Know before you buy
This keycap is designed for normal profile mechanical keyboards using MX-style (cross-stem) switches. It will not fit low-profile switches or non-MX stems.
A 2u size indicates the keycap is twice the width of a standard 1u key, typically used for keys like Backspace, Numpad Enter, or the Numpad 0 key. Please ensure your keyboard layout has a 2u space available in the position where you intend to place it.
The keycap is crafted from high-grade aluminum alloy using CNC engraving and an anodizing process. This combination provides significant hardness and resistance to wear, ensuring the detailed 3D design remains intact over time.
No, the 'Power' and 'Reset' buttons are purely aesthetic embellishments. They are part of the artistic design and do not provide any mechanical functionality.
Anodizing is a robust electrochemical process that integrates color into the metal surface, making it much more durable than standard paint or plastic coatings. While it is highly resistant to daily wear, it should still be handled with care to avoid deep scratches from sharp metal objects.
