unlikely mold but i think that is plastic or steam (not sure)

(1)
if the "hopper" used in an injection mold machine was not properly cleaned out between different keycaps colors and some black was left over it could mix with the white causing that (may explain why it is only one one side)

(2)
was going to say moisture got inside the injection mold causing steam but now not sure seem to dark for that

yeah makes sense, also seems odd how it just stops

like a distinctive line

[raven mason]

yea i assume a black pellet or left over got mix in

[vivid raptor]

yeah alrighty thank u for that info

if interest (this video kind of) shows how the plastic injection process works (for switch's) (we use 2 pass for keycaps instead of 1 plastic)
