Know before you buy
This keycap features an MX-style stem, making it compatible with all Cherry MX switches and most other mechanical switches that use the standard cross-shaped mount.
The keycap is designed to be translucent in specific areas, allowing your keyboard's backlight to shine through the red eyes of the Specter design for a glowing effect.
The HKP Specter is handcrafted from high-quality, durable resin, which provides a distinct weight and premium feel compared to standard ABS or PBT keycaps.
While the keycap will physically fit on any MX-compatible switch, artisan caps like the Specter are typically designed for the Escape key or top-row function keys to showcase their unique profile.
Yes, because each keycap is handcrafted, there may be slight variations in finish or color application, which is a standard characteristic of artisan-made components.
