Membrane, cheap laser-etched ABS that will be"wiped" out and ruined after a couple of months of usage. Non-standard mounting, which means you can't use 3rd party keys. And on top of all that it's massive and wireless.
And all that "glory" for 100 euro.

Laser-etched ABS letters can get 'washed out' over the years do to usage and wear. Not months.

I don't know how they were made or if they are similar or not, but the S and the D keys on my Logitech G710 were completely unrecognizable within 2 months of getting the keyboard. I love the keyboard, but there is no excuse for that type of wear that fast. I am very disappointed in Logitech on that point.

Actually, as I saw this review, suddenly my LG OLED c8 appeared as a good for gaming monitor...this plus mice, like logitech 903 and bum, can play WOT, or even some FPS on it, while sitting/laying on my bed(screen is in front of it)

This looks like a wireless version of the K55. If the same key caps are used on this K57 as are used on the K55, they will hold up just fine. My K55, after 8 months, still looks the same as it did the day I unboxed it.

I did some reading on this particular version. It uses thin double-shot ABS, so caps will be fine for a very long time as they are made from two layers of plastic, one black and the other one transparent. Initially, I thought they were laser etched.
The picture I gave is a typical example of mainstream boards with even cheaper laser-etched ABS keycaps.
Still, this type of plastic will shine over time, hence why I prefer thick PBT keycaps.
Regardless, would stay away from this keyboard as from wildfire.

The only keyboard pictures I see in the article, all look very similar to my Corsair K55.....
Based on my experience with the K55..... The keycaps are really the best part of the entire keyboard.
I'm considering replacing my K55 RGB and M65 RGB Elite with Logitech G502 Hero mouse and G213 Prodigy keyboard. Both my K55 and M65 seem to randomly miss switch activations.

Manufacturers need to stop charging £150+ for keyboards with sh1tty ABS keycaps. Simple.
