They are quite big however e.g. they won't fit on the top row of my filco tenkeypad.

But they should fit in the ESC position, right?

That is the ONLY place were they shall inhabit the keyboard.  A stern, serious, no crap taking position  8) .

What if you have more than one of them :o?

I know what is meant by the 'clear finished' comment , they don't look clean/shiny/new like Girldc's caps, these look a bit more rustic.

Ok pictures as requested by vesper, got a few shots jut now. I don't have anything backlit at the moment, I'm waiting on the phantom build! I didn't purchase the ancient, something about it I didn't like

You, good sir, are a bloody champion! Thank you for the awesome pictures and the explanation of the "clear finish"! Oh gawd, they are beautiful. You think that the "wet tissue" thing leesofi mentioned will work to make it bling better?

Your "Crappy LED shot" was awesome btw :P

It might clean them a bit, but I think that the process of creating the kecap has left battlescars on them. I don't really know how to describe it.
Not sure if this picture helps, you'll see for yourself soon enough :P




And btw, these are the boxes they came in.

These pictures... you torture me so sweetly. Lol! They definitely help. I can see the blemishes but "battle scar" may be the right way to put it. Like this:

How well do they fit onto the switches? Is it a tight fit?

If there's one thing you can count on its that i3oiler sends his products out almost instantly. Sometimes he's just too fast and you can't edit your orders!  But I ain't mad!

Funny hearing everyone's opinions.  The ones some people love, others hate.  I personally think "the ancient" is the best.  And I'm sure MANY of you disagree with me.

Glad I got one before it sold out.  I think it should be in the mail tomorrow.

I wanted the Exoskull the most but I definitely love the Ancient too. I got those two. The Butcher kind of looks too fat on the bottom half of the skull imo. Nonetheless they are all freaking beautiful.

Hey i3oilermaker, this may sound like a really stupid question but the shipment status thingy, how does it work? There are like a bunch of scan histories. Do I just keep my eye on the April 17th one? It just says "Electronic Notification" and numbers for the location.

Same here, I like the Ancient as well but the "Butcher" kind of looks like me hence I had to buy it  :D .

I think these Skulls will be properly accessed once received and I think they are way above in design/quality than any lame 'Click Clack' that was ever made.

I'm now ready for the onslaught of 'Clackers' wanting retribution over my statement  :o ;) :o .

Received my keycaps! I absolutely love them! Sorry for the crappy quality pics but didn't pay any attention to the lighting :P They haven't been cleaned or whatever, and I just threw them on straight out of the case. They may need a lil' spit n shine.

What are these keycaps made out of? Is it okay to clean these with Isopropyl alcohol? Not even sure if it's bad to use rubbing alcohol to clean aluminum.

Good thinking but it's so dirty underneath anyway so I wouldn't be able to tell. I just cleaned them anyway and they are looking a lot more shiny :P Lots of gunk came off of them. Google said it's fine :P

Elrick, your vote on my second? Butcher or Ancient? :p

Get the ANCIENT one.  It's just a skull without the jaw bone piece.  It's a far better looking Skull than what's produced by the Click Clack Factory  8) .


I personally think "the ancient" is the best.  And I'm sure MANY of you disagree with me.

To bad you never saw the other skulls cc made. I have a feeling if you like these ones you would die for the clacks original metal keys. Say what you will, but these provide no comparison to a click clack. I think they're nice, like in a really good runner up sort of way. They really show his influence on the industry. The gnomes in the factory should be flattered.

As usual Boiler's Skulls got through Customs and got delivered to my door.

The bastards opened the small cardboard box thinking I was smuggling some contraband into this Convict Settlement but were sadly disappointed  ;D .

The Two Skulls look nice with their grime and dirt (which I'm keeping, not washing them at all) it adds style to their finish.

This is why I love buying from this man.

We love them to bits.  So far the very best SKULLS that have been made.  PLEASE keep on making more models with Vampire teeth and Werewolf Skulls.

Love the way my ancient looks but the stem on mine is just really loose. The cap sort of just sits on the switch free to come off if the board is tipped/bumped etc. even painters tape three layers thick doesn't do the job. I'll figure something out.
