Know before you buy
This keycap is designed for Cherry MX style switches, which feature a cross-shaped stem. It is compatible with most standard mechanical keyboards that use this common mounting system.
The keycap features translucent sides that allow your keyboard's backlighting to shine through. Additionally, the eyes are designed to glow red when exposed to a warm-toned backlight.
It is constructed from durable resin. This material is standard for artisan keycaps, offering a solid feel and a high-quality finish.
This listing is for a single artisan keycap. It is intended to be used as a decorative accent piece, typically for an Escape key or another prominent position on your board.
This is an artisan keycap with a unique sculptural profile rather than a standard typing profile. Because of its custom shape, it is best suited for non-typing keys where height consistency is less critical.
