Pudding Keycaps: Enhance Your RGB Keyboard

What are pudding keycaps?

Because of their distinctive two-layer construction—the appearance of the transparent layer coupled with the solid color layer—pudding keycaps are named after their style, much like pudding.  Pudding keycaps are intended to improve the mechanical keyboard's illumination effect.

Pudding keycaps-the best partner for RGB

RGB is an important function for mechanical keyboards. Users can customize the color and the style of the RGB to create a unique style for the keyboard. The biggest feature of the pudding keycaps is their unique double-layer design: the upper layer is opaque, while the lower layer is transparent or translucent.  When the RGB meets pudding keycaps, the light shines through the translucent underlayer of the keycaps, creating a soft, non-glaring lighting effect, making the keyboard particularly eye-catching in dim light environments.

If you are seeking uniqueness and personalization, pudding keycaps and RGB combinations offer you unlimited customization possibilities. You can adjust the color and the mode of the light; even you can make it go the same with your gaming scenario.

Yes, the pudding keycaps and RGB combination not only improve the appearance and functionality of the keyboard but also bring more happiness and satisfaction to users. And we believe that with the development of the technology and the increase in customization needs, the pudding keycaps with RGB can bring us more surprises.

What are pudding keycaps made of?

PBT and abs are commonly used to make pudding keycaps. PBT is the material of choice at AKKO for making pudding keycaps. PBT is an expert in resilience to wear and tear. The keyboard's texture and shine can be preserved even with frequent use.

In addition, the pudding keycaps feature a clever double-layer design. This gives them a thicker, more substantial appearance, in addition to improving their appearance. The keycaps' characters are made of double-color injection molding or dye-sublimation, and they are incredibly clear and vibrant.

Thus, you might as well experience the pleasure and lightness the next time you tap the pudding keycaps.

Pudding Keycaps vs Regular Keycaps

Pudding keycaps differ significantly from regular keycaps in a number of ways. These variations impact the use experience and relevant scenarios in addition to look and material. A thorough comparison of these two keycaps is provided below, covering a range of factors including appearance, feel, substance, light transmittance, and sound.

1. Design

Dual-layer Pudding keycaps with a translucent body and an opaque top. Standard keycaps have a single-layered design.

2. Diffusion of Light

Pudding keycaps: when the LED light from behind is seen through the keycaps, a unique light effect can be produced. The keycaps have a dual-layer, translucent construction. 

Normal keycaps: these are often opaque, solid designs without any special light-transmission effects. They therefore don't have the same visual effect as pudding keycaps.

3. Visual Appeal

Pudding keycaps: Their luminous effect gives them a unique appearance. The translucent lower layer can intensify the color and vibrancy of RGB lights, improving the keyboard's overall aesthetic appeal.

Regular keycaps: Depending on the material, color, and design, they can have a very different appearance. Under backlighting, they might not look as striking, particularly if they are completely opaque.

4. Individualization

Pudding keycaps: Because of their dual-layer construction, they come in a range of colors and styles, although the keycap design is often uniform.

Regular keycaps: A greater range of profiles, colors, and styles are available. Custom keycaps offer a higher level of personalization because they may be manufactured with a variety of materials and designs.

5. Application

Pudding keycaps: These are great for customers who want individualized and stylish effects because of their distinct light transmittance and light effect presentation.

Standard keycaps: Primarily utilized in everyday business or residential settings, with an emphasis on functionality rather than aesthetics.
