Title: Clack Info Thread
Post by: CPTBadAss on Wed, 30 January 2013, 20:44:11
This thread is not the Clack Therapy thread. Please go there or elsewhere to vent. I would really appreciate this thread to stay true to the OP, even if I have been insanely lazy about updating it.

Mashby has making these really awesome lists (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39616.msg780393) lately. So I thought I’d ride his coat tails and do something similar. I also stole his idea of making a GH Click Clack Wiki page (http://wiki.geekhack.org/index.php?title=Clack_Factory). Check it out!
 
Clacks are pretty popular on GH. But us newbies don’t really get a lot of info on them. All of a sudden, we see a 3D going for $300 and we think it might be worth it. Well before you do that, maybe you can get some info here.

Edit on 10/8/13: The prices and colors here might be a little outdated. The "price guide' is about a 6 month window from October 2012 to April 2013. Keeping track of all the prices is too much work for one person. Also, the colors in this thread and the Wiki may not be complete. I will be updating/consolidating the two threads when the new Wiki rolls out.

Edit on 12/7/13: Finally getting around to updating the information. A better explanation of the different ClickClack keycap types is now available.

Edit on 8/28/14: I have not followed second hand Clack prices for a while. I don't follow them anymore and have adjusted the OP accordingly. Please refer to the Pricing Thread or the Price Check Thread for more information. Also a quick Google search of the Classifieds or elsewhere will show a good amount of pricing information.

What are Clacks? (ToC) (#post_TOC)
Officially called ClickClack keycaps, they are created by the user Click Clack who also has an account named Clack Factory. Other names for they caps are "Clacks", "CCs", "Click Clacks", and even "Clarks". They are novelty caps that fit on the Function/Escape row, arrow cluster, or WASD cluster. The caps have three different designs; they come in the form of a raised skull, an etched/infilled leaf, and blank. They come in a variety of colors and can fit different types of keyboards (MX, Topre, etc). More details can be found below.
 
How are they made and where can I buy one of these Clacks? (ToC) (#post_TOC)
You can buy them from EliteKeyboards (http://elitekeyboards.com/) (EK), from ClickClack himself in his GH vendor forum (http://geekhack.org/index.php?board=78.0), or from the GH classifieds section. The most famous of his sales are his 4Grabs sales (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=24467.0). Periodic updates into ClickClack's cap making work can be found in his Head's Up (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=24468.0) thread.

Most of the current cap makers hand pour their caps into silicone molds. Bro Caps has a 6 part metal mold (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51987.0) to make his BroBot V2 caps. It has been rumored that ClickClack may have an injection molding machine but it's very possible he hand pours his caps. The running joke is that he's cool dude (true) who has a lot of gnomes (who knows??), and that he carves them with his gnomes. So even though we all know Clacks are Gnome-carved, ClickClack tries to throw us off his scent. (From the Post Your Clacks (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33569.msg688677#msg688677) thread.) The current best guess is that the caps have a mold that is either injection molded or hand poured, then ClickClack hand finishes them.
 
Are 3D mx triple shot or do they have painted eyes?
I believe that they are painted.
nope =)
They are triple molded and are semi-opaque.
 
Now that's interesting :O
Or is it?  =P

Clacks are made in the follow 4 stem types:

Clacks then come in the following flavors (thanks to esoomenona for the help):

1)   Skulls can come in a single color, transluscent/see through (aka trans), bi-color, or tri-color. The transluscents can now be found in a glow-in-the-dark hue as well as the standard colors such as transluscent red. Bi-colors usually come in two types: a solid color with different colored eyes (Mr. Friday, Nightowl) or have a different face color (Drunken Skull, Skeletor). Tricolor skulls are usually split into three colors. The body has one color, the face has another, and the eyes have a third (such as the original or OG tri-color or Salute). Other tri-colors have a body with layered colors (Candy Corn skull) or mis-matched eyes (3D).

2)   Blank Clacks are non-skull caps that come in single, double (such as Oktoberfest), or triple colored layers (such as Julysicle). There are also Splats, which are blanks but have a bloody splatter image on them. Splats aren’t layered.

3)   Clusters are Blank Clacks that come in a set that fit on the WASD or arrow clusters. They have their own ClackFactory profile, which I believe is between OEM and Cherry.

