Know before you buy
Yes, 'The Ramen Tiger' is designed to fit all standard MX-style stems. This includes Cherry MX switches and most other cross-mount mechanical switch brands.
The custom-milled aluminum provides a noticeably heavier, more premium feel than standard ABS or PBT plastic caps. The matte anodized finish offers a smooth, durable texture that resists shine and wear over time.
The design is laser-marked into the aluminum. This ensures the artwork is permanent and won't fade or peel off with regular use.
This artisan cap is designed as a standalone decorative piece. While it fits on any MX-style switch, it is intended to be a centerpiece and may sit at a different height or angle than your standard row profile.
You can clean the cap by gently wiping it with a soft, lint-free cloth. Because of the anodized finish, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface.
