Know before you buy
This keycap is designed for Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem mount. It is compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use this common layout.
The crown jewel is designed to catch and diffuse your keyboard's existing backlight. When installed over an LED, it creates a warm, glowing effect that highlights the intricate details of the Pharaoh design.
Yes, it is crafted from high-quality, durable resin. While it is designed as an artisan piece for aesthetic customization, it is robust enough to withstand regular use on your primary keyboard.
As an artisan keycap, the profile is unique and may not perfectly match the height or slope of standard Cherry, OEM, or SA profiles. It is best used as a standalone accent key, such as on an Escape key or a function row, where a slight height difference is less noticeable.
Each Pharaoh Darkness keycap is handcrafted by Hot Keys Project. Because they are artisan-made, you may notice slight variations in the finish that make each individual piece unique.