5)   For Halloween 2013, there was an EliteKeyboards sale (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50298.msg1096095#msg1096095) with this new cap style from ClackFactory. It looks like an ogre or troll instead of the old standard of skulls and blanks. Gumrots come in MX and are solid. GummyRots are MX and Topre and come in a translucent color.

6)   These keycaps have a marijuana leaf on them. There are two types of leaves: O’ Natural and Toast. O’ Natural is more like the original leaf. Toast is a simplified more bold pattern. Then there are four color variations:

7)   ClackFactory has done a lot of different caps (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=24463.msg461471#msg461471) and many different materials. He’s done everything from the Deskthority Award’s Wingnut cap to swappable magnetic fridge stems for his caps.

I should also say that some of the Clacks used to come in sets. For example Nightowl, T2 Terminator, and I think the black/red splats came from a set called Bloodshot. ClickClack's cryptic explanation can be found here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33569.msg879793#msg879793).

Retail Price of a Clack (ToC) (#post_TOC)
How much is a clack going to cost me? Here's some pricing from 2013.
 
This is from danielucf in the What we got in the mail thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33130.msg780832#msg780832). He’s a cool dude with a lot of info.
Out of curiosity how much were the CC's? I want to know a baseline resale price people think is a good deal so I don't get ripped off. Thanks.
If you sell or buy at their retail price which has been between $14-34, roughly, you will not be ripped off. I believe single colors have been $14-24 depending on if it was straight from Clack Factory, or a little more if it was from elitekeyboards. Tri-colors are more in the upper range like $26-34. Obviously anything above retail is profit, and how much you want to profit during resale is up to you.

So these prices are from EK or from Clack when he sells them. ClickClack will sell them direct in his 4Grabs sales. He’ll also do random sales like this laser charged sale (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=24467.msg463581#msg463581) which was for a MX Black Vader cap. In the EliteKeyboards sales, he’ll do a lottery. You register your information and if you get picked, EK will send you an invoice.
 
Now if you want to take your chances in the classifieds… (Thanks to jdcarpe! This was also posted in the What Did You Get in the Mail Thread.  Also a cool dude.)
We could start a new thread just for this discussion, but the average prices they have been going for lately, i.e. market value, not retail (and charitable sellers notwithstanding) are these:
 
Solid colors $3o-110+
Tri-colors $120-150+
Rare/limited $200-250+
 
That's what you could expect to pay when buying them at auction or from a seller who paid those prices for them.
 
If you are patient, people sometimes give them away for free, or sell them at cost. Or sell them at a personal loss, to try and do something nice for someone.

Now if we want to go back in time a little, we can find more pricing. The pricing below is a bit dated but it's from Clack's 4Grabs Sale Thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=24467.msg463610#msg463610). This means these are retail prices are directly from ClickClack himself. You can see how pricing changed over the course of ten months: from December 2011 to September 2012. I'm not sure if a Hack Orange is worth more than a Milk Blue. It might be a judgement call. (I'll update if I can find more info.)

Colors (ToC) (#post_TOC)
 
Now that we have an idea of what we can expect/want to pay, we have a more important question: What color clack should we get? Now Clack has a listing of all the colors he’s made. (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=24466.msg713021#msg713021) But I have an issue with the list: There’s no pictures! Don’t panic. Also, I've unearthed a little picture that might help to explain some of his color names:

(http://i.imgur.com/5ptmwkO.jpg)

If you ever wondered why it was called P1 Purple or T2 Terminator. This is why. ClackFactory has a master list/grid and that's how he plans it. This is the only pictures I've been able to find of this. I don't have a full matrix to post.

Title: Re: Clack Info Thread - Please Help Me ID Some Colors!
Post by: CPTBadAss on Wed, 30 January 2013, 20:44:35
Now here’s where I need help. The question marks and the comments mean I need some help. If you could tell me what the color names are, I’d be very grateful. And please let me know if any info I have is wrong or can be added to. I’ll update as I get more info.

When I feel like the OP has a pretty good amount of colors, I plan on migrating the info to the GH wiki. There is now a page I'm happy with over at the GH Wiki with some of the info from this thread. If I borrowed your picture, you'll definitely get credit in the wiki article. If you help ID a color, I'll give you credit in my article.

And thanks to anyone who has helped with ID's so far  :D

Oh and my favorites? I like the skulls.  Skeletor, Salute, and the GH Tricolor. I really love the tri-colors. And single colors? P1 Purple, Octopink, and Ionospheric Blue.

