Know before you buy
This keycap is designed for Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. It is compatible with most mechanical keyboards using Cherry MX, Gateron, Kailh, and other similar switch brands.
The keycap is designed to allow light from your keyboard's LED to pass through the eyes of the dragon. For the best effect, ensure your keyboard has per-key backlighting positioned directly under the switch stem.
Yes, it is crafted from high-quality, durable resin. While it is built to withstand regular use, artisan keycaps are generally intended for decorative or accent keys rather than high-traffic keys like the spacebar or letter keys.
This artisan keycap features a unique, sculpted profile specific to the Hot Keys Project design. Because it is taller than a standard OEM or Cherry profile keycap, it is best suited for the escape key or the top row of your keyboard.
This is a single artisan keycap designed to serve as a focal point on your keyboard. It is intended to be used as a custom accent piece rather than a replacement for a full set of keys.
