Does anyone know if the DSA ABS caps have the same texture on the top as the PBT kits? I like SA's smooth top.

SifakaMonThese are going to have a slight texture to them, so not a smooth SA ABS keycap top or a GMK keycap or a PBT kit top. Its not matte, but there is just a slight bit of texture to them that would not qualify as smooth as SA. HTH

Fun fact I like that SA smooth top too and I already pitched the idea to investors, I hope to see that at some point next year, hopefully. Tooling is expensive but it seems there are some people interested in offering keycaps with that finish! But like @Jedi said, the keycaps offered here have a little texture on top of them.

MiToI was surprised at how much the texture bothered me with the first DSA set I put on a keyboard. I found myself scratching it with my fingernail distractedly. I think I could get used to it but then I replaced those with the excellent Dasher/Dancer set and haven't looked back...

SifakaMonis there anyway to get the smooth top by sanding and polishing?

p5ycho6Possibly, via a very precise solvent and buffing setup you might be able to do it, or possibly by forming into yet another mold with a transparent plastic injection on top. I haven’t really thought much about it though.