If you're curious about the Table of Contents, I used the BBCode Manual (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=57.0) provided by mkawa. Thanks kawa!

* = Guess, Waiting for confirmation (Someone says yes that's the name or I see a few of the same guesses for the same cap)

I'll have to find Kisakuku's pictures... we could get a TON of colors out of that, plus they're convieniently sepersted into MX and Topre. There's also the Wingnut clack from the DT awards. Though you will NEVER be able to buy one.

I'm not even sure if I'll ever get one as it is so it's all good. I saw that Wingnut cap though, it was awesome. If I can find the pic I'll post it.

Basically you just click the title just above where it says "Reply #7 on: ...".  That will give you the direct link to that individual post.

Genius. So useful. Thanks rowdy

SmallFry mentioned this to me. I figured I was going to get some more colors ID'd and then try and add them myself. I have another picture or two I want to ID. As well as the jcrouse pic that I used. I'll PM you for help when I'm done?

I've heard "Q" in Reapers pic being called Skeletor. But I'm not sure if that's the real name.

Also, are you sure all those blacks are depth blacks? There's other blacks floating around that aren't "depth". I don't know what the regular black is called. Maybe someone could chime in?

Skeletor is Purple with Yellow Face and Black eyes I think right? I know I saw one and was DROOLING over it. I know it has some form of purple in it...

Unsure of all the black colors. Clack's list is a bit confusing but I'm trying my best to figure it out.

5,6,7 - yolk yellow, orangsicle, hack orange?

I think 7 is orangesicle, since it looks similar to the yellow on candy corn, not darker than the orange on it.
5 could be a milk yellow?

Also, we need some pics of the metallic and translucent caps. How about Ripsters red Darth Vader(I think he has that one)?

Oh can't forget the Deskthority Wingnut caps made by CC himself. Silver and gold.

I'm glad you like it.

This seems as good a thread as any to ask in, so why are Clacks so rare? There's obviously plenty large of a market for them, so why aren't more produced?

If we flooded the market with Maseratis or Lambos, would those be as special? I don't think so. Clacks, I feel, are the same way. They're special because they're a little harder to come by and not everyone has one. Plus they look amazing. I wish I could vouch for the quality but I don't have one. The ones that are out there, people don't want to sell.

And I think that Clack has a very small team. I heard he actually has his own equipment to make it. So if he's got a full time job/family/real life obligations, he can't be running injection molding machines or coaxing his gnomes for carvings. And since he's got high quality standards (See his stuff on closed eyes and F2 clacks in the 4Grabs), he needs to take his time making them instead of blasting through the creation. I know from first hand experience that injection molding and other plastic creation tools can be fast, but the faster the machines go, the lower the quality is.

Edit: Like I thought. Check out this post from ClickClack as to how much time he puts into making his caps (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=9456.msg460574#msg460574)

The thing that still blows my mind is the attention to detail. I have what I would consider a flawless grey CC. However it wasn't perfect in CC's eyes. He could of easily not put a hole in the back and charge more, but for whatever reason it was not up to his standards. Seeing as how these are limited quantity to begin with, that is impressive. The quality really shows when you put them up against other people doing custom caps. I just got a gas mask in the mail and while cool, it did not look polished at all. It looks like they threw the cheap plastic face on the cheap plastic cap and took a soldering iron to the edges to melt the plastic together. The only angle it looks good is top-down. That brings me to my next point, the material used in making CC's is definitely unique as well. I can't explain it, but it's almost like plastic/ceramic. I cant explain it. I really would like a wasd set because I think they would be good for gaming.

That is his secret that distinguishes him from the rest, while there can be attempts to enter this market with similar products like the gas mask, and brobots, the material composition of the CCs are far superior; it's like comparing regular brands to super luxury items. Also 21 is Midnight Indigo.

I knew it. It's gnome bones. When the elderly gnomes cannot carve anymore, their bones are sacrificed to become the clacks. It's the never ending cycle of ClickClack's gnomes.  :p

Also I think #21 is Midnight Blue. I matched it to the picture in the 4Grabs thread. Midnight Indigo looks to be slightly more purple. I'm going to keep it as Midnight Blue until I get a few more ppl chiming in that its Indigo.

hey CPT -- what do you think about a rarity guide rather than a price guide? Something like a 1-10 scale representing the availability of a specific cap? Something seems weird about even a loose price guide. To me it lends credibility to the idea that small pieces of plastic (even handcrafted artisan plastic) are worth more than $30 on the secondhand market, which they clearly have sold for, but not without accounting for the fact that some people just have the money (raised/earned outside of geekhack in 99% of cases) to raise the market value of things without regard to the community's perception of certain products.

