Know before you buy
Yes, as long as your keyboard uses MX-style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. It is designed for the R1 row, making it ideal for the ESC key position.
The S01-A is compatible with most MX-style switches and clones, including Gateron, Kailh, and Outemu, provided they utilize the standard cross-mount stem design.
Aluminum offers a denser, more substantial feel under the finger compared to traditional ABS or PBT plastic. The matte anodized finish provides a smooth, cool-to-the-touch texture that adds a premium tactile element to your typing experience.
The laser-etched details are integrated into the anodized surface, making them highly resistant to fading or wearing away through normal daily use. The anodization process itself creates a durable, hardened layer that protects the finish.
While it is physically compatible with any MX-style switch, it is specifically sculpted in the R1 profile. This means it is designed to match the height and angle of the top row (ESC/F-row) and may look or feel out of place if placed on the alphanumeric rows.
