Depends on the keyboard. The Blackwidow X is made from aluminium (like a K70) and the "normal" blackwidows (chroma, TE, ultimate) are topped with plastic (it does have an aluminium frame underneath).

Actually re-reading your question, do you want to know what the keycaps are made of, or do you want to know what the actual keyboard is made of? Keycaps are basically all made of plastic even with Corsair Keyboards.

Yeah, ALL keycaps are made of plastic (unless you buy special aftermarket ones made of metal)

It's the cheapest of the most commonly used plastics in mechanical keyboard keycaps.

 

It goes shiny from oil on your fingers a lot quicker than PBT or POM.
