From what I gathered, almost all of these pudding keycaps come from the same manufacturer. Eventually HyperX started working with Ducky on them so thats why Ducky also released their own versions where both have the clean uncut font. Def recommend the HyperX keycaps for a cleaner look.

[@CalebThornton]

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking they seem almost identical so its really not much of a comparison in a lot of ways. I was wondering why a lot of the fonts had that break in the lettering wherever it would normally be rounded out.

[@ZetaMotions]

i mean hyperx isnt really clean cause of the logo tbh

[@Quintenx]

@@ZetaMotions oh i think the logo is VERYYY clean :D (everyones hes own opinion :) )

[@captainminecraftist]

@@Quintenx yea haha I always hate being an advertisement for companies so I prefer the unbranded mono color look

[@captainminecraftist]

@@Quintenx the real thing is I cant decide between getting normal keybaord and getting puddings or getting like a fnatic streak65 and just having no side at all

[@BeemeBeeme]

Great review! Concise and honest, not to mention how you've linked separate reviews for each brand. I already have white pudding keycaps myself, but just wanted to see how other pudding keycaps compare.

[@CalebThornton]

Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching. :)

[@Divinity_vA]

I love the new G.Skill ones , they look very neat. I ordered DNA65 and some decent looking Akko Neon keycap set and in my head , it'd look great with some white G.Skill for the alphas. Will see how it turns out once everything arrives. As for the others , the HyperX seems to be the best bet in terms of quality and the font looks cleaner from what i can tell.

[@CalebThornton]

Nice choices! Sounds like it will look good all together 😀

[@gabrielegonzales]

Hey Caleb, great video! I was actually looking at some pudding key caps recently, so this is super helpful. Keep up the great work, your content is awesome :D

[@CalebThornton]

Thank you very much for the support!

[@Ensarkwh]

Which keycaps do have more thickness like high-end PBT keycaps if you would rank them?

[@nielsen27]

do you think glorious aura keycaps are similar to these quality wise? or are they better?

[@ferro_nimo]

Informative and straight to the point, thank you so much! Was thinking about buying the Tecware one, just for the alpha

[@kpadalldotablet1009]

If you look closely enough, the HyperX are miles above all the rest. Everything firsts together with tighter tolerances and EXTRA clean cut fonts. Look again and you'll see the lettering on the function and option keys are all CAPS, instead of Ctrl. This makes for a cleaner font cut too. The cleanest pudding caps are definitely HyperX. Too bad GSkill cheaped out and used ABS plastic. I think the Crystals look the best. Be aware too that the darker the plastic, the harder it is to see the lettering without back-lighting on.

[@lenanaH]

Thanks for the video! Are all these keycaps compatible with keychron k8 pro? TIA

[@jakebennett15]

So I have a royal Kludge RK68 which is a 65% layout. The ones I’m interested in are the G.Skill and the HK gaming caps. Will either one of these fit on that board?

[@randomdamian]

I'm now considering between Razer Phantom and the Gskill Crystal Crown, nice video!

[@nick1822]

I am looking to get a set of pudding keycaps. I just bought a Razer Hunstman V2 TKL and am disappointed with how dim the light shines through the keycaps. I love the texturing of them but they are just too dim. Razer's original keycaps have super skinny characters but the light shines through very well. I am very picky with characters on the keycaps and like when my shift key has "shift" spelled out instead of an arrow. I'm leaning towards the hyperx caps but haven't bought anything yet. Any suggestions?

[@MrE1981]

The font on the HyperX is different to the other frosted pudding style caps, unbroken lines eg the A - R - O - P and B letters.

[@jmstorrealba2711]

I think it would be also interesting for ISO users (like me), that you had commented the HK Gaming comes with additional ISO keycaps (Enter, small left shift, and slash), while the Hyperx only comes with ANSI. Big difference for me.

[@pranjalrai7364]

what is iso and ansi

[@jmstorrealba2711]

@@pranjalrai7364 deskthority.net/wiki/ANSI_vs_ISO deskthority.net/wiki/Region-specific_layouts ANSI = Mainly USA (I don't understand the reason for using this layout, I really hate the small enter key...) ISO = Europe and mainly the rest of the World.

[@TuanHamdani]

Is there any use for that 3plastic (minute 3.12) connecting to keycap pole? (i dont know what its called)...because 1 got a.set of cheap keycap that doesnt have the "plastic" and its make the sound more clickier...

[@user-jb5jt1mi5v]

Tell me pls which one are more similar to glorious aura v2, steelseries prismcaps or ducky pudding?

[@howlingwolfawooo8129]

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me out I have a black widow X chroma Razer keyboard and it uses green switches I think they are cherry switches I could be wrong. I’m looking for good quality pudding key caps to replace all the keys on the keybaord was wondering if you had any recommendations I’m looking for black pudding key caps. I made the mistake purchasing Tecware pudding key caps that were made for MX-Style switches and they didn’t work on the Razer X Chroma keybaord as the cross shape didn’t fit into the mold of the key cap on the back. Thank you!!

