Hello
I recently purchased a Corsair K90 as my first mechanical keyboard. Before this, I was using a Razer Lycosa for about 3 years, and some Packard Bell a couple of years before that. Both of these keyboards had rubber coated keys (they were plastic, but they had rubber on them). When I switched to the K90, I have found that the bare ABS key caps are very much different from what I used to work with. My hands are very often sweaty for no reason, and I find myself slipping on the keys all the time. Writing this text I had more than 15 typing mistakes because of this.
I find it very annoying so I was wondering if you could get some rubber coated key caps anywhere online, so I could replace. I also looked at Plasti Dip which is some kind of a liquid rubber in various colours, and can also be transparent (my keyboard is backlit). I'm not sure about the Plasti Dip because I heard people saying that it's not very durable or it gets dirty very fast, however considering that key caps cost a meaningful amount of money and Plasti Dip is only about 5 pounds, I'm not really sure. I'm hoping that someone here has knowledge about these things, or maybe knows where to buy rubber key caps, preferably translucent for backlight.
Thanks for any help.
Rubber coated key caps?
