10 Best Mechanical Keyboard Keycaps UK 2024 | Razer, HK Gaming and More

The creators of this keycap set have clearly run with the idea of the keyboard as an art canvas. This one is inspired by Ukiyo-e, Japanese woodblock paintings – specifically, the famous print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa.

The beautiful colour scheme, the exquisite illustrations, and the charming font all combine to make a remarkable keycap set that'll make you never want to use a regular keyboard again. It even comes with 104 caps, so it'll fit any style of keyboard.

The colourful glow of an RGB keyboard is the perfect finishing touch to your PC setup. But did you know that you can make yours look even better? These keycaps have four transparent sides, allowing your keyboard's coloured lights to shine brightly in multiple directions. 

This makes them an essential purchase for gamers, especially as the characters are also translucent, meaning you can use your keyboard in the dark! Don't fear if you've gone with a darker colour scheme for your setup – they're also available in black as well as several other colours. 

From translucent ones to those covered in illustrations, it's now possible to get your hands on all sorts of weird and wonderful keycap sets. Perhaps you're looking for something straightforward, however, and you'd simply like to decorate your keyboard with your favourite colour.

What makes these keycaps stand out is that they're made of rubber, which gives them a grippy surface. And while some may think it's a shame that you only get 18 caps rather than a full set, this is actually ideal for gaming, where it helps to have your hands drawn towards certain areas of the keyboard.

These keycaps are special. While most sets feature tiny images on individual keys, this one's illustration instead stretches across several keys. The result is a keyboard that looks more like a work of art than a computer gadget! 

The keyboard even features Japanese characters, which makes it extra useful if you frequently switch between the English and Japanese languages. It's a beautiful keycap collection, and its popular Cherry profile is a great middle-ground for a first set.

Let's be honest – RGB keyboards are wasted most of the time as the keycaps block the majority of their light. That's why these translucent keycaps from Razer make so much sense. Light is able to shine through them, turning your keyboard into a beautiful display of colour.

Their brightness makes them the perfect addition to a gaming setup that you can play in the dark. One option also comes with a coiled cable to keep your desk tidy. These durable doubleshot PBT caps have a premium look and feel and are universally compatible. 

For most people, much of the time we spend at a keyboard involves doing things we'd rather not be doing. What better way to liven up your workday – or a plain deskspace – than this bright, candy-inspired keycap set?

A single colour can brighten up your keyboard, but two can transform it completely. As well as blue and pink, you can also choose from other pairings, such as purple and gold, and green and yellow. This set only includes 61 keys, but its affordable price reflects this. 

The panda is perhaps the most easy-going creature in the animal kingdom. This keycap set has a similarly laid-back appearance. Its soft, natural bamboo colour scheme makes a nice change from the usual black or white and the panda illustrations are undeniably cute. 

The XDA profile, which is fairly low-set and similar in pitch to Cherry, is known for being a good option for both gaming and typing. The only downside is that because not all the caps feature text, it could be difficult to know what some of the keys do.

Combining small illustrations and a subtle, plantlife-inspired colour scheme, this set has a charming botanical theme that will instantly add style to a white keyboard. Similarly, it'd be the perfect complement to a modern, minimalist office or gaming area. 

The 141-piece set is suitable for most keyboards and both ANSI and ISO layouts as options for both are included. The PBT keys are also good quality with a matte texture and anti-grease coating for assurance of durability. While pricier than some sets, many users comment on its premium-quality feel and vibrant colours.

State-of-the-art gaming setups go hand-in-hand with the cyberpunk aesthetic. This one uses the neon-red and -blue colour scheme so commonly found in imagined dystopian futures and it'd perfectly complement one of the many cyberpunk-inspired games currently available. 

With 157 pieces in its full-size base set as well as some extra novelty caps, it's a good option for owners of full-size mechanical keyboards. We can't ignore that price tag, though – again, this is an expensive upgrade. But if you've got your heart set on a futuristic-looking gaming setup, it's more than worth it.

Once upon a time, Comic Sans was absolutely everywhere, and the font has now fallen out of favour due to its overuse. These keycaps use it in the right way – by pairing it with tiny cartoon illustrations in this set named 'graffiti'.

Appealing to all ages but especially younger users, these caps also have an XDA profile which is short, uniform and simple to get to grips with. Just make sure you're familiar with what each key does before you replace them, as several of these caps don't contain text.
