This article covers the KiiBOOM Nyapurin — Cute Cat and Pudding Design PC Translucent Keycap Set. The short version: it is a very satisfying way to change the look of an RGB keyboard.
Because of its material and printing method, though, it is less suited to a work keyboard that you type on for hours every day.
Overview
KiiBOOM's Nyapurin set (sometimes listed as Meow Pudding) is a cat-and-pudding themed keycap set. It is made of translucent polycarbonate (PC) with UV-cured printed legends, uses the MAO profile, and contains 134 keys.
The product data describes the profile as MAO with a cat-paw shape, a rounded top that cradles the fingertip.

That is a strong score for the number of reviews. Keep in mind that keycap reviews are often written right after unboxing, so they rarely reflect shine or legend wear after months of use.
Translucent PC spreads backlight across the whole cap, so on an RGB keyboard each key glows softly, much like pudding. That is the main reason to buy this set.
With 134 keys covering layouts from 60% to full size, it is easy to move between keyboards.
Compatibility Guide
The set fits Cherry MX and most MX-style switches, including Kailh, Gateron and Outemu switches with a cross-shaped stem. Magnetic switches usually work as long as the stem is a standard MX cross, but stem tolerances vary, so check that your keyboard lists MX-compatible keycap support.
It does not fit low-profile, optical or electrostatic capacitive switches. For example, standard HHKB and REALFORCE boards use electrostatic capacitive switches and will not take these keycaps without modification.
| Layout | Listed support | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| 60% | Yes | Right Shift and spacebar lengths match your PCB |
| 65% / 75% | Yes | 1u bottom-right modifiers and a short right Shift |
| TKL | Yes | Standard ANSI boards are rarely a problem |
| 96% | Yes | Positions of the compact layout's special keys |
| Full size (104-key) | Yes | Tall numpad keys (+ and Enter) |
The biggest caveat is the Japanese (JIS) layout. The 104-key figure refers to the US ANSI layout.
The data does not say whether the set includes the JIS tall Enter, the conversion and kana keys, or a short spacebar. If you plan to use it on a JIS board, check the key breakdown in the listing photos first.
Height is the other point. MAO is generally considered taller than Cherry or OEM profiles.
On a keyboard that already has a high case, the keys sit even higher and your wrists bend more, so plan on using a palm rest. Some profiles also vary in shape by row, so check the markings on the underside or the row order before installing to avoid mix-ups.

It changes with sales and stock, so check the product page before buying. That is affordable for a 134-key designer set and cheaper than premium dye-sub PBT or double-shot sets.
Only the keycaps are included, with no keycap puller. If your keyboard did not come with one, buy one separately.
A wire puller is less likely to scratch the sides of translucent PC caps. The set reportedly launched in late 2025 and is sold mainly online.

How the Material and Printing Behave
PC looks clear and vivid, but its surface is softer than PBT. Over time it tends to develop shine where your fingers land.
It also tends to sound a little higher-pitched and lighter than PBT. These are differences in character rather than defects, but do not expect a lasting textured feel.
UV-cured printing places the legends on the surface. Dye-sublimation soaks ink into the plastic and double-shot molds the legend from a second plastic, so both last longer.
With heavy daily use, legends on WASD and keys around the spacebar may fade first, especially for gamers who press the same keys constantly.
Translucent caps glow as a whole rather than only through the legend. Keys are easy to find in a dark room, but how readable the legends are depends on your backlight color and brightness.
White or pale lighting can wash the legends out.
Comparison with Alternatives
There are many cat-themed and rounded-profile sets. What sets this one apart is translucent PC.
| Aspect | Nyapurin (this set) | Cat-themed dye-sub PBT | High-profile ABS double-shot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Translucent PC | PBT (mostly opaque) | ABS |
| Legends | UV-cured print | Dye-sublimation | Double-shot |
| Light transmission | Whole cap glows | Barely any | Generally none |
| Shine | Prone | Resistant | Prone |
| Best for | Showing off RGB | Long-term daily use | Legends that do not wear off |
A simple rule: pick Nyapurin for RGB, and pick a dye-sub PBT cat set if you will not use backlighting and want it to last. Double-shot is the choice if legend durability matters most, but you will find far fewer cat designs.
Recommended Users
① People with an RGB keyboard who want to change how it glows. The soft, spread-out light from translucent PC is this set's main strength.
② Cat lovers who want a cozy-looking desk. It is cheerful to look at every time you type, but the design can look out of place in a formal office, so it suits home setups best.
③ People using ANSI keyboards from 60% to full size who want an affordable swap. With 134 keys, the set moves easily between layouts.
④ Anyone shopping for a gift for a cat-loving friend. Confirm first that their keyboard uses MX-style stems and an ANSI layout.
Before You Buy
Much of the appeal is lost without backlighting. Translucent PC is made to be lit.
On an unlit keyboard, a dye-sub PBT cat set will likely satisfy you more because it resists shine and its legends hold up better.
Accept that shine and legend wear will happen. PC with UV-cured legends will not stay like new for years.
On a keyboard you use for hours every workday, expect the most-used keys to change first.
Check JIS support. The set appears to target ANSI, and the data does not show JIS-specific keys.
Without them, some of your original keycaps will stay on the board.
Some switches are not supported. Low-profile, optical and electrostatic capacitive keyboards will not work, and neither will laptop keyboards.
Mind your wrists with a tall profile. Pair it with a palm rest on high-case keyboards.
No puller is included, so buy one if you need it.
Do not take the 60% in the Japanese product name literally. The listing title ends with 134キーセット 60%, but the data lists support for 65%, 75%, TKL, 96% and full size too.
The product name also varies between Nyapurin, ニャンプリン and Meow Pudding across stores. To avoid buying a similar-looking set, confirm the product by its photos and ASIN B0G52QVF9R.
