Keycap material guide

Pudding Keycaps

Pudding keycaps have a translucent layer that lets RGB lighting shine through both the legends and the side walls. They're the right pick when lighting is part of the keyboard's identity, not just a feature you toggle on.

Why pudding

  • Strongest RGB shine-through of any keycap style.
  • Affordable — typical sets are well under premium PBT pricing.
  • Good for gaming desks where lighting is the look.
