Double shot PBT keycaps (in general) are of much higher quality than ABS keycaps like the ones on this HyperX. They are thicker, better sounding, better feeling, and are way less prone to show fingerprints/dirt/oil.
They also don't ever fade because it's actual translucent plastic creating the lettering instead of screen printing on the letters.
This is why I don't trust ABS keycaps. If it's cheap enough I'll still buy it.. but I've had a Corsair keyboard with ABS and the caps started fading after 3 months. I always wash my hands too. Their support tried to turn me down at first and claimed normal wear and tear lol.
I did end up getting a replacement keycaps from their support and those lasted much longer without fading at all.. so it's really just luck if they're gonna fade or not
I personally check Amazon Warehouse (used). You can find SteelSeries, Razer, EVGA, Corsair keyboards for 60-70% off. Plenty with volume control knobs. Yes, they are customer returns, but I have probably bought 30 keyboards over the years and have never had an issue.
Any PBT caps you would recommend?
For something like this I would (and did) just get a cheap set of the Razer PBT keycaps. They are of pretty decent quality, and can be had for $25-30 new on Amazon.. or (if you don't mind) you can get a full set for $13-15 "used" (customer return) via Amazon (warehouse deals). Sounds gross to buy "used" keycaps, but I have probably bought 20 sets of keycaps used from Amazon and they all have come in original packaging, and are pretty much indistinguishable from new.
HyperX's own PBT pudding keycaps are on sale for $14.99 right now (brand new) on Amazon as well. I have never used those, so I cannot speak to their quality. But, I am sure they are much better than the ABS keycaps that are included.
You can honestly spend a crazy amount of money on PBT sets ($120+), but given that this is a solid but "budget" board, I wouldn't be doing that. Lol.
