Quick clack question: I had a look at the colours list and didn't spot anything but does anyone know if there is a white or grey clack that would match the white or grey keys of a white HHKB? Hardcore white seems a little too white and I haven't seen a light grey that would match the modifiers.

Thanks.

I think there is a light grey f2 cc. But not sure how good it matches. And depth white or 3D should match better than hardcore white. But it will never be a 100% match

[atlas3686]

Thanks guys, ya I don't expect it to ever be a perfect match just looking for the closest. That light grey looks quite promising as does depth white. Now to try and find one of these at a price I can afford.

[noisyturtle]

Cement would be a good match

[VesperSAINT]

Dunno if you saw yet but I received a Green T1 Skull for MX. Here is a picture of it for you, if you haven't seen it yet. I tried to match it as accurately as possible without it looking like a Toxic or Guac. It's not Toxic bc CC described it as "similar to Toxic".

[CPTBadAss]

VesperSaint, can you take that first picture again but on a white background?

[VesperSAINT]

VesperSaint, can you take that first picture again but on a white background?

Can and will do

Took me about an hour to get it as accurate as possible, but this one is really really hard to get spot on. This is what I got today.


Here is what it looks like in sunlight:

eth0s calls it Skeletor. Clack posted 2 prototypes with Bone colored faces. This one is actually in collectors hands, has a white face, and has been called Skeletor by a huge collector. So I'm still calling it Skeletor. Unless Clack says otherwise.

I thought Clack already said otherwise in here. I've had big collectors correct me for calling it Skeletor so I have my doubts. I'm ok with a provisional name but I'd still like clarification.

I also would love a clarification about these (in form of a ek sale) :D

[CPTBadAss]

Lol, I agree. I think personal ownership will clear up any doubts I have snoopy

[dustinhxc]

I'd love one of the bone colored faces too!

Hey there! I'm a bit behind with the emails/PM responses, sorry. =S
I get this question a bunch and I'm not sure how the confusion started but it goes back a while. The keycap you show is NOT a "Skeletor". It was a prototype of sorts, a DM key from long ago. It's light milk purple (aka lavender milk) on P1 purple. It's likely not a white one, put it next to something that is white and you will see what I mean.
All Skeletor keys (which actually go by a different name) consist of no less than 3 colors.
Neither of the ones that I posted are bone colored, they just unfortunately look that way in the picture. They are a funky greenish yellow and... "something else"...  ;)

Lavender Milk on P1 Purple Prototype!!! Wow what an awesome color combination. I love it just as much. Thank You CC for your input!
It looks like Gum to me, not P1 but if you say its P1 I believe you. 
Greenish Skeletor face with secret ingredient, now that's cool! Do you have a name for them?
You're the man! 

[Wildcard]

The lavender milk on P1 purple is a very nice combo. I've always liked that one.

Dear ClickClack,

Thank you for the info as always :D

<3 CPTBadAss

Do you have a name for them?

DM key from long ago. It's light milk purple (aka lavender milk) on P1 purple.

Can call it bi-color lavender milk or milk purple on P1 purple. Or DM purple? Whatever DM is...

Yeah, Lavender Milk on P1 Purple. Rad!  :thumb:

Pretty sure that was a 1-off, or at least an EXTREMELY limited run, since I've only ever seen pictures of it by sixty (the picture you linked). Because of this I don't think a price can really be given.

[riotonthebay]

Answering a question from the "Post your clacks!" thread.

Whats the rarity on the oktoberfest skull like? higher or lower then the older ones like Jack/OG/Mr Friday?

Inquiring minds would love to know. Seems to me the Drunken/Candy Corn/Julysicle skulls tend to sell for north of $200 which is a bit rich for my blood.

Dustin has sold the last two Candy Corn skulls that I've seen for $190 and $200. The last Drunken I saw went for $200. A Mr. Friday went for $250 the other day. Tri-color skulls sell almost instantly, even for prices >$300. An OG sold within minutes for $250 about a month ago.

[Air tree]

Has anyone seen Lavender milk on P1 purple on the classifieds before? Or does Dustin have the only one?

That and Skeletor would be my end all be all (Not just clack) Novelty cap to be honest.

Dustin no longer has it?  Boo.

Purple is a terrible color.  Nobody should want that.  Just throw them away or maybe give them to me.

The Ancient Clack of DooM:



Here is a little history about this particular Clack.  AFAIK, the Clack in the pic above is a unique Clack.  There is only one.  [CC can correct me if he made more than one.]  Now, this particular Clack is the one I got from Tsangan who got it from ekw808.  Tsangan called it "skeletor".  After I owned it for a short period of time, I passed it on to Dustin.  However, from CC's post, we learned that it is in fact NOT called "skeletor", but instead it's a "prototype of sorts, a DM key from long ago", and that it's a lavender milk white skull face on a P1 purple key. 

Whatever you call it, however, I can attest from personal experience that it's WAY too powerful for one person to own for very long.  It emits a strange and powerful sensation, which is more than a little disquieting.  I wasn't ever too comfortable around it, TBH.  It really needs a new owner every so often.  If Dustin passed it on to somebody else, I can say that I understand why he did it, and that it was due to the strange power of that Clack.  Too strong.  Whoever the new owner is, I hope you can handle the mysterious power of that prototype/ DM Clack.  That Clack should definitely have a name.   I suggest that we call it the DM Clack from long, long ago; or better yet we should call it the "Ancient Clack of DooM".  Beware the Ancient Clack of DooM. 

[naasfu]

Thanks for the history!  It's so pretty.  Dumb question:  What does "DM" stand for?

Preccciooussss.

Excellent write up as always my good friend!!!!

I saw this a while ago but was on my dang tablet so didnt want to reply about this nice long story. Then I kept forgetting to reply on here.

The Ancient Clack of DooM! That is the perfect title.. Not sure if it comes from..






Some Indiana Jones or Prometheus type era... Quite possible...

It is the single most beautiful piece of art I have acquired and loved it every day in my possession. But could not keep it away from a fellow enthusiast. I had to pass the love and odd ora that surrounds the clack. Hopefully they speak up soon, Im sure they will and you will see their new spectacular love for this quite peculiar yet amazing piece of history!

I f'n loved prometheus, i didnt read about it before seeing it to keep an open mind. That ending came out of nowhere and blew me away. So good

[noisyturtle]

I totally agree, and Prometheus was a fine standalone movie. People give it so much **** because they are holding it to the Alien franchise standard, when by itself Prometheus was a great Summer blockbuster, albeit mindless fun. Truthfully I enjoyed it more than Avengers.

This is way off-topic.

I think there is a light grey f2 cc. But not sure how good it matches. And depth white or 3D should match better than hardcore white. But it will never be a 100% match

I own a Grey F2 and it's a hair darker than the dark grey IMSTO Cherry replica dye-subs.  It matches a white/grey two tone set nicely.