Yeah I'm inclined to agree with sth, but simply for the fact that a CC is worth either what you are willing to pay for it, or how cool the person selling it is. Any solid pricing through the classifieds and post sale consumerism is just hearsay and hurts the market in the long run.

Noisyturtle, I don't understand how it hurts. My guide is by no means telling people what they should sell their clacks for. It's what I see in the classifieds. If I didnt have the guide, wouldnt the prices be the same anyways?

I would definitely want to try one of those keys to see if I like it at all before spending that much money on it.

What's to try? They're simply collectibles. Throw it in the ESC row and call it a day.

Does anyone know if it's possible to order more than one of the same clack during a sale? Let's say the limit was three clacks like the last sale, would it be possible to list....8 8 8 in your order form and get three of the same clack?

No, you get one one of each number he lists. So you can only get one #8.

Ages ago I asked here about translucent info.

I got a response from CC himself a while back. He says the translucent keycaps (any many others) were not sold in public sales.

Just in case anyone's interested.

I wonder what service those who have a transparent CC had to perform to get one.

Or what sacrifice they had to make.

Be on GH 4 years ago? They were apparently pretty easy to get, all you had to do was ask for what you wanted CC to make you.

It'll pay off in the end.

Actually, wouldn't you know if you already built a time machine, though?

I've updated the OP with some info I thought should be there. Check it out. I also stated this before but there will be an overhaul when the new Wiki comes. I will be combining this and the Wiki and hopefully make a more comprehensive article.

And as always, any help is appreciated.

Need help.
I bought a clack in fengs auction. It was declared as "white". I was curious cause it didn't look like the common hardcore white on the pics, so I bought it.

Received it today and it really wasn't hardcore white. It nearly has the same base color as the 3D clack. Maybe very little different, but this could be due age.

Anybody knows its name? Is it "Depth White"?

Can take pics tomorrow with hc and 3d as comparison.

thanks

Yes they're plastic...I use them on one of my daily drivers on the arrow cluster, they don't really wear. I've seen an OG Tricolor that yellowed though.

Most people keep them on the function row, Escape is popular.

My WASD cluster got a little shine on it after about a year of heavy use. It's not too bad though, and only noticeable when the light catches it.

I guess most people wouldn't put Skull keycaps where they use then regularly, except something obvious like Esc.

It would be kinda distracting to type on a board of just Skulls.

Mailman marked my package with two clacks as delivered online.   Ran to locked mailbox, nothing in it.  See the truck down the street, and see him throwing a bubble mailer back into his truck.  Sprint and catch up.

"Hey, did you forget to put something in Apartment X at Y address?  I got a notification and it isn't there"

"Uh nope, don't know, there wasn't a package for there"

"It should be a bubble mailer.  With insurance.  Kinda like that one there on the dash" *points*

"Oh um... yeah.  Is this your address?"

"...Yes.  Here's my ID, let me have my package."

And that is how I almost got clack-jacked.

PS.  Sorry if this is the wrong thread (ie not clack therapy), but I was pretty stunned to have that happen to a package.  Watch yo clacks!

Quick followup to the mail-debacle.  I mentioned it to the local post office since it was a replacement mail person and the office is four blocks away.  I didn't want to directly accuse a man of stealing, but I did mention the exchange and mentioned the route that he serviced which they took note of (let's see how useful that is...).  The reason I didn't feel comfortable accusing him of theft was simply because he shouldn't have known there were Clacks in there (they were inside plastic display cases for shipping), but they did sound like small pieces of jewelry or something.  Combine that with the fact they were in a bubble mailer (not from the factory so no marker art, idk if he thought he was poaching some rings off Etsy or something, but I don't think he was expecting it to be keycaps unless he's some sort of Clack-hound.

t2russo, what are you referring to? I'm not following your train of thought sorry. Someone tried to steal stuff from your post office box?

Mailman marked my package with two clacks as delivered online.   Ran to locked mailbox, nothing in it.  See the truck down the street, and see him throwing a bubble mailer back into his truck.  Sprint and catch up.

