Pudding V2 PBT Doubleshot Keycaps for Enhanced Backlighting and Layout Compatibility

Upgrade the look and feel of your mechanical keyboard with the Pudding V2 keycap set. Designed for enthusiasts seeking improved backlight diffusion and a durable typing surface, these keycaps are moulded from thick PBT plastic using a doubleshot process. This ensures the translucent side-printed legends are permanent and won't fade. The distinctive two-tone design features a white top layer and a black lower section, creating a high-contrast "pudding" style that stands out. Available in multiple pre-configured kits, this set offers a precise fit for a wide range of popular keyboard layouts, from compact 60% boards to full-size models.

Features and Construction

The Pudding V2 keycaps are built with specific materials and manufacturing techniques to deliver a practical upgrade for mechanical keyboards.

Material and Build

Crafted from PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) plastic, these keycaps offer a textured surface that resists the glossy shine caused by finger oils over time. The legends are created using a doubleshot moulding process, where a second plastic layer forms the character. For the Pudding V2, this layer is translucent and positioned on the keycap's side, allowing backlight from compatible keyboards to pass through brightly. This construction method makes the legends highly durable and eliminates the issue of printed legends wearing away.

Size and Practical Fit

The keycaps are produced in the OEM profile, a common height and curvature standard. The set is sold in specific layout kits, each containing the exact number and row-profile keys needed for compatibility. Options include kits for Poker-style 60% layouts, 87-key TKL (Tenkeyless) boards, 104 or 108-key full-size keyboards, and compact layouts like the GH60, XD64, XD68, and XD84. This ensures you receive all necessary keys, including spacebars, modifiers, and navigation keys, tailored for your specific keyboard's size and layout standard (ANSI or ISO).

Uses and Placement

These keycaps are suited for both personal customisation and functional improvement in various settings.

Event or Professional Use

For streamers, content creators, or professionals working in low-light environments, the enhanced side-illumination improves key legend visibility on camera and for the user. The consistent PBT texture and doubleshot durability provide a reliable typing experience during long sessions, making them suitable for office or gaming station setups where keyboard aesthetics and functionality are a priority.

Everyday Home Use

At home, these keycaps allow users to personalise their mechanical keyboard with a distinctive look that complements RGB lighting setups. The practical benefit of oil-resistant PBT plastic means the keycaps maintain their matte appearance longer with regular use. Swapping keycaps is a straightforward way to refresh an existing keyboard without purchasing an entirely new peripheral.

Benefits and Buying Value

The value of this product lies in its material construction, aesthetic enhancement, and precise compatibility.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

The durable PBT plastic and doubleshot legends are designed for long-term use. The keycaps can be transferred between compatible keyboards if you upgrade your board later. Maintenance is simple, requiring only occasional cleaning with a damp cloth, thanks to the plastic's resilience.

Why Choose This Product

This Pudding V2 set stands out by combining the functional benefit of translucent side-printing for backlighting with the practical durability of doubleshot PBT. Rather than offering a generic one-size-fits-all set, it provides targeted kit options. This ensures you get a proper fit for your specific keyboard layout—whether it's a compact Poker, a TKL, a full-size board, or a niche layout like XD68—avoiding the frustration of missing or incompatible keys.
