Know before you buy
This 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 keycap features translucent elements in the eyes that allow the light from your keyboard's existing per-key LED to shine through. It does not have its own internal power source.
It is crafted from durable, high-quality resin. This material is standard for artisan keycaps as it allows for intricate detailing and a solid, premium feel.
While the MX stem allows it to be placed on any switch, the Specter profile is unique and may be taller or shaped differently than your standard keycaps. It is most commonly used on the Escape key or the top function row for the best aesthetic and ergonomic fit.
This product includes a single artisan keycap. It is intended to be used as a decorative accent piece rather than a replacement for your entire keycap set.
