Know before you buy
This keycap is designed for Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem mount. It is compatible with most mechanical keyboards using Cherry MX, Gateron, Kailh, and other similar switch brands.
The keycap is designed to be translucent in the eye area, allowing the light from your keyboard's existing LED or SMD backlight to shine through. If your keyboard does not have backlighting, the eyes will not glow on their own.
Yes, the keycap is crafted from high-quality, durable resin intended for regular use. While artisan keycaps are often used as decorative accents on keys like 'Esc' or function rows, they are built to withstand standard typing pressure.
The HKP Raiden artisan is produced in a standard 1u size, which is the size of a typical letter or number key. It is designed to fit seamlessly into the standard rows of most mechanical keyboard layouts.
The keycap is cast from colored resin rather than being surface-painted, which helps maintain the vibrancy of the orange and black design. With normal use, the finish is highly resistant to fading or rubbing off.
