Ok so im going to buy a Steelseries Apex Pro, and was wondering if the HyperX Pudding keycaps are compatible with it, the website of HyperX says compatible with most mechanical keyboards, but i want to make sure they are.

Yes, the Apex Pro would work with those keycaps.

The HyperX keycaps are made for Cherry MX or Cherry MX-Like keyswitches, which the Apex Pro uses MX-Like keyswitches. Plus, the bottom row of the Apex Pro is standard, so because of those two facts it will work with those keycaps.

 

Do mind the keycap standard though, ISO vs. ANSI.

In simple terms, make sure the Enter matches between the two boards and the left shift too:
