A Deconstructed Mouse Design with Replaceable Keycaps
What does PBT have that ABS doesn't?
Looks like the deconstructed keyboard trend has spread to other peripherals. This deconstructed Lofree Touch PBT Wireless Mouse lets you swap out the keycaps:
As the product name suggests, the keycaps are made of PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), a thermoplastic often used for electrical insulators; if you've ever seen the plug connectors in your car's wiring, that's what they're made out of. Manufacturer Lofree reckons the material provides a "skin-friendly texture" that I guess ABS lacks?
These run $70.

It's only a search away: PBT can exhibit greater resistance to wear and to UV discolouration than ABS.
It’s the Socratic method of blogging. Now you’ll retain that information about PBT forever.
