Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for mechanical keyboards using MX-style stems. As long as your keyboard switches have the standard cross-shaped stem, they will fit perfectly.
The Cherry profile is widely favored for its sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits slightly lower than the standard OEM profile. This design helps reduce finger fatigue during long typing sessions.
No, the resin is specifically crafted to be translucent, allowing your keyboard's backlighting to shine through the pond design. This creates a glowing, ethereal effect that highlights the intricate details of the Koi.
Because each keycap is individually handcrafted, there will be subtle variations in the placement of the Koi and the depth of the resin. These minor differences are intentional and ensure that every piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind sculpture.
Each Zen Pond keycap arrives in a premium wooden display box for safe storage. You will also receive a unique numbered dog-tag that serves as a certificate of authenticity for your specific artisan piece.
Jelly Key offers a replacement guarantee to ensure you receive a product free of manufacturing defects. If your keycap arrives with a functional or structural issue, you can reach out to the brand for a direct replacement.
