Know before you buy
Yes, the Astronskull keycap features a standard MX-style cross stem, making it compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX switches or clones.
The keycap is designed with translucent sections in the eyes, allowing the light from your keyboard's existing per-key LEDs to shine through for a glowing effect.
The 'Other' profile indicates a custom artisan shape that does not conform to standard OEM or Cherry profiles. Because of its unique sculptural design, it is best suited for non-typing keys like the Escape key or a macro cluster rather than the main alphanumeric rows.
The keycap is crafted from high-quality, durable resin designed to withstand regular use. However, as an artisan piece with intricate details, it is best treated as a decorative accent rather than a high-traffic key.
The Astronskull features a Navy base with a distinct Cream face and Aquamarine visor. Please note that because these are handcrafted artisan keycaps, there may be very slight variations in color application compared to mass-produced plastic keys.
