Know before you buy
The HKP Raven keycap is designed for switches with a standard Cherry MX-style cross stem. It is compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use this common mounting system.
The goggles are a physical component of the keycap that can be manually lifted. When raised, they reveal the internal design, allowing your keyboard's backlighting to shine through the eyes.
This artisan keycap follows the Cherry profile. It is designed to sit at a similar height and angle to the standard keys found on most Cherry-profile keycap sets.
Yes, the keycap is crafted from high-quality, durable resin intended for regular use. While artisan caps are often used for aesthetic accents on keys like 'Esc' or function rows, it is built to withstand standard typing pressure.
No, the keycap does not have its own internal battery or LED. It relies on the existing backlighting of your mechanical keyboard to illuminate the eyes when the goggles are lifted.
