That was what ripster told.
Aside from that, there was a long, drawn-out argument where Welly kept trying to say that Filcos' lettering rubs off on a consistent basis when there was only one known case on one key where this occurred. The whole time, we were talking about how bad the keycaps were for going shiny in about a couple of weeks
So, basically he was telling the truth.
My tenkeyless ha the spacebar already shiny after three weeks, well not completely shiny, but noticeable less matte.
No other keyboard I own is getting shiny after months of usage

Whew. That's the short story. The ability to separate serious arguments and tongue-in-cheek posts aside, ripster has a lot of great insight into keyboards. He and I don't agree on everything, but I certainly respect the work he's put in. More importantly, though, he's good people.
Skill in something is nice, and no one has ever negated the ripster's efforts.
But the honesty is an appreciable unman behavior too.
At least he keep most of the fanboysm out of the wiki section, and this is a good thing.
