Know before you buy
The Raiden Aqua keycap is designed for any keyboard using Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem mount. It is compatible with most mechanical keyboards on the market today.
The keycap is designed to allow light to pass through the eyes. When placed on a backlit keyboard, the light from your switch will shine through the eyes to create a distinct red glow.
This artisan keycap is crafted from high-quality, durable resin. This material is chosen for its ability to hold intricate details and withstand regular use.
The Raiden Aqua features a unique artisan profile rather than a standard OEM or Cherry profile. Because of its sculptural design, it is best suited for the Escape key or a function row key where it won't interfere with your typing rhythm.
Yes, you can use it on a non-backlit keyboard, but the eyes will not glow. The keycap will still retain its striking turquoise and black aesthetic as a decorative accent.