"Hey, did you forget to put something in Apartment X at Y address?  I got a notification and it isn't there"

"Uh nope, don't know, there wasn't a package for there"

"It should be a bubble mailer.  With insurance.  Kinda like that one there on the dash" *points*

"Oh um... yeah.  Is this your address?"

"...Yes.  Here's my ID, let me have my package."

And that is how I almost got clack-jacked.

PS.  Sorry if this is the wrong thread (ie not clack therapy), but I was pretty stunned to have that happen to a package.  Watch yo clacks!

It was a private sale? Because if it was addressed from 'Elite Keyboards' it would be sorta obvious what was in there...
Title: Re: Clack Info Thread
Post by: t2russo on Tue, 03 December 2013, 13:45:39
Yes it was, which is why I was assuming he thought it was jewelry or something.  To be fair I do get a ton of keyboard stuff in to this address and I think someone else in my building is a keyboard nerd (I heard them yelling with excitement about a chocolate mini showing up...), but this was a substitute mailman around the holiday weekend.

I haven't seen very many BS clacks in general. AFAIK, there's seven colors in the BS flavor:

- Revenge Red
- Ionospheric Blue
- Hack Orange
- Depth Black
- Mr. Friday
- OG Tricolor
- Salute

Seems like Mr. Friday and the original tri-color are the rarest of the bunch. And I think there was only one Salute BS sold over the July 4th 4grabs sale. But I'm not 100% on that.

It is an mx adapter of sorts. It's a magnet so you can hang your clacks on your fridge when they're not on your keyboard. Seriously, check out this post (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50090.msg1089168#msg1089168) and this picture (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50090.msg1090038#msg1090038).

Edit: This update (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39794.0#post_Colors) is pretty cool too.


Awesome, thanks. I want a Topre HHKB function key so bad now!

There are fn cc's now???

Always have been! Oktoberfest, Julysicle, and Candy Corn FN's

Just so few around by the looks of things that no one has seen them. Only ones I have seen are on eth0s's board.

yep he has julysicle and oktoberfest and i dont know if anyone here has the candy corn :( maybe just clacks close friends or ripster.
I think eth0s also has the machine green, toxic, pink and maybe the yellow fn keys?

From what I see, only one fn per color (but not every color) were released to the public.

Will you add the two 1.5x Lego CC's that go on tab and \?

They're not Clacks. See here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47238.msg1005727#msg1005727) for explanation.

wait **** they're not cc's?

Can somebody tell me which of my drunken skulls is normal and which not?

[attachimg=1]

One is clear transparent, its possible to look through it and clearly see the topre stem... The other one is not really transparent, it's more mat/opaque... The other difference is the face. One has that very bright white face. and the other one has a kind of thiner and not so bright white face. I know that they're handmade and each is different... but as you see on the picture... they just look different...

I'm just curious how other ones of them look and what would be considered normal.
Title: Re: Clack Info Thread
Post by: CPTBadAss on Tue, 07 January 2014, 09:30:55
From the two that I've seen in person, the one you posted on the left looks more "correct". I think that most of the ones I've seen in pictures are brighter white like the left one.

That being said, I've never actually owned or seen more than one at once so hopefully others can chime in with their thoughts too.
Title: Re: Clack Info Thread
Post by: kektr0city on Tue, 07 January 2014, 13:35:59
Well the one I sent Snoopy is on the right and I got that one straight from EK.  Hard to tell if one is more "correct" than the other, but my guess is slight variations in the materials Click Clack used cause the differences in color / translucent-ness between the two.
Title: Re: Clack Info Thread
Post by: CPTBadAss on Tue, 07 January 2014, 13:38:45
Yup, you're absolutely right kektr0city. Maybe I shouldve said normal instead of correct. Definitely not saying it's not legit. Only that it looks different.

Have no fear, they are both more or less normal.
Well... as normal as drunken skull keycaps can be. =P

The left one is the frosted texture (which affects apparent translucency) and the one on the right is not.
The one on the right also has a more translucent frothy head. There are usually three different stages of frothy.
I thought the variation made it more interesting. Same with the candy corns, Julysicles, etc.

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'm pretty sure zenuty has 3 different grey shades of clack skulls. Not sure if they were mx or topre. I remember seeing a picture. I will try and dig up the photo

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

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".

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"...  ;)

<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...

