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 switches from brands like Gateron, Kailh, and Outemu that follow the Cherry MX design.
This keycap is sculpted in the SA R1 profile, which is specifically designed for the top row of your keyboard. It is best suited for the Escape key or the F-row keys.
No, this keycap is made from solid resin and is not backlit compatible. The light from your keyboard will not shine through the design.
The SA profile is taller and more spherical than the standard OEM or Cherry profiles found on most pre-built keyboards. It offers a vintage, sculpted aesthetic and a distinct feel that many enthusiasts prefer for its height and concave top surface.
While each keycap is crafted to match the Bucket Head design and color scheme, minor variations are expected due to the artisan casting process. These slight differences are a hallmark of handmade resin work and make each piece unique.
