Know before you buy
This 1.75u keycap is specifically designed to replace the Caps Lock key on your mechanical keyboard. It is not intended for standard 1u alpha keys or larger modifier keys.
While it fits most standard MX-style switches, it is not compatible with K Pro, Keychron Super Banana, Keychron Camo, or Kailh switches that feature a boxed or wall-style stem.
The keycap weighs 5.0 grams, which is slightly heavier than a standard plastic keycap. You may notice a subtle difference in the bottom-out feel, but it should not significantly impact your typing performance.
No, the silicone buttons are purely aesthetic and decorative. They provide a tactile, retro look but do not trigger any mechanical switch inputs.
The keycap is finished using an anodizing process, which creates a hard, wear-resistant surface. This ensures the color remains vibrant and the metal resists scratches during regular use.
