Know before you buy
The HKP Tank keycap is designed with a standard MX-style cross stem. It is compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX switches or clones with the same cross-mount design.
No, this keycap is made of solid resin with a Gold Bronze finish. It does not allow light to pass through, so it will block any backlighting underneath the key.
This artisan keycap is crafted from durable resin. It is built to withstand regular typing, though it is primarily intended as a decorative accent piece rather than for high-traffic keys like the spacebar.
Because of its unique Tank design and profile, it is best suited for non-standard positions like the Escape key, function row, or macro keys. Placing it on a primary typing key may feel uncomfortable due to the custom shape.
The finish is integrated into the resin construction, offering good resistance to fading. However, like all artisan keycaps, it should be handled with care to maintain the integrity of the detailed finish.
