It's the joke that's always funny.  Doesn't matter how sure you are that he's pulling your leg.

You still check don't you ;P

[i3oilermaker]

Boooooo - bury that post.

[esoomenona]

My heart jumped in my chest... Follow me, BlindRAGE606!

Maybe I'm confused here but I don't recall Elite sending out any emails or advertising (in any way) that there was going to be any sort of Click Clack sale coming? Just s simple update on their site with no date given. Why are people upset again?

[BoxWithADot]

Such an angry thread  they're just keycaps...

Sorry, they'll delete any posts that aren't construable as angry in any shape or form

EK has posted a couple of timec confirming the pending sale.

Soon™

Soon™

(Three weeks later)
And then some people will probably get an email and buy keys, while mysteriously some will not get emails and completely miss out. The "fair" system was 10% more people would actually be sent emails but only if you moved to "real customer" status 

[GeoTang]

It's up~
Raffle style to determine who gets the chance to buy the keycaps.

[danielucf]

So did people hitting F5 just discover this or did anyone get an email? Because I didn't get any email, nor did I get one for entering into the drawing even though it said one was sent. Not in the spam folder either *sigh*

[GeoTang]

I just occasionally f5 when it crosses my mind. I guess I refreshed right after it updated considering no one's posted about it.
I got an e-mail for the confirmation though

[tjcaustin]

I didn't receive any email, I just filled it out after checking this thread.

My trusty robot that's been watching this page for the last week saw the page updated at approx. 0:15 GMT.

Had no email alert or confirmation mail after successful draw registration so far. UPDATE: 4 mails confirming successful draw entry have just come through!

Good luck everyone!

so did you just get four keys, I don't get it LOL

So it's one entry per key per person and the drawing has already started even though the entries don't close for another 2 days, is that right?

edit: nvm I misread, you got confirmation of draw entry

Good luck y'all

[imcr]

It states "This drawing is for one of several CF-5T-OKT." etc... so I presume it's one entry per key.

I did all four Topres, leaving the MXs for some other lucky person, I guess you could enter for a total of 8 Clacks is so desired.

[BlindRAGE606]

Well at least we know that the caps won't be available for purchasing until the drawing is over. My F5 can rest.

[imcr]

I'm somewhat confused (it's late here in the UK!) It seems that on re-reading of the rules that only one entry per cap is valid:

1. One drawing entry per person. Efforts to "game" the system will likely be noticed and disqualified (as will any other entries to other drawings that we can reasonably tie to that person for the foreseeable future.).

I'm Curious to hear how other people interpret this. Could be clearer, might have disqualified myself already, ha!

[noxwood]

Heh, I would totally enter all 8, but if I managed to win in even 2 I probably wouldn't have the funds to pay for it.

[rowdy]

This is fair, this is good.  Everyone has the same chance.  It is not biased due to timezone or proximity to an email server.  It is not who can press F5 the quickest.

And I think the answer to the last FAQ really says it all, from CC's perspective and EK's: "Clack Factory keycaps are very limited works of art, and it's the Clack Factory's wish that these not just be sold to the highest bidder (or fastest clicker)."

[sth]

baaahh why are you crossposting the SAME thing

[The_Beast]

baaahh why are you crossposting the SAME thing

Kinda annoying

[rowdy]

In case people are watching only 1 thread?

Sorry, would you like me to delete one?

everyone is watching both, which is also annoying considering they are pretty much the same topic

[rowdy]

Ok, I've removed the other one.  Sorry about that, I was too excited about entering the draws

I believe they mean multiple same drawings for the same item, considering each entry has an SKU.

[Goodfella]

Well I entered for 1 of the black cherry mx keycaps, hope I get lucky!

[gameaholic]

I don't see a reCAPTCHA.

[gameaholic]

nvm works in firefox, not in chrome

[tjcaustin]

Chrome worked fine fo' me.

[emptythecache]

Are we allowed to enter the drawing for each different cap? or is it one total? That seems unclear.

[GeoTang]

I've entered for two and I've gotten confirmation e-mails so it should be fine.
I also sent them an e-mail asking about it just in case.

[Anynoupy]

Yes for each cap
If you look carefully, there's a different "iD" number for each cap, meaning they aren't related in the one keycap limitation. So that's really one per keycap.

[tsangan]

If I get spam emails there will be issues

[jackstar7]

Entered for a single Topre, but if I get to buy it, I'll be picking up a colored set for my 103, too.

That should insure I get my chance... eh? ... EH?

[akuJIWA]

Just entered for the candy corn. Love those!

[tipo33]

Just entered for the candy corn. Love those!

Likewise.  Good luck!

[digitalleftovers]

Finally, I actually have a chance!

In case people are watching only 1 thread? f-r-e-a-k out 

[danielucf]

I'm half hoping EK is able to share the demand with clack factory and convince him to start producing greater numbers of keys. What percentage of the community that wants CCs do you think is actually able to get something? My guess is 10-15%, maybe even less taking my personal history of attempts into account. I do think the percentage of the community willing to spend $100 per cap is probably at 50-65% though.

[rayuki]

what is this? there are 2 threads on this that im supposed to be trolling. oh ffs why so much work!

[noxwood]

$100 a pop seems pretty high, even taking into account that they're CC's.
