【Pre-Order】Johnny Sazabi Transformable Artisan Keycap Set – Handcrafted Gundam Mecha for MX Switches
【Pre-Order】Johnny Sazabi Transformable Artisan Keycap Set – Handcrafted Gundam Mecha for MX Switches
【Pre-Order】Johnny Sazabi Transformable Artisan Keycap Set – Handcrafted Gundam Mecha for MX Switches Hand-painted transformable resin keycap set by Johnny — inspired by the AMS-122 Sazabi from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack. Features foldable shoulder spikes for attack/compact mode transformation and textured armor surface detail.
Who This Is For
- ▸ Char's Counterattack fans — who want a desktop tribute to Char Aznable's iconic Sazabi — the deep crimson and gold color scheme makes this one of the most visually striking keycap sets in the Johnny collection.
- ▸ Artisan keycap collectors — focused on transformable designs — the foldable shoulder spikes add an interactive element that goes beyond static display, offering two display configurations (attack mode and compact mode).
- ▸ Gundam keyboard builders — assembling a themed setup — the 3-key set (head + left shoulder + right shoulder) integrates seamlessly with other Johnny keycaps or standard keycap layouts.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE PURCHASING!
This product includes 3 keycaps (head + left shoulder armor + right shoulder armor), not a single keycap.
The keycaps do not contain integrated LED components. Any light-through effects rely on semi-transparent resin and your keyboard's backlight.
Each set is hand-painted, so slight color and finish variations between units are normal and part of the artisan character.
This is a keycap set only; the mechanical keyboard shown in photos is for demonstration purposes.
This is a pre-order product. Production and shipping timelines are as stated on the product page.
Please inspect your order upon delivery and document any defects or shipping damage within 48 hours.
Foldable Shoulder Spike Transformation
- The shoulder armor keycaps feature foldable spike mechanisms — extend them outward for an aggressive attack-mode silhouette inspired by the Sazabi's deployed form, or fold them flat for a cleaner, compact display profile. Switching between the two configurations is done by hand, with no tools required.
- The shoulder spike joint uses a simple hinge design. Handle gently during transformation and avoid forcing the mechanism beyond its natural range of motion.
Hand-Painted Crimson & Gold Finish
- Each set is individually hand-painted in Sazabi's signature deep crimson with gold edge detailing, replicating the mobile suit's color scheme from Char's Counterattack. The surface texture simulates real mecha armor plating, adding visual depth beyond flat painted resin.
- Cast in bubble-free resin through a multi-stage process, each keycap achieves a garage-kit level of detail suitable for collection and display alongside Gundam model kits.
3-Way Mounting — Top / Bottom / ROG
- Choose from three mounting options: Top-Mounted, Bottom-Mounted, or ROG Switch. The top-mounted and bottom-mounted variants fit standard Cherry MX and compatible cross-stem switches, while the ROG variant is designed specifically for ASUS ROG optical switches.
- Regardless of mounting style, each set includes 3 keycaps (head + left shoulder armor + right shoulder armor) that can be positioned together or split across your keyboard layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a single keycap or a set?
This is a 3-keycap set — the head, left shoulder armor, and right shoulder armor. The mechanical keyboard shown in photos is not included.
Q: How does the shoulder spike transformation work?
The shoulder armor keycaps have foldable spike mechanisms. You can extend the spikes outward for an attack-mode silhouette, or fold them flat for a compact display profile. The mechanism operates by hand — no tools needed. Handle gently during transformation.
Q: Does the keycap light up on its own?
No. The keycaps do not have built-in LED components. If your keyboard has backlighting, the resin may allow some light to pass through, but this depends entirely on your keyboard's lighting.
Q: What's the difference between the Top-Mounted, Bottom-Mounted, and ROG Switch options?
Top-Mounted and Bottom-Mounted variants are designed for standard Cherry MX / Gateron cross-stem switches. The ROG Switch variant is specifically designed for ASUS ROG optical switches. Choose the variant that matches your keyboard's switch type.
Q: Is this the same Sazabi from Char's Counterattack?
Yes. The design is inspired by the AMS-122 Sazabi from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack (1988), Char Aznable's signature mobile suit. The crimson and gold color scheme follows the original anime design.
Q: Can I use these as daily typing keycaps?
While they are functional and compatible with standard switches, artisan sculpted keycaps like these are primarily designed for collection and display. They can be used for typing, but the hand-painted finish and transformation mechanism may show wear over time with heavy daily use.
