Know before you buy
The Lookout keycap is designed for Cherry MX switches, which are the industry standard for most mechanical keyboards. If your keyboard uses a cross-shaped stem, this keycap will be compatible.
Because each piece is individually handcrafted and painted, there will be slight variations in color and detail. You should expect your specific keycap to be a one-of-a-kind piece of art rather than an exact replica of the photos.
With a height of 32.3 mm, this keycap is significantly taller than a standard row profile key. It is best suited for the Escape key or a function row key where it can stand out without obstructing your typing experience.
No, this keycap is made of solid, opaque resin and is not designed to be backlit. It is intended to serve as a decorative accent piece rather than a functional light-transmitting key.
McCray partners with the National Forest Foundation, and a portion of the proceeds from every Lookout keycap sold is donated directly to their reforestation initiatives. Your purchase helps fund the planting of trees in national forests.
