MelGeek Mojo68 Plastic updated with selectable keycap material

  • Copied the URL !

MelGeek, a custom mechanical keyboard brand, has updated the keyswitch choices and keycap options for its Mojo68 Plastic model.

Mojo68 is a mechanical keyboard that has been the talk of the town since December 2022, when a technically compliant model was contracted on the crowdfunding site “Makuake” and began shipping at the end of January 2023.

There is no indication that the model with technical compliance will be officially sold in Japan, but it is possible to purchase an equivalent model (although it does not support technical compliance) on the official website.

With this update, the material of the keycaps can be selected.

Difference in keystroke sound due to different keycap materials

Keycaps are generally made of ABS or PBT, and each material has a slightly different keystroke sound.

ABS material

sense of touchOften slippery.
durabilityLow. UV sensitivity and risk of discoloration.
abrasion resistanceLow. Shine occurs after use.
processabilityhigh
costinexpensive
keystroke soundNoticeable “clacking” high-pitched tone.

PBT material

sense of touchOften coarse and silky.
durabilityHigh.
abrasion resistanceHighs. Less shiny when used.
processabilitySlightly low.
costhigh
keystroke soundThe bass sound is characterized by a “kotokotoko” sound.

Reference: Sansan Tech Blog

The keycaps used on Mojo68 Plastic have an “MDA profile,” which is slightly taller than the standard Cherry, so the PBT material will have a more distinctive thumping bass sound.

In general, the impression is that taller keycap shapes have a lower sound.

This is to inform you about the updates to Mojo68 Plastic.

MelGeek is very hard to track because of the silent implementation of these use changes lol.

At any rate, this is a great update for prospective buyers.

Truly, Mojo68 offers a high-quality keystroke feel that is unimaginable at this price point.
