I’m not too surprised because PBT as a material is harder to work with. It’s more prone to shrinkage and large caps like the spacebar are prone to warping, and this compounds if you try to do doubleshot PBT.

Most of the affordable PBT caps I’ve seen have been dyesub (which can be very durable if done well) or PBT-ABS blend doubleshot.

Yeah, dyesub can be super durable. For the past few years I've rotated between several keyboards as daily drivers. All with dyesub PBT keycaps that retailed in the $30-$40 range.

Zero issues with the dyesub labels.

I generally prefer them to doubleshot PBT, because dyesub labels tend to be much crisper than doubleshot labels. Though, of course, you can find ultra-crisp doubleshot labels or fuzzy dyesub labels.
