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 touch
Often slippery.
durability
Low. UV sensitivity and risk of discoloration.
abrasion resistance
Low. Shine occurs after use.
processability
high
cost
inexpensive
keystroke sound
Noticeable “clacking” high-pitched tone.
PBT material
sense of touch
Often coarse and silky.
durability
High.
abrasion resistance
Highs. Less shiny when used.
processability
Slightly low.
cost
high
keystroke sound
The bass sound is characterized by a “kotokotoko” sound.
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.
Kawamura
In general, the impression is that taller keycap shapes have a lower sound. ex,SA/MG/MT3 etc.

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.
