HyperX Pudding Keycaps 2 - Full Key Set - PBT - 112 Keys - Black...

I love how the light comes thru them not just at the bottom but up the sides. They just make the keyboard pop more. They are very sleek looking too. Great set and Value for sure.!

The HyperX Pudding Keycaps 2 are a set of PBT keycaps designed to allow more light to pass through, enhancing the visibility and legibility of individual keys. These keycaps feature two special space bar designs and are known for their thickness, durability, and resistance to wear and friction. I found them compatible with Cherry MX Switches, Gateron Switches, Kailh Box Switches, and Outemu switches. Pros: - Made from high-quality PBT plastic - The design enhances the brightness of RGB backlighting - The "pudding" design creates a unique and visually appealing aesthetic. - Offers a significant aesthetic and functional upgrade at a reasonable price. Cons: - The vibrant and playful design might not appeal to everyone This pudding caps are an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their keyboard's appearance and functionality without breaking the bank.

These pudding style key kaps came from HyperX and were priced at $30 when ordered. I'll just start by saying the conclusion first. These are premium keycaps with great looks and feel. The quality is spot on in respect to both materials and finish. I absolutely love these key caps, but they may not be for everyone. This set is for a full sized keyboard with a few extra keys included for a 65% and 75% as well. Three space bars were included along with a keycap puller. The keys are a bit tall, but not overly so. The height was very close to the full clears they replaced, and a mm or two taller than the frosted caps (polycarbonite glorious defused clears) used along side them on my keyboard. These are slightly heavier than the other keycaps also in use. The sound profile of the PBT is a bit lower in frequency than the caps made of PC, with the thickness of the cap side walls and top make it sound even lower. Typically higher frequencys are more bothersome to people than lower ones of the same volume. These sounded less harsh, sharp, and clicky than the frosted polycarbonite caps when used on the same key switches, despite it being the same actual volume. The under side of the caps have the standard + compatable with cherry and other brands of switches including HyperX. Around the + these caps feature significant reinforcement with perfect tolerances for the switches I was using. The stability of these keys is top knotch with no wobble at all. These are double shot PBT with a opaque white/clear bottom and black top. When light isnt passing through the keys look black and white. They look good even when the RGB is turned off. With active lighting the caps glow from beneath along with the legend marking on top as well. This system of legend marking is my favorite as it is highly visable both day and night. Add to this the marking will never rub off and its a hard system to better. The light diffusion is excellent providing very even lighting color, brightness, and blending. The feel of the keys when typing or playing is that of high control. The texture has just that, a tiny bit of texture. Just enough to make sure your finger should never slip off a key unintended. The PBT pudding texture used here feels so good to me. Like just a little bit of the rubbery feel, but not rubbery at all (if that makes sense). Its just a tiny bit soft with good grip, but nothing to wear out and diminish over time. So in summary, these are high quality premium keycaps that come with a premium price tag. You get what you pay for. If your are looking for pudding key caps in the black and white ascetic with good comfortable key control and a lower frequency click... these are spot on. The extra included alien and topographical space bars are an excellent bonus. All in all, these are built such that they should last a lifetime. Good quality materials and a great design.

Easy placement and they look better than the ones I had on before.

These are good, but they do wear out. I purchased HyperXs previous Pudding Keycaps [ASIN: B087QTWCTQ] in 2022 (which were released in 2020), and the matte-like texture of the keys became glossier and smoothed out with frequent use. Especially the WASD and spacebar since I use those for gaming. The base keys in this HyperX Pudding Keycaps 2 set appear to be identical to their previous set, except for a few extras. Such as 3 different spacebar designs. So I expect a similar wear rate. I dislike the new key removal tool. It looks cool but is awkward to use, especially on larger keys. You must use your fingers to manually widen the two metal arms for each key, whereas the plastic removal tool from the old set was already properly spaced. It worked much quicker and easier than this new metal design. Other than the tool, I do like this set. Its a close match to the original ABS on my HyperX Alloy Elite 2 keyboard, only better. The best part about these keys (other than being PBT) is the lighting. They are frosted white on the lower portion so that light shines through. They are only black at the top. I do think it would look cooler if the white part was clear rather than frosted, but regardless, they do allow RGB colors to shine through much better than solid-color keys. Overall, Im happy with this set and like the feel of the PBT keys on my fingertips. I realize its only a matter of time before the tops start smoothing out, so its not a permanent solution, but it is a good one. I like the spacebar design with the wavy lines in it, which I can swap out with the other two options to change things up. I recommend this set but do warn that wear time depends on frequency of use.
