Buy SetKeycap 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.

Buy SetAlternatives
- Want themed art instead of RGB? — Anime sets prioritize illustrations over shine-through.

- Got a low-profile board? — Pudding is hard to find for low-profile. Use a low-profile-specific set.
