YINGHUA Metal Keycap XDA Profile Backlit Gold 1.8cm

SKU CH-65A2-Y3DWF

Single metal XDA-profile keycap with RGB backlight shine-through fits Cherry MX and compatible switches

  • Adds premium metal style to any keyboard
  • XDA profile height keeps typing feel uniform
  • Backlight shines through for vivid RGB glow
  • Aluminium alloy resists fading with dye finish
  • Fits Cherry MX, Kailh and all MX switches

Single Keycap Upgrade

This individual metal keycap replaces one standard key on a mechanical keyboard. It fits Cherry MX, Kailh MX and other MX-style switches. The XDA profile keeps the top surface flat and uniform across the row. The gold finish adds a distinctive accent to a custom build.

Aluminium Alloy Construction

The keycap is machined from aluminium alloy and coloured with a dye process that resists fading. No legends are engraved, so the surface stays smooth and uninterrupted. At approximately 1.8 cm square it matches the footprint of a standard 1u key. The stem mounts directly onto any compatible MX cross stem.

Passive Thermal Behaviour

Metal conducts heat away from the fingertip, so the cap feels cool to the touch during long sessions. It adds negligible mass to the switch, leaving actuation force and sound signature essentially unchanged. No power draw or active cooling is involved. The dye layer remains stable under normal backlight temperatures.

Questions about this item

Does the XDA profile height of 1.8 cm affect key travel or switch actuation?

The XDA profile is a uniform, flat-top shape; the 1.8 cm height is the keycap's overall dimension and does not change the switch's actuation point or travel distance.

Will this single 1.8 cm metal keycap fit a standard Cherry MX or Kailh MX stem?

Yes, the keycap is designed for most Cherry MX, MX Kailh and other MX-style mechanical switches, so it mounts directly on a standard cross-shaped stem.

How is the keycap installed and what is the common mistake to avoid?

Align the cross stem with the switch and press straight down until seated; the common mistake is pressing at an angle, which can bend the metal stem or scratch the switch housing.
