I am looking for keycaps that are coated with kinda rubbery-mat style. Like SS mices Xai, kinzu or for eg on top of razer mices abyssus, deathadder etc. Couldnt find them anywhere...
My second question is what are the kecaps for keycool 87 like? Are they kinda rubberish or rather plastic?

I haven't seen keycaps with rubber finish. Considering the possibility of wear, I don't think rubber finish is a wise choice of material.
Key caps are more prone to wear than mouse buttons because many people type with their finger nails or at least finger nails are more likely to damage the surface in key caps.
You could perhaps try plastidip and make your own rubberized key cap. I heard the plastidip doesn't damage key caps and can be peeled off if desired. (I don't know for sure though)

The keys on a keycool are just fine, but it depends of the colour. White is lasered, but the black is printed and stains easily.

i think it doeasnt really matter from waht Keycap is made (plastic ofc). The Keycaps i am looking for are also plastic but they are pure smooth at the top with kinda delicate rubber coating. I think thats how Corsairs k90 swicthes look like but they are impossible to find and get, really every1 is selllling ABS/PBT either engraved or laser that are pure plastic whatsoever.
MonoSky if you will find those swicthes or come up with a solution that work (eg this rubber spray on the normal PBT/ABS keycaps) please post here. I will be thankfull.
tyy again for help
