I’m sure for expensive keysets that are no longer valuable to the person for personal reasons, selling them is the only option. So, I’m pretty curious as to what people do with their keycaps that are “inexpensive” and have also become useless/worthless. Can they even be sold second-hand? These could be cheap keysets from aliexpress, the default keycaps of pre-built keyboards, or even TaiHao keycaps. Having recently watched National Geographic Channel’s videos on plastics and the problems that have risen from it, it made me wonder what happens to keycaps that have become worthless.
I wonder are keycaps recyclable or not? Like can GMK/SP take worthless keycaps, melt them, and reuse them in making new kaycaps? Since they’re selling grab bags, I guess not. Keycap science is interesting. Wish there was a video about it. There was only a very short video showing Signature Plastics’ workplace.
I recycle (in the sense of putting them in a bag for waste disposal people) any of the ones made from plastic, especially ABS. I don’t really go for the luxury, custom sets and only ever deal with the cheap kind that may have differently colored plastics at most.
