Know before you buy
The Specter keycap is designed for Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. It is compatible with most mechanical switches from brands like Gateron, Kailh, and Cherry.
The keycap is designed to allow light from your keyboard's existing LEDs to pass through the eyes. If your keyboard has per-key backlighting, the eyes will glow when the light is active.
This keycap is crafted from durable resin. This material is standard for artisan caps as it allows for intricate detailing and a high-quality finish.
This product includes one single artisan keycap. It is intended to be used as a decorative accent piece, typically on an escape key or a function row key.
The Specter Midnight features a neutral grey and deep blue palette, making it versatile enough to pair with many dark-themed or cool-toned keycap sets. Because it is an artisan piece, it is designed to stand out as a focal point rather than blend in perfectly with standard uniform sets.
