Know before you buy
The Hexcap is designed specifically for MX-style switches, which are the most common stem type found on mechanical keyboards. If your keyboard uses a cross-shaped stem, this keycap will be compatible.
No, the Hexcap is not backlit. Because it is crafted from solid SLA resin with a black finish, light will not pass through the keycap.
SLA resin is a high-quality, rigid material that is well-suited for artisan keycaps. While it is durable enough for daily typing, it is best treated as a decorative piece rather than a heavy-use key like the spacebar.
The Hexcap features a standard profile compatible with most keycap sets. You can place it on any row, though it is most commonly used as an 'escape' key or on a function row to highlight the artisan design.
To keep the black finish looking its best, gently wipe the keycap with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the resin surface.
