Know before you buy
This keycap is designed with an MX-style stem, making it compatible with Cherry MX switches and most standard mechanical switches from brands like Gateron, Kailh, and Outemu.
This keycap is specifically sculpted for the R1 row, which is the top row of your keyboard. It is most commonly used for the Esc key or the function row keys.
No, this keycap is non-backlit. The resin construction is solid, so it will not allow your keyboard's RGB lighting to pass through the cap.
The 'xXx' accent is a glued-in feature integrated into the resin body. It is a permanent design element that adds a unique texture and visual depth to the keycap.
The keycap comes with a pair of finger gloves to help you handle it during installation without leaving oils or fingerprints on the resin surface. We recommend using these to maintain the finish of the artisan piece.
