Sadly the keys are not programmable (, although those caps are awesome though and not over done RGB for a change.

well for $24.99 as long as the switch stems are "+" style and has a standard bottom row, you can just get the pudding caps for any other keyboard.

@sneekypeet - am looking at replacing my Corsair K68 board with the Alloy Origins + those gorgeous pudding keycaps and was wondering, how big the font is on the pudding keycaps? Is it about the same size as the lettering found on my K68? I need nice big lettering. Thanks for your time

sneekypeet · Jul 10, 2020

@Gmr_Chick

Hyperx on the left k and k70se k on the right. I will say brightness through the pudding is intense on the hyperx keyboard, so size might not matter so much for visibility sake.

Gmr_Chick · Jul 10, 2020

EXACTLY what I needed to see, thanks a lot! Definitely going to be purchasing the keycaps and the board now

I think you may be right. Those pudding keycaps definitely allow more light to shine through compared to the standard Corsair keys, and I actually prefer that over the Corsair offering. When changing the lighting via iCue, I can't use many colors due to the lack of "light bleed", so colors like red, blue, purple...pretty much any dark color is REALLY difficult for me to see on my K68. About the only colors I can comfortably use are white and lime green. So I'll definitely be buying a set of these pudding caps

Just dropped $150 on keyboard extra parts for the gf to get back working again (she's brilliant but needs a boost) after baby and she's happy and ready to go. :clap:

New energy in the household. Woohoo! :clap:

Once again, every 3months. :laugh:

Dayum, that's a sexy blue, I LOVE that cable. :love:

As you can see, I have no color in my life.

Got a used G Skill KM570, mx silver switches. Haven't quite figured out the rgb lighting just yet. (taking a break from my Das Keyboard)

Here's my HyperX alloy fps rgb with pudding caps. need to buy a UK set though as this is not a full set.

iBruceypoo · May 25, 2021

It ain't pretty - it's a workin' keyboard.

clack clack clackity clack. :clap:

HHKB Hybrid Type-S in charcoal with charcoal PBT printed keycaps and seldom used white PBT printed keycaps (cuz, I can't remember where the numbers are

)

Spacebar is also PBT.

I have a love for Topre mech KB's, here's my collection....Topre Type Heaven with blue PBT keycaps. Below it are my two HHKB Pro 2's.

Here's my RealForce 104UB 55G, really love the heavier switch....with 3rd party yellow PBT keycaps.

I took these pics a while back, I have two more, both are CM Nova touch keyboards with custom keycaps, will take pics of them soon as possible, I have them stored somewhere....

For me, Topre is the most comfortable switch for long hours of work - fun for gaming also.

I've never used the 55g Topre, only the standard HHKB 45g.

We have (2)HHKBs in the house, gf is using the older Pro 2 Type S in white below:

Time to dig this back up, potential upgrade material:

They finally realized that the color options were, to say the least, controversial.

I really need some nice keycaps with transparent lettering and the fn keys printed on them though finding a set that corresponds to my keyboards fn keys might be a struggle.

I love my little hotswap keyboard between it, my otg cable for my mouse and the new portable screen coming in a few weeks it should make my road warrior setup on my phone pretty practical.

Only thing confusing me on mine is the enter key, can't seem to find one with the same key shape. But yes I love this KB, had loads over the last few years, Corsiar, HyperX, Anne pro II probably others and this is my one. going to find a st of HyperX pudding caps for it (maybe)

Isn't this the ISO UK layout?

It is, that is why i bought it, the Anne pro II was not. Keep buying keyboards and getting a non UK layout. Is the UK layout a different key layout then? does that explain the differing Enter key.

Indeed, mine is the US version. Most boards here share a similar enter key shape, ones like yours are rare as hens teeth over here.
