Know before you buy
This keycap is designed for Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. It is compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use this common industry-standard mount.
The keycap is designed to support backlighting, which illuminates the translucent orange eyes. This creates a distinct glow effect that highlights the facial features of the Deadhead design.
The HKP Deadhead keycap is crafted from durable resin. This material is chosen for its ability to hold intricate details and provide a solid, premium feel during use.
This is a single artisan keycap intended for customization. It is typically used as a 'novelty' key, often placed on the Escape key or a function row to serve as a focal point for your keyboard.
This artisan keycap features a unique sculptural profile rather than a standard OEM or Cherry profile. Because of its custom shape, it is best suited for non-typing keys like the Escape key or macro keys.
