Single Metal Keycap for MX Switches
This individual aluminium-alloy keycap fits any Cherry MX, Kailh MX or other MX-style mechanical keyboard switch. The XDA profile gives a uniform, low-profile height across the row. Dye-treated colouring produces a bright fantasy-gradient finish that resists fading. It is sold as a single piece for customising one key.
Passive Thermal Behaviour
The solid metal body acts as a small heat sink, drawing warmth away from the switch stem during extended typing sessions. No active cooling or power draw is involved, so the keycap adds no noise and requires no electrical connection. Backlight legends remain visible because the dye process leaves the RGB shine-through intact.
Customisation Scope
Swapping this cap onto a single key — such as Escape, Enter or a macro key — adds a distinct tactile and visual accent without changing the keyboard's layout or software. The package contains only the keycap; no switch puller, keycap puller or additional caps are included. Buyers needing a full set or multiple matching colours must purchase further units separately.

Questions about this item
How do I install this XDA-profile metal keycap on a Cherry MX switch without damaging the stem?
Align the keycap's cross-shaped stem with the MX-compatible switch, press straight down until it clicks, and avoid twisting — the aluminium alloy body is rigid and can bend the switch stem if forced at an angle.
Will the fantasy-gradient finish wear off or need recoating after heavy daily typing?
The dye-treated aluminium alloy resists fading under normal use; no recoating is required, though surface scratches from fingernails or keycap pullers may appear over time and cannot be polished out.
At what point does the solid metal construction become uncomfortable during long sessions?
The 1.8 cm height and dense metal mass transfer more finger impact than plastic caps, so fatigue typically appears first in the fingertips during extended high-speed typing.
