Hex Keycaps
Designed by s-ol, these hexagonal keycaps are quite unconventional! They're the result of experimenting with the creation of a music keyboard. Its unique shape and size require specific Hex-compatible PCBs, and allow to switch from a row to column stagger by a single 30 degree rotation.
Made of ABS material, these keycaps will feel smooth to the touch while providing the necessary feedback. They are translucent, allowing keyboards with per-key RGB to shine to their full potential.
This keycap is made to fit Kailh Choc low profile switches. All Kailh Choc switches sold at splitkb.com are compatible with these keycaps. Do mind, you'll need a special keyboard to fit these keycaps. A datasheet is available.
One bundle contains 10 keycaps.

Remarks
These keycaps are ideal to make a unique macropad or keyboard with. You can use the datasheet above as the basis of your design. There will be hex-compatible kits in the future, designed by s-ol and others. Why not create your own in the meantime?
