Key Cap

The key-cap icon represents keyboard keys, keyboard shortcuts, and input documentation in technical and educational interfaces. Featuring a keyboard keycap symbol, this icon is commonly used to indicate keyboard shortcuts, key bindings, input instructions, and keyboard-related settings in software documentation, tutorials, and keyboard customization tools.

In modern applications like keyboard shortcut documentation in VS Code or Figma, gaming peripheral configuration software like Razer Synapse or Logitech G Hub, keyboard layout tutorials in typing training apps, or hotkey displays in productivity applications showing keyboard combinations, you'll see this icon representing keyboard input and keycap references. It appears in documentation when illustrating keyboard shortcuts, in settings panels for configuring key bindings, or in tutorial interfaces when teaching keyboard-based interactions and commands.

From an input instruction perspective, the keycap symbol communicates more than just 'keyboard' - it specifically indicates individual key presses, the physical keyboard keys users must press, and the visual representation of keyboard shortcuts that improve workflow efficiency through muscle memory. This input clarity helps users learn and remember keyboard commands for faster, more efficient software operation.

Key Cap is one of 458 icons in Akar Icons, made by Arturo Wibawa and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds KeyCapIcon to components/icons/akar-icons-key-cap.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed KeyCapIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Key Cap icon, or any of 458 Akar Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Key Cap is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Key Cap", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. KeyCapIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <KeyCapIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Akar Icons, Arturo Wibawa and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are input, keyboard, typing, key, shortcut and keycap. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Key Cap in another set.

Akar Icons draws many icons in several styles: Fill next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Key Cap's siblings in it.
