Cherry MX switches are great for building your own keyboards. Whether you are looking to build a full-sized 108-key keyboard, your own 10-key, or just a custom input for your computer, Cherry MX switches give you that satisfying keyboard click. Now we offer keycaps to make your project look a little more professional. This keycap comes in Translucent Black, adding a solid, professional finish to your keys. You can still mark these with a permanent marker, a sticker, or another marking device. While these caps mount securely to standard Cherry MX switches, there is one important lighting detail to keep in mind for your project:
Keyboards actually have many types of keys. We all know the space bar and caps lock look different. But what about the "J" and "F," which tend to have a small ridge on them, so you know where your fingers go? Not to mention all the different letters and such. But did you know that even within the letters, each row of keys has a different slant? We decided to go with an R2 keycap as a nice middle ground to get you started.
