⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE PURCHASING!
▸ No Built-in LED
These keycaps do not emit light on their own. The psycho-frame glow effect is created by your keyboard's existing RGB backlighting shining through the translucent resin.
▸ 3-Key Set — Keyboard Not Included
This set contains 3 keycaps (head unit + left shoulder armor + right shoulder armor). Your mechanical keyboard is not included.
▸ Resin Is Fragile
Hand-cast resin construction — avoid dropping, bending, or pressing on delicate armor pieces. The transformation hinges require gentle, deliberate handling.
▸ Artisan Craftsmanship
Unique details per unit; slight color and finish variations between pieces are a normal result of the hand-painting process.
▸ Stem Fit Adjustment
If the keycap feels tight on your switch stem, briefly warm the base with a hairdryer (5–10 seconds) to slightly soften the resin before pressing it on.
▸ Damage Inspection
Inspect your order upon delivery and document any defects with photos within 48 hours of receipt.
The Banshee Norn in Your Hand — Switch Between Modes
- The RX-0[N] Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn is one of the most visually striking units in the Gundam UC timeline — the black armor overlaying the gold psycho-frame creates a silhouette unlike any other mobile suit. This keycap set reproduces that in three dimensions, switching between the sealed Unicorn Mode and the fully expanded Destroy Mode through a 16-magnet snap system.
- Piloted by Riddhe Marcenas, the Banshee Norn's characteristic black-and-gold color scheme is faithfully reproduced through multi-stage hand-painting, with the psycho-frame sections in translucent resin that catches your keyboard's RGB backlight from below.
16 N52 Magnets — Snaps Between Modes with a Single Touch
- The transformation system uses 16 N52-grade neodymium magnets distributed across the armor panels to replicate the Banshee Norn's psycho-frame expansion. Press lightly to fold the armor plates into Unicorn Mode; pull outward to deploy them into Destroy Mode. No tools, no loose parts.
- Unlike V-Fin pop-up or twist mechanisms found in other Gundam keycaps, the Banshee Norn's flat-panel deployment creates a dramatically different silhouette in each mode — making it one of the most display-flexible designs in the Johnny keycap lineup.
Translucent Resin Psycho-Frame — Glows with Your Keyboard's RGB
- The gold psycho-frame sections are cast in translucent resin specifically to channel your keyboard's RGB backlighting upward through the keycap body. With the right underglow color, the effect closely mimics the psycho-frame resonance seen in the OVA — without any additional lighting hardware.
- Each keycap is hand-painted over the base resin cast, with the black armor layers applied in multiple stages to maintain depth and edge definition while keeping the translucent sections clean for light transmission.

Care Instructions
- ▸ Clean with a soft dry brush or microfiber cloth only — no water, alcohol, or solvents on the painted surfaces
- ▸ Transform gently — engage the magnets by guiding panels into position rather than snapping them forcefully; repeated hard snapping may stress the resin at hinge points
- ▸ Remove by lifting straight up from the switch stem — rocking or twisting can crack the base of the keycap
- ▸ Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight — prolonged UV exposure may yellow the translucent resin sections over time
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many keycaps are in the set?
Three keycaps: a head unit, a left shoulder armor, and a right shoulder armor — all based on the Banshee Norn's upper body design. They replace three 1U keys on your keyboard.
Q: Do these keycaps light up on their own?
No. There are no LEDs inside the keycaps. The gold psycho-frame sections are cast from translucent resin that passes your keyboard's existing RGB backlighting upward — so the glow effect depends entirely on your keyboard's per-key RGB capability.
Q: How does the Unicorn Mode / Destroy Mode switch work?
Sixteen N52-grade neodymium magnets are embedded in the armor panels. To enter Destroy Mode, gently pull the outer armor panels outward — the magnets release and hold the expanded position. To return to Unicorn Mode, fold the panels back in until the magnets click into place. No tools needed.
Q: Which keyboards are compatible?
The three SKU options cover the most common switch types: Top-Mounted fits Cherry MX, Gateron, and compatible cross-stem switches; Bottom-Mounted is for keyboards requiring a low-profile stem; ROG Switch is for ASUS ROG optical switch boards. Check your keyboard's switch type before ordering.
Q: How is the Banshee Norn set different from the Unicorn 01 keycap?
The Unicorn 01 set features white and blue colors with a V-Fin pop-up mechanism. The Banshee Norn 02 set uses black and gold colors and a flat-panel magnetic deployment system — both the transformation style and the color palette are completely distinct. The Banshee Norn's silhouette change between modes is more dramatic due to the wider armor panels.
Q: Is this an official Bandai or Sunrise product?
No. This is a fan-made artisan keycap set designed and produced by Johnny. It is not affiliated with, licensed by, or authorized by Bandai Namco or Sunrise.
