Know before you buy
The HKP Pharaoh keycap is designed with a standard cross-shaped stem, making it compatible with all Cherry MX switches and most MX-style clones from brands like Gateron, Kailh, and Outemu.
Yes, the keycap is designed to be backlit. The red crown jewel accent is specifically crafted to interact with your keyboard's LED lighting, creating a striking glow that complements cool-toned backlighting.
This is a handcrafted artisan keycap made from high-quality resin. The matte white finish provides a unique, premium texture that differs from standard injection-molded ABS or PBT plastic caps.
While the stem is compatible with any MX-style switch, artisan keycaps like this are typically sculpted for the top row (R1/Esc row) to ensure the design is fully visible and does not interfere with surrounding keys.
To maintain the matte finish and the detail of the resin, gently wipe the keycap with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish or the red accent.
