Know before you buy
The MW Alhambra Artisan set includes three metal keycaps in total: one 2U keycap and two 1U keycaps.
These artisans are designed for use with Cherry MX style switches, which are the standard for most mechanical keyboards.
The MW profile is a proprietary design by Milkyway. It offers a unique sculpted shape that balances ergonomics with a distinct aesthetic profile compared to standard OEM or Cherry profiles.
Because these are metal artisans, they are heavier than standard plastic keycaps. You may notice a slightly different sound signature and tactile feedback when typing on these specific keys compared to the rest of your set.
To maintain the finish, wipe them down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface texture and craftsmanship of the metal.