[@viperchrisz4]

One thing to note is the HyperX are the only ones without cuts in any characters with circles/full loops

[@CalebThornton]

I forgot to bring that out in video. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@dhoffnun]

Ducky also makes some nice ones without character breaks.

[@djmadrox7539]

that is because they use a better production technique. PBT Caps legends are not easy to burn in, and that shows compared to the lesser products.

[@FedjaHvastija]

@@djmadrox7539 It's actually a deliberate font choice in this case.

[@candicegailkerr]

Has anyone tried these Keycaps on the Corsair k70? I’m having a hard time finding ones that fit.

[@mohsin_sait]

What do you think about the Razer Phantom keycaps?

[@blumango4331]

Hopefully Razer Makes their own pudding keycaps so I don't have to replace the stabilizers on the Huntsman TE.

[@CalebThornton]

It seems like a good opportunity for them, so I am surprised they have not already

[@heyitsenygma]

The white tecware keycaps are my personal favorite on this list. I bought them after I saw your video on these.

[@CalebThornton]

Nice! I hope they work well for you 😀

[@matthewgarmendia7803]

i just bought them yesterday from amazon. i didnt get the hiper x ones bc they are never avalible in white.

[@fabiancouture2590]

I bought two sets of the black pudding Tecware caps for both my keyboards, and they look super nice!

[@iyeetsecurity922]

I bought the HKs because they were $10. I wasn't expecting any difference from the $20+ ones, and I was correct.

Does the gskill one transparency faded overtime?

The clear one makes 0 sense. I mean, why would anyone prefer that over a 0 side housing keycap (like the stock ones on roccat vulcan)?

[@alexanderresurreccion6710]

planning to buy pudding keycaps as well,but I'm using a 84key keyboard,which of these keycaps has the keycaps that fits into 84 keys??

[@powersx2508]

How can i get rid of hyperx logo on space bar because i will use that for another brand keyboard.

[@bluegizmo1983]

1:36 I'm pretty sure the HKGaming and Tecware are the exact same keycaps, just rebranded. The font is exactly the same and the molding stem dot at the top edge of the keys are in the exact same spot, and even the underside of the HKGaming and Tecware caps are the same at 3:15

[@JayzBeerz]

Should of added the Glorious PC Gaming pudding keycaps. They all look very similar.

[@CombatBanana]

I just ordered an atom 68 and I am planning on combining crystal alpha keys with frosted keys for everything else and all white keys.

[@MrBlitzpunk]

The gskill one would probably look good on an acrylic case, but for me i guess it'll look ugly as soon as i turn off the RGB

[@CalebThornton]

Yeah, that could look cool.

[@dmknght8946]

Very well made video :D

[@tarik2766]

Which is the more black keycaps? Because my keyboard is very dark and I dont want a washed black for the keycaps…

[@jakobbosch2283]

I have a hyperx alloy elite keyboard and i am wondering if the hyperx puddings work for me since my enter key is much bigger than most keyboards... Do they have both kinds of enterkeys or just the small rectangular one?

[@FedjaHvastija]

That's called an ISO keyboard layout (ANSI being the other one), so look for that in product specs.

[@Botzz28]

Are any of these the top quality puddings ? Are they any others that are more expensive better quality?

[@ximhuh9653]

Which would you say has the most height? Also out of 3 pudding keycaps which would you say is best for gaming

How do these fare compared to the glorious aura

[@firellio070]

I got the gskill crystals black because the branding on the hyperX pudding caps was killing my setup and the rgbs go hard. However going from abs from pbt makes my whole setup feel cheap and bottoming out acrylic is not a pleasant feeling (gaming). Thanks for this video, looks like I'll just get another pudding set just for the spacebar, XD

[@powerrulez8865]

The differences between the PBT keycaps is the height I think

[@MalcomMcLeod]

Are the fonts different?

[@briizzy9082]

I have the white hyperx double shot pbt caps and was a little hesitant to go with those because of the branding on the spacebar but mine actually just came with a normal spacebar and no branding. not sure if it was the white ones only that have that or what, but I love them!

[@CalebThornton]

Oh really! That is odd, I was just unlucky haha. I'm glad they are working well for you!

[@rohansam6308]

The double shot pudding Hyperx keycaps don’t have branding But the pudding ones which he has does

[@brutalci_hasbulla4086]

so like... if i buy hyperx pudding keycaps (US layout) i gotta buy keyboard (Us)??? or i can put them on any mechanical keyboard like redragon kumara k552?

[@noobricer]

As long as i know, any keyboard with US layout switches can use this. A lot off people used this on digital alliance, fantech, etc. No problem at all

[@CarAudioInc]

Since they're all virtually the same in terms of quality, I got mine from a brand on amazon called HZYZ. For some reason the white ones feel more quality than the blacks. I almost got the vibe that the blacks were actually ABS. Cheers!
