Know before you buy
No, the Keychron Sword Artisan Keycap is designed exclusively for normal-profile MX-style switches. It is not compatible with low-profile switches.
Not at all. The keycap is designed to allow your keyboard's backlight to shine through, creating a glowing effect that complements the 3D stereoscopic design.
This keycap follows the standard Cherry profile, making it a seamless addition to most mechanical keyboard layouts that use Cherry-profile keycap sets.
At 8.5g, it is slightly heavier than a standard plastic keycap, but it is unlikely to cause noticeable switch fatigue or performance issues during normal typing.
The keycap is CNC engraved and anodized, which provides a highly durable, scratch-resistant finish that maintains its color and texture over time.
