Know before you buy
This keycap features a unique Aiglatson Hexagonal profile. Because of its distinct shape, it is designed specifically for Row 1 placement to ensure it sits correctly on your board.
The keycap is designed to fit standard MX-style switches, which are the most common type found on mechanical keyboards. As long as your board uses MX-compatible stems, this artisan will fit.
It is crafted from anodized aluminum, which provides a high level of durability and a premium weight compared to standard plastic caps. The enamel infill is securely applied to ensure the design remains crisp and intact with regular use.
Artisan keycaps like this one are primarily intended for decorative purposes rather than high-frequency typing keys. While it can be placed anywhere, most users prefer installing it on an escape key or a function row key where the unique shape won't interfere with your standard typing flow.
The anodized aluminum finish is quite resilient and resistant to oils. You can maintain its appearance by gently wiping it with a soft, dry microfiber cloth if it collects dust.
