Know before you buy
The Warmaster keycap is designed with a standard MX stem, making it compatible with most Cherry MX switches and their clones. It is intended for use on standard mechanical keyboards that utilize this common switch architecture.
The keycap features translucent sections in the eyes that allow the light from your keyboard's under-switch LED to shine through. The effect is most visible on keyboards with per-key RGB or single-color backlighting.
This keycap is crafted from durable resin, which is the industry standard for artisan caps. It provides a solid, premium feel and is resistant to the typical wear and tear of daily typing.
It features a unique artisan profile that is taller and more sculpted than standard OEM or Cherry profile keys. Because of its height and shape, it is best suited for the Escape key or the top row of your keyboard.
As an artisan product, each piece is individually crafted. While the black and red colorway is consistent, you may notice slight variations in the finish that are characteristic of high-quality, hand-finished resin work.
