Know before you buy
The HKP Overlord keycap is compatible with any keyboard that uses Cherry MX style stems, which feature the standard cross-shaped mount. It is designed to fit most mechanical keyboards on the market.
The sides of the keycap are translucent, allowing your keyboard's backlighting to shine through. This is specifically engineered to diffuse and amplify cool-toned LEDs for a more immersive glow.
This keycap follows the Cherry profile. It is designed to sit at a standard height that matches most common mechanical keyboard keycap sets, ensuring a consistent feel across your board.
It is crafted from durable resin. This material is chosen for its ability to hold intricate design details and its long-lasting build quality compared to standard injection-molded plastic caps.
While it is technically compatible with any MX-style switch, artisan keycaps like the Overlord are typically designed for the Escape key or the function row to best showcase the unique design.
