What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the HyperX Pudding Keycaps for their exceptional aesthetic upgrade, specifically focusing on superior RGB enhancement and material quality.

Know before you buy
Yes, these keycaps are compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX-style switches. As long as your keyboard features a standard bottom row layout, they should fit without issue.
Double-shot PBT is a high-quality plastic that is significantly more durable than the ABS plastic found on most stock keyboards. It resists developing that greasy 'shine' over time and ensures the legends won't fade since they are molded into the keycap itself.
The translucent sides of the pudding keycaps allow more light to escape from under the keys. This creates a much brighter, more diffused RGB glow that makes your lighting effects look more vibrant and expansive.
No extra tools are required. The kit includes a dedicated keycap removal tool that makes it easy to safely pull off your existing keys and snap the new ones into place.
These keycaps are designed for standard layouts. If your keyboard has a non-standard bottom row—specifically with different sized Ctrl, Alt, or Spacebar keys—some of the keys in this kit may not fit properly.
