I'm pretty sure it's ABS

I learnt ABS also have different version, one that does not break easily. But I forgot which one.

Yeah, the kind that GMK uses lol. I'll stick to PBT for cheap keycaps from now on.

That said I'm thinking of replacing the set with DROP DCX keycaps which are also high quality ABS.

I have a GMK set and a Drop BOW set and the Drop are almost identical. Legends are slightly thinner but actually sharper and plastic feels a little lighter
