HyperX Refreshes Pudding Keycaps for Enhanced RGB Lighting and Improved Durability

btarunr · May 26, 2020

HyperX, the gaming division of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., today announced the release of refreshed HyperX Pudding Keycaps for mechanical gaming keyboards. Available in both black and white "pudding" color editions, the new HyperX Pudding Keycaps use a translucent dual-layer design to enhance LED and RGB lighting, allowing more light to radiate for extra brilliance.

The new dual-layer "pudding" design uses double shot construction with PBT material to provide style and reliability, ensuring long-lasting durability, resilience and keycap legends that won't fade like standard keycaps. The new pudding keycaps also feature a signature HyperX font to provide added style and optimal shine-through capabilities, improving the look and feel of the ultimate professional gaming keyboard. Compatible with all HyperX mechanical gaming keyboards and keyboards featuring Cherry MX style switch stems, the HyperX Pudding Keycaps also include a keycap removal tool.

The new HyperX Pudding Keycaps utilize a seamless double shot injection molding process that offers thicker keycap walls that are ultra-durable and oil resistant. HyperX Pudding Keycaps are backed by a limited two-year warranty with HyperX support.

Availability
The HyperX Pudding Keycaps are available for $24.99 MSRP through the HyperX online shop. For more information and availability on the keycaps, please visit the HyperX Pudding Keycaps product page.

They look the same as the old ones to me.

Kinda what I wanted to see for a while now, a normal keycap but then with a thing piece of metal (aluminium for example) on top to combat any wear and tear

well I am now trying to decide which colour to get

People have been bugging Logitech to do something similar to these caps. It a shame 3rd companies are not allowed to make caps for Logitech keyboards.

Seamless legends vs seams before, and a slightly different/larger font as a result to also allow more light through.

I've got the originals and quite like them, no wear and tear issues

cucker tarlson · May 27, 2020
