Know before you buy
This keycap is designed for any keyboard that uses Cherry MX style stems, which feature the standard cross-shaped mount. It is compatible with most mechanical keyboards on the market today.
The keycap is designed to allow light from your keyboard's internal LEDs to shine through the eye sockets. For the best visual effect, place this keycap on a switch that has an integrated backlight.
The Specter keycap is crafted from durable resin. While it features a silver finish, it is a lightweight, high-quality resin casting rather than a metal component.
Because this is an artisan keycap with a unique profile, it may sit at a different height or angle than your standard keys. It is best suited for isolated positions like the Escape key or a function row key where profile consistency is less critical.
Yes, as a handmade artisan piece, there may be slight variations in the finish or color application compared to mass-produced keycaps. These minor differences are part of the charm and authenticity of the Hot Keys Project design process.
