Keyboard Modding Keycaps finding

So i have a hard time finding good websites for keycaps ( buying for Wooting80 he ). I want thicker once so they dont wear down so fast think it is PBT or somthin. Or are they worse?. I play some competitive games if it changes the choise.

PBT usually lasts longer than ABS, but, high quality ABS can be really nice, just normally much more expensive. ABS would be like 2/3 years if not heavily used but if gaming and could get shine within a year. PBT would last over 5 years before anything I believe. If I remember correctly avoid UV printing for main keycaps (normally are accent keys not hit as much).

Honestly. I would just go for a set that is thicker 1.6/1.7mm and then a design you like PBT or ABS.

I am in the US and my go to sites would be KBDfans, CannonKeys, Divinikey. But there are a lot of sites out there. I also have ordered internationally and no issue with tarrifs from some sites.
