Does the metal object represented on the keycap have a point on it?

It is MX, but that is not relevant to what the key is representing.

Yes.  I would add typically hotter than room temperature...any object can be at different temperature given different circumstances

Not July 4th themed.

Don't really want to go the starts with letter approach...I think it takes the fun out of it.
