Know before you buy
The HKP Diesel Saturn keycap is designed with an MX-style cross stem, making it compatible with most standard mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX switches or clones.
The keycap is designed to allow light from your keyboard's underlying LED to pass through the eyes. For the best effect, ensure your keyboard has north-facing or center-mounted switch LEDs.
Yes, it is crafted from high-quality resin, which is a standard, durable material for artisan keycaps. While it is built to last, it is best suited for accent keys like the Escape key or function row rather than high-traffic keys like the spacebar.
No, each Diesel Saturn keycap is handcrafted by Hot Keys Project. Because they are artisan-made, you may notice slight variations in finish or color that make each piece unique.
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners, as these can damage the resin finish and the painted accents.
