Know before you buy
This keycap is designed for standard MX-style cross-stem switches, which are common on most mechanical keyboards. However, it is not compatible with K Pro switches or Keychron Camo switches.
The 1.75u size refers to the width of the keycap, which is standard for the Caps Lock key on most mechanical keyboard layouts. Please ensure your current Caps Lock key is the same size before purchasing.
The aluminum alloy provides a cooler, more substantial, and premium tactile feel compared to traditional ABS or PBT plastic. The matte finish ensures it remains comfortable to touch during extended typing sessions.
The silicone buttons are decorative accents designed to mimic the look and feel of a retro gamepad. They do not act as additional mechanical switches and are intended for aesthetic purposes only.
The keycap is finished with an anodizing process, which bonds the color to the aluminum at a molecular level. This makes the surface highly resistant to scratching and fading, even with frequent use.
