How many types of mechanical keyboard keycaps are there according to material classification?
1. ABS keycaps: The cost is also the cheapest. Whether it is some high-end mechanical keyboards or low-end keyboards, it has applications. The advantage is low cost and easy to shape. The disadvantage is that it is easy to oil after long-term use;

3. POM keycaps: high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and self-lubricating properties. The disadvantages are large shrinkage, difficult molding, appearance and size cannot be guaranteed, and light-colored materials are prone to shrinkage.
4. All-metal keycaps: high surface hardness, high wear resistance, super hard feel, high processing and assembly costs, the cost of a keycap may be equivalent to the price of a mechanical keyboard, suitable for individual players and super enthusiasts.
5. Resin keycap: According to the process, it is divided into three types: layered coloring, glue filling, and painting. The glue filling process has the best feel, the lowest cost, and the simplest process. Resin keycaps are generally created for DIY.
