Know before you buy
The pudding-style design features translucent sides and legends that allow your keyboard's RGB lighting to shine through more intensely. This creates a glowing effect that illuminates the entire base of the keycap rather than just the character on top.
Yes, these are designed for broad compatibility. The set includes alternate bottom row keycaps to accommodate the different layouts found across most major mechanical keyboard brands.
PBT plastic has a slightly textured, matte finish that is more resistant to the 'shine' that develops on standard ABS keycaps over time. It feels more durable and maintains its grip even during long gaming or typing sessions.
Not at all. The set includes a dedicated keycap puller, making the removal of your old caps and the installation of the new ones a straightforward process.
No, because these use a double-shot construction method. The legends are molded directly into the keycap as a separate layer of plastic, meaning they will never wear off or fade, regardless of how much you use the keyboard.