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.  :thumb:

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"...  ;)

I thought Clack already said otherwise in here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=24466.msg469495#msg469495). 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.
You thought correctly and were corrected correctly.  =)

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

I'll probably liquidate all my 420's if I can finally get a Mr. Friday MX this year.

Now that I have a Julysicle I just need to get the Friday to have the two clacks that got me chasing the dragon.

EDIT

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

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.

Is there some scratch line at the edge in the last pic showing the bottom?

It's worth noting that this is the most expensive cap clickclack has ever sold, and that it's "only" a single color skull. I wonder if this is a reaction to the market?

I did not receive one, but heard of the price from someone who did. Perhaps someone who did can confirm, but I believe they were $45.

If so, yes, that is a tad higher than previously.  Perhaps the material?  The colour?  The time to make a small exclusive batch?
Title: Re: Clack Info Thread
Post by: naasfu on Mon, 07 April 2014, 20:48:29
They were $40 shipped in the US.  My guess is higher material fees, and hopefully CC needs to raise some money to make more for us? :)

Post by: riotonthebay on Mon, 07 April 2014, 20:50:03
It could be any one of these :). I think the price remains reasonable -- I would immediately purchase any clack for $45 $40 -- but I'm curious about the change nonetheless.

I still refuse to buy one for more than what CC sells them for. Whatever that price may be.

Whatever the reason for the price increase, I hope it leads to more great stuff from CC in the future.

is 420 still relevant now that you can get pot in two states or is 420 an national law? Don't smoke so I don't know the background behind 420

if there is going to be a sale, cc will say so in his sub forum

You can look back at his 4 grabs thread you can see how it works, not sure if he has any intentions changing it or not. (or if there will even be a 420 sale, no confirmation yet, as other said)

You can subscribe to the thread and subforum but honestly, it isn't all that accurate at times. It can take 30+ mins for some people to get an email saying there is a new thread or post made.

So really, it comes down to luck if it is a spur of the moment sale like this last sale.

But to be safe, click notify in that 4 grabs thread, and click notify on the clack factory subforum.

For the last few sales (4/20/13, 4th of July, Fall EK), CC has given a lot of heads up. If there isn't an announcement by now, I don't think there's going to be a 4/20 sale. I don't know why we're all so certain it's coming. It's just a rumor as far as I'm concerned, *NOT* official.

Normally a few days before there will be a post in the 4grabs thread with instructions on how to submit your interest and sometimes photos will be shown as well. Normally items are numbered and there will be an email address listed right before the sale and you will simply follow the instructions given and send an email at the given time for the items you want. The rest is up to fate.

My guess for Mr. Friday is a reference to Good Friday for Easter.  And for Miz Kite, I have no idea.  The only thing that pops up in my head is the word "kismet", which means fate.

Pretty sure Mr. Friday is for Mr. Friday Night like a party animal that goes w the 420 theme. I assume Miz Kite is a mister high as a kite.

Ahhh haha shwoosh.  Thanks man, that definitely makes more sense.  Mr. Friday is definitely the most jovial of all Clacks.

Wait wut?  I thought Mr. Friday had red eyes because he worked hard all week, and he was just tired.

Haha, sorry I misunderstood you, Mr. Friday.  Poor old sod.

Interesting, but yeah Miz Kite is far from ugly!  And female Clacks?  I wonder if there's a difference if you look at the underside...

It could work - people are often happy to swap one Clack for another they want.

You will need a few more posts before you can post a trade thread though.

Hack Orange is one of the most common colors, so your options might be limited.  Trading Topre for MX in the same color should be doable, or for other common colors like Mint Gum and F2 Red.

iirc, only the solid yellow one was up for a little while, I would have to check again though since the pages were not updated inline with the stock.
The tri-colors however were sold out in a relatively short time. Significantly less than two days I think. It could have been two hours and the solid red ones were two days.  I really should check my old records at some point and not rely on my memory.

Im fairly certain that every clack sale for the past year and a half or more has sold out in roughly the same amount of time. Except for maybe one unadvertised spur of the moment Hack Orange sale that I got in on sending an email minutes after it started which is an eternity for these sales. That was probably over a year ago.

66MHz, 42, Darkside (Vader) spring to mind as extremely rare, and thus most likely not for sale, at least not for any remotely reasonable or unreasonable amount of money.

Mr Friday - it seems that not THAT many of them were made, plus the subject matter, plus the two colours make them more desirable, hence people are prepared to pay a bit more for them.

