  • Adds premium metal style to your keyboard
  • XDA profile height for uniform typing feel
  • Backlit legends shine through RGB lighting
  • Durable aluminium alloy resists colour fading
  • Fits Cherry MX, Kailh MX and other MX switches

Single Metal Keycap

This individual keycap is crafted from aluminium alloy for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts who want to personalise a single key. The XDA profile provides a uniform, flat typing surface across the row. It fits most Cherry MX, Kailh MX and other MX-style switches. The backlit design allows RGB illumination to shine through the legend area.

MX Switch Compatibility

The stem accepts standard MX cross-shaped mounts so it drops onto Cherry MX, Kailh MX and compatible switches without adapters. No other mounting standard is supported. Buyers using Topre, Alps or low-profile Choc switches cannot use this keycap.

Thermal and Power Behaviour

As a passive metal piece the keycap draws no power and generates no heat of its own. It does not affect the keyboard’s power consumption or acoustics. The aluminium construction adds negligible mass to the switch actuation.

Questions about this item

How does the 1.8 cm height feel compared with standard OEM or Cherry keycaps?

The XDA profile is uniform and lower than sculpted rows, so the 1.8 cm cap sits flatter and gives a consistent typing plane across the board.

Will these caps work with any MX-style switch stem?

They are designed for Cherry MX, Kailh MX and all other MX-compatible switches, so the cross-shaped stem fits the standard MX socket.

What space does a single 1.8 cm cap occupy on the keyboard?

Each cap measures roughly 1.8 by 1.8 cm, covering one standard 1u key position on an MX layout.
