pudding key cap question.

[🖤Lyra🖤]

I have a Black Widow X Chroma keyboard and iv'e been stuck on whether or not the pudding key caps will work for my keyboard. Thxs if anyone can help me with this question i'm pretty new when it comes to custom key caps.

If the original keycaps are cherry MX stems, they should work. Is your switches the ones with the raised edges on the stem or just the regular switch stem?

I'm not sure i just know they are green switches for the razer chroma so i guess it's regular.

Just pull out one of the switches and check. Razer updated their keyboards awhile back and the newer switches have the raised edges. This is how the new switches look like

Mine looks just like that however it does not have the curved plastic just the plus.

Then they should work fine. Here's an image I found of the pudding keycaps on your keyboard

You should check just to be sure which year your keyboard is from since the older Razer keyboards used a different layout.

From what I can find it’s switch design was from 2010 I’d have to do more research but I think the pudding keys should be compatible hopefully since my switches aren’t anything fancy they are standard green switches no raised sides on them like the new ones have so I’ll probably pick these custom key caps up and give them a try I don’t see why they couldn’t work I looked online at the pudding keys and they have basically the exact same look as my keys do where it’s just a plus symbol underneath the key cap.

This is what my keyboard looks like the Imgur pic looks like mine but it’s missing some things on it.
