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.
