Cherry MX Keycap - R2 (Translucent)

Sparkfun's Cherry MX Keycap - R2 (Translucent) is a versatile and professional-grade component for those who wish to build their own keyboards. Ideal for a full-sized 108-key keyboard, a custom 10-key or any other unique input device, these Cherry MX switches offer the delightful click that keyboard enthusiasts love. The keycap is translucent, allowing for a sleek, professional finish and the possibility of marking with a permanent marker, sticker or other marking device. The translucent nature of the keycap also allows for LED lights, often found on Cherry MX switches, to shine through beautifully, enhancing the aesthetics of your keyboard.

It's important to note that keyboards are not just composed of one type of key. From the space bar to the caps lock, each key has its own unique design. The "J" and "F" keys often feature a small ridge for finger placement, while each row of keys has a different slant. To cater to these variations, Sparkfun has chosen an R2 keycap, providing a balanced and versatile solution for your keyboard building project.
