Know before you buy
This keycap is designed for Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. It will fit most mechanical keyboards that use this common mounting system.
The keycap is designed to allow light to pass through the eyes of the 'Dead Man' figure. When placed over an LED on your keyboard, the eyes will glow red, creating a distinct visual accent.
The keycap is crafted from durable resin. This material is standard for artisan caps as it allows for intricate detailing and a high-quality finish.
Because it features a unique artisan profile rather than a standard OEM or Cherry profile, it is best suited for the escape key or a function row. It may feel taller or differently shaped than your standard alphanumeric keys.
Each purchase includes one individual artisan keycap. It is intended as a decorative accent piece for your custom build.
