Know before you buy
This keycap is designed with a standard cross-style stem, making it fully compatible with Cherry MX switches and most other MX-style mechanical switches from brands like Gateron, Kailh, and Outemu.
The keycap features specialized cutouts for the eyes, allowing the light from your keyboard's under-switch LEDs to shine through. It works best on keyboards with per-key RGB or single-color backlighting.
The keycap is crafted from high-quality, durable resin. This material is standard for artisan keycaps as it allows for intricate detailing and a solid, premium feel compared to standard ABS or PBT plastic caps.
Because this is an artisan keycap with a unique sculpted profile, it is most commonly used as a decorative 'escape' key or on the function row. While it will physically fit on any MX-compatible switch, its height and shape may differ from your standard keycap profile.
No, this is a sculptural artisan keycap designed for aesthetic purposes. It does not feature any alphanumeric legends, making it best suited for non-typing keys like the Escape key or a dedicated macro key.
