    Actually honest and informative marketing material that properly doubles to its subconscious goal of giving me positive associations with the brand. I see you, I applaud you, and I'm saving money for my Defy nonetheless

    Very interesting, as well as entertaining. So, Dominique, what material are the Dygma Defy keycaps made of? ABS or PBT? Single or double injection?

    • @DygmaLab
      @DygmaLab  6 месяцев назад

      The Dygma Defy are single shot, laser-etched ABS. It was impossible to find off-the-shelf PBT keycaps for it (the layout is non-standard) and manufacturing our own mold was too expensive and time-consuming 🥹

    Dominique looks great as a blond 😍. I can see a "Young Frankenstein" fan great Gene Wilder impression. I want "Pudding Caps" for my "Defy" 😭. Thank you for sharing this "Double Shot" episode. Thank you "Dygma Team" 👍❤. Kudos from NYC 🗽.

      We hope we can venture into new designs for the Defy keycaps in the future, this is something we would love to do.

      Oh yeah, there are many other materials used for keycaps but we wanted to focus on these most popular ones first.
      We will make a future video about the other materials too 😉

      @@DygmaLab It is very well done... she kills it! I might probably buy a Defy over a Kinesis Advantage 360 pro mostly as an appreciation for her performance, and who ever chooses her to do the performance.
      This is some good marketing. Also, I think it suits the RGB-loving demographic more. I mean I am more an Apple Magic Keyboard type of a guy. At most a white backlight is all I need.
      Good job!

    • @DygmaLab
      @DygmaLab  Год назад

      Nice, thank you! You can use the RGB as only white or even turn it off, no problem with that 🥰

      ​@@DygmaLabidk how i can explain it but it just feel to me like if the keyboard was dusty lol. Also the finger slide more somehow maybe because although the grain results in more friction there is less surface area in contact idk.

      Mmmm You can continue with ABS but you can also try other materials, as for example POM, amber-inspired or ceramic 💪 Maybe this video can help you ruclips.net/video/G0g0waxObAE/видео.html