There are many clacks that have never been seen by eyes outside their owners. CC has made caps from different precious metals, stones (would actually consider doing something "weird" for the bizmuth clack,) and even bone (still have that human femur, offer still standing CC.) So there's no telling what someone might pay for those novelties. CC's worked with a lot of different materials from what I've heard.

As for the most expensive, some clacks reach upwards of $400, probably more in private offers that happen through super secret spy channels that only exist in your mind :P

And why is Mr. Friday so expensive? Have you seen Mr. Friday?  :cool:

The T2 went for over $400, OG Tri's usually go for upwards of $300-400, the GH Tri... probably goes/went for a lot, Ruby Red(translucent) is highly sought after as is many of the other older translucent CC anything (but there's controversy over these, fugget-a-bout-it) and of the BMX clacks are something I want to rub all over my naked body and then get some oil and... ahem they usually go for at least $200-300 aftermarket.

There's more, much more That's why clacks are fun, there's some crust to dig up, history, discovery, whatever. You know some crazy ****'s out there, the man himself has said it, but it's like... treasure hunting, ya know?  :p

One thing I started doing to complement the OP thread is to see how I can create an album from all these recent super shots by dustin and naasfu into a browse-able format. I tried a few apps and settled on Penultimate simple because
1) it can be sync to Evernote which can be shared
2) export as PDF
3) I can use a stylus and write the name on the photos without destroying the photos

I will probably comb through this thread and work on these more. A preview at this moment.

If anyone wants to help out, I'll see if we can collaborate on this via Evernote.

I'm not into the wiki format at all. The clack wiki took me an embarrassingly long time to create.

You know we have a wiki now right?? Why isn't anyone asking for a wiki account and helping out with that now? I have no idea. I've had people offer then when they discover wiki code and needing an account they disappear. This all ties into why GH is getting rid of media Wiki

When is the actual new wiki coming? didn't you say months ago that there would be a big change? o.O

I think people would contribute if it was an open format because right now it doesn't seem like that at all..

Don't know when rkinze is going to implement it. I've said many times I'm waiting for it too.

And no one wants to help with the current Wiki. I've had offers but no one has come through. It's open, you want an account? It's incredibly easy to get one. You literally just need to ask a mod or me for access to the wiki and that's it.

Prove to me that it's useful and viable for geekhack. Yes I am the head off the wikiteam/Keepers of the faith so I can ask the admins and mods to keep the status quo.

I only think people complain about the wiki because no one at all works on it and it doesn't serve any purpose at all. the new keepers of the faith/new wiki thing sounded great but it's been literally months (since like september?) since it was announced and nothing has been done at all, so it just seems like random titles were given out. Plus it's hard to take the GH wiki seriously when compared to the DT one lols.

I think it has potential and a real clack wiki would be cool but...

I've been waiting months too. If I knew any different I'd let the community know.

And that's another reason why we should get rid I'd the wiki and move to the format outlined in the mission statement. We don't need to try and compete with the DT wiki. Ideally is like to see more help go thereon that wiki and then people coming up with knowledge here to move into or future wiki. Like those new geekhackers videos? Those are fantastic.

But I feel like I'm repeating myself. If you want to make a change and help, help out on the wiki. Our help out the keepers team and help us find info. You've been helping recently, with the Cherry stuff in simple questions. There been progress there. Just because you don't remember it doesn't mean things aren't happening.

Make a thread on something you're interested in. Mods, painting, bro caps, stabilizers, whatever you like. My team and I well move it into thepost wiki workshop and that's the staging point for future wiki.

Or if you want ideas, the mission statement thread has ideas. I'd like to create a summary of the soldering thread. And I'd love to see a thread like this for bingecaps, kbk, bro bots, zombros. There's a new gb thread to keep track of current GBs. It's in the GB forum. There's the new geekhacker YouTube channel, maybe make a video review or disassembly video.

Pretty much? Make a thread of what you're into? We'll (the keepers) will figure out how to organize that info.

A good example of this happening recently is smasher816s hhkb controller thread. That's definitely getting moved to the new wiki when it's time.

Evernote has a desktop and browser base app and I can create one account and share with you. But I think you probably need a iPad and Penultimate app to easily add photo and write on it as per my screenshot. I'll explore a bit and see if it can be exported to Google Docs.

