again at the very bottom it specifies the keycaps as OEM profile ABS keycaps. They're super smooth and have a very satisfying touch to them. I was actually really, really put off by my first official GMK set that I got as a replacement because of how rough the texture was in comparison...

Abs on my k10, the product page should say. I have mine a fair shake but finally swapped them yesterday. I prefer the harder textured feel of pbt (stock set on my ducky one2) and had a set that I bought on clearance a while ago and finally put on.

The keychron caps broke in a bit with use and got less smooth but I still don't readily like them.
