Product Information

Here we see a very clear view that showcases the dual-layer design. Far more light is escaping through the lower section than the upper section. What do pudding keycaps do?

Keycaps are made of doubleshot PBT, which is a huge upgrade from the laser-etched ABS keycaps that came with my DREVO BladeMaster TE.Before we start, it’s important to point out that we’ll be using some keycap-specific terminology here, such as “PBT keycaps,” “double shot,” and “OEM profile.” If you’re new to keyboards, then these might be unfamiliar terms. The keycaps have a visible mark where they split off from the mold, but cannot be easily seen, especially if you're not paying attention to the keycaps. (This is a problem with all OEM pudding keycaps.)

Next, consider what your needs are for the pudding keycap. Are you looking for something that is brightly colored and fun? Or do you want something more subtle that will still look good on your keyboard? That's why north-facing switches are currently a regular feature on gaming keyboards and the majority of pre-built keyboards. Clean the keycaps with denture tablets or dish soap and cover them in warm water. Let the keycaps sit in a container, covered and submerged in water, for 6 hours. Rinse thoroughly and lay out the keycaps to dry on their stem side Are pudding keycaps durable?

What we particularly like about the XVX keycaps is that they include a ton of extra keys, including ISO keycaps and all the ones you’ll need for 75% layouts and non-standard bottom rows. You get more keys than most pudding keycaps, with 165 keys total. So, get these if you need a pudding keycap set to cover all the core mechanical keyboard layouts. Best Pudding Keycaps Runner-Up: SteelSeries Prismcaps have large, clear fonts that let much more light through than competitors. North-facing switches will illuminate the keycap symbols directly, so there is a natural highlight through the body of a design on double shot keycaps. This is standard for keyboards now made for gaming and high-end keyboards that are most likely custom built. The increasing prevalence of smaller scale, easier to build bespoke keyboards has caused the shift in popularity towards these switches by eliminating one of their downsides. How to choose the best pudding keycap? Most pudding keycaps on the market are generally quite similar, as they’re all double-shot PBT keycaps in the OEM profile. So if you’re shopping around for a set, don’t get too hung up on the finer details of materials or build quality. Instead, ensure that the keycaps include the keys you need for your layout and that it comes in a color you like. Undeniably, pudding keycaps will allure you when you add lighting effects as opposed to simply a single unchanging color.The primary keycap size is the one used for the alphanumeric keys. These are single-unit, often shortened to “1u” keycaps. All keycap sizes derive from this basic unit. So a 1.25u keycap is one-quarter keycaps wide, while a 6.5-unit spacebar is six-and-a-half standard keycaps wide. The translucent top layer allows RGB lighting to shine through brilliantly, creating a mesmerizing and customizable light show that enhances your gaming or typing experience.
