Know before you buy
The HKP Hannya keycap is designed for switches with an MX-style cross stem. It is compatible with most Cherry MX switches and their clones, such as Gateron, Kailh, and Outemu.
The keycap is designed with translucent sections in the eyes. When placed over a keyboard with per-key RGB or LED lighting, the light will shine through these areas to create a glowing effect.
This keycap features a unique, custom profile rather than a standard OEM or Cherry profile. Because it is taller and sculpted, it is best suited for the Escape key or a function row key where it won't interfere with your typing posture.
The keycap is cast from high-quality, durable resin, which is the industry standard for artisan caps. It is resistant to wear, but like all resin collectibles, it should be handled with care to avoid scratching the finish.
No, this is an individual artisan keycap sold as a single unit. It is intended to be used as a decorative accent piece to highlight specific keys on your board.
