Know before you buy
The Captain Sterling 10K Artisan is designed to fit standard mechanical switches with a cross-stem mount, such as Cherry MX and their clones. It is specifically a Row 1 keycap, meaning it is intended for the top row of your keyboard, such as the number or function row.
The Aiglatson Hexagonal Profile features a unique geometric shape that differs from standard cylindrical or spherical keycaps. While it provides a distinct tactile feel and a modern aesthetic, it is primarily designed as a decorative accent piece rather than for heavy typing use.
The enamel infill is set into a durable anodized aluminum base, making it quite resilient for standard desktop use. However, like all artisan keycaps with intricate detailing, it is best treated as a collectible to maintain the vibrancy of the enamel over time.
This keycap is constructed from high-quality anodized aluminum. This material choice provides a premium weight and a smooth, matte finish that is significantly more durable than standard plastic keycaps.
Because the keycap is made of solid anodized aluminum, it is opaque and will not allow light to shine through the cap itself. It is best suited for keyboards where you prefer a solid, metallic aesthetic over per-key RGB illumination.
