Yes, it is crafted from durable, hand-poured resin intended for regular use. However, because it is an artisan piece with intricate details, it is best suited for non-primary keys like the Escape key or function row rather than high-traffic keys like the spacebar.
To keep the resin looking its best, gently wipe it with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners, as these can dull the finish or damage the intricate details of the design.
Artisan keycaps often have a unique profile and height compared to standard OEM or Cherry profile keys. It will likely sit slightly higher than your surrounding keys, making it a perfect choice for a standout accent key.
