makes me wonder too...Hyde is pointing out to me that it even has a dark circle where you lift up the marker.
Maybe it's really hand made?

That keycap looks like it is smirking  ;D
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Exactly how much did it cost to make? You should really work that out and then sell it for half the cost to benefit the community. Oh and say exactly how many you have made and who got what so that people can be mad at the people that did get them.

Guys, listen.  I didn't make these myself, so I don't know how hard it is to make these.  All I was told was this hand made and there are only a couple of these in existence.  More could be made if there is enough demand.

Alright, I think this has gone on long enough.

I was the one that sent the cap to litster. 

I made these using only the finest materials known to fish, and man, kind.  Plastic from the rarest of trees, marker fluid from a giant squid (only one so the chemical makeup is perfectly consistant) and I crafted the device I used to make this art using techniques known to tattoo gun makers. 

Saying all of that, if there's enough interest in this cap, I supposed I could let a limited few have them for a nominal fee.  Let's call that fee $200, which I say is quite the deal for what I'm offering exclusively to geekhack members that own cherry ML switches. I may be convinced to do this for topre, too, but that's it.
