Know before you buy
The Blight keycap is designed for any keyboard using MX-style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. It is compatible with most major brands, including Cherry MX, Gateron, and Kailh.
This keycap is made from solid, opaque SLA resin and is not designed to be backlit. While it will fit on a backlit switch, the light will not shine through the keycap itself.
SLA resin is a high-detail material that allows for the intricate 3D-printed geometry of this artisan piece. It is durable for daily use, though it has a slightly different feel and weight compared to standard injection-molded plastic keycaps.
No, the Blight keycap features a minimalist, legend-free design. It is intended to serve as a visual accent piece rather than a functional key for typing.
Because it is an artisan piece with a unique profile, it is best suited for non-standard positions like the Escape key or the function row. It may not match the height or slope of your standard typing keys.
