Know before you buy
This keycap is designed with a standard Cherry MX stem, making it compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX style switches.
The SA profile is taller and more sculpted than standard OEM or Cherry profiles. It offers a distinct, vintage aesthetic and a deeper sound profile, which many enthusiasts prefer for a premium typing experience.
Yes, the resin material is transparent, allowing your keyboard's backlighting to pass through the keycap and illuminate the whelk seashell design.
This is a 1u keycap, meaning it is designed specifically for standard-sized keys like letters, numbers, or function keys. It will not fit larger keys like the spacebar, shift, or enter keys.
Because each keycap is individually handcrafted, there may be slight variations in the placement of the whelk shell and sequins. These subtle differences are a natural part of the artisan process and make each piece unique.
