An ABS double-shot keycap is a type of keycap for mechanical keyboards, known for its durability and unique structural design. ABS double-shot keycaps are made by injection molding two layers of ABS plastic together: one layer for the main keycap body and another for the legend (the character or symbol).This method ensures the legend is embedded within the keycap, making it highly resistant to wear and fading over time
