Know before you buy
This keycap features a standard cross-shaped stem, making it compatible with all Cherry MX switches and most other mechanical switches that use the same MX-style mount.
The SA R1 profile is a tall, sculpted keycap shape typically used for the top row of your keyboard, such as the function or number keys. Because of its height, it will stand out significantly compared to standard OEM or Cherry profile keys.
No, this keycap is not backlit. It features a solid, hand-painted design encased in resin, so light from your keyboard's LEDs will not shine through the artisan portion.
The keycap comes with protective gloves to help you install it without leaving fingerprints. To clean, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust; avoid using harsh chemicals or alcohol, which can damage the resin finish.
While it is designed for the R1 (top) row, you can technically place it on any row that uses a standard 1u keycap. Keep in mind that its height and profile are specifically sculpted for the top row, so it may feel taller or differently angled if placed elsewhere.
