Know before you buy
This keycap is designed for Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. It will fit most mechanical keyboards that use this common mounting system.
This keycap is sculpted in the SA R1 profile, which is specifically designed for the top row of your keyboard. It is most commonly used as an ESC key or for the function row.
The keycap is crafted from durable resin. This material allows for the intricate detailing of the Bucket Head design while maintaining the structural integrity needed for daily use.
Because this uses the SA profile, it will likely be taller and more rounded than standard OEM or Cherry profile keycaps. It is intended to stand out as a decorative accent piece rather than blend in with a uniform set.
No, this listing is for a single artisan keycap. It is intended to be used as a custom accent piece for your existing keyboard setup.