The beauty of this, is all I need to do is import photo with a tap and write the name of the Clacks. I don't new lengthy text and uber coding, which I find this is daunting. That's why I'm not good at wikis.

I don't mind doing this on my own as it is really easy. The help I need is to PM me links to the high res photo which I can download to the iPad and the name of the Clack.

Captain, let me send you links to the exported version or the public Evernote page and let's see how it looked like online. If it's a notebook like interface and allows easy browsing, I think this would be a great format for browsing Clacks.

After swapping for a depth black, I officially have determined my first skull was not a Depth Black.  My nightowl, 420, and this new depth black are all purplish under direct sunlight, while my original clack is a deep matte black reflective of lighting. 

Not an F2, it doesn't match my bicolor leaf with depth black inlay either.  Is this hardcore black?  Anyone who has a horde of blacks want to chime in?  Pics are hard to capture, but in person it is clear that it isn't a faded version of the same plastic.  Way too uniformly black.

Did you mean to say your original clack is matte and not reflective?  Is the new Depth Black you got the top middle Clack in the last picture (ie, the shiny looking one)?

For single color black skulls, I only have Depth Black (or at least that's what I was told when I got it).  I sent the following description to someone else earlier.  I have not compared these in the sunlight, however.

It's difficult to tell, but Depth Black looks like a darker black than Night Owl, OG Tri and Jack.  It's also shiny/smooth on the sides, whereas the others are matte and textured.  Night Owl feels more like a very dark charcoal color, and OG Tri feels a little lighter than that.  But they're all still pretty close to black.

Thus my confusion. I'm pretty sure the purplish ones ARE depth black, and the fact that my 420 (only made in depth not other blacks) and the new skull both match the body of the Night Owl EXACTLY has got my jimmies all a-rustled.

new one is, in order: next to Night Owl, below Toast, middle of row, and then top center of T

So I checked again.  My Depth Black is shiny on the sides, whereas my Night Owl is not.  Depth Black is a deeper black, and Night Owl is like an off-black like a very dark charcoal color.

Obviously the other Clack you have is a Chartreuse.

I'm not going to lie to you. Without better pictures, they look identical to me. Looks like you've used the caps more than the others so maybe there's some oils on it? But honestly, this kind of reminds me of the anodization on the KMAC LEs. I think you might be right about the depth vs hardcore black though.

Edit: I think you still have one of the Depth Blacks I traded you? If so, it's definitely got some oils on it.

I just compared my depth black topre (the oldest of the three), my nightowl and my depth black bs skull. And they're really different. I already saw that/mentioned it when I first got my nightowl after the release. But currently can't find the post. Here's an older post of blindrage, who also saw that: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49685.0

my depth black topre is really black, and nightowl and depth black bs have kind of a little red or something in it. you can see it especially under sunlight (and mostly when you compare them direct).

I also tried to capture it, but failed:  :))

depth black topre is the oldest, I think I bought it second hand when I started collecting (can't remember correctly). The other two came directly from cc... have both seen sunlight but normally no direct sunlight on it and also not that much... so only time can tell or cc himself. :)
Title: Re: Clack Info Thread
Post by: t2russo on Fri, 09 May 2014, 10:11:42
I'm just going off written information.

So far: Night Owl, a skull, and a Toast were supposed to be made in "Depth Black".  Depth Black on any previous EK sales was coded as 5C, and both NO and the Skull were sold on EK with this designation.  Additionally, the Toast AFAIK has never been made in any black other than Depth Black.  Both of my skulls were pre-owned, so the proper nomenclature has been lost (one was traded to me as a depth black, one was traded after my inquiry into hardcore black skulls). 

When I acquired this second skull, for science I asked its owner to match it most closely to the Night Owl that they owned, since there was a clear difference in the black between the solid color skull and the night owl/toast.  Moment my new skull arrived I could tell it was the EXACT same shade of purplish black.

So either CC changed the formula or over time the black keys have gotten shuffled around and the naming conventions are slightly off.  I don't think you wore this one out CPT, the color difference it too uniform all over the entire body and underside of the key.

PS. going with Naasfu's nickname for the unknown deep black for now: chartreuse.
Title: Re: Clack Info Thread
Post by: eth0s on Fri, 09 May 2014, 10:37:00
Well, CC once put out a list of his colors and at that time he listed these different blacks:

Depth Black
Exxxon Black
Sinter Black
Pasties Black
Stardust Black

Also I've heard talk of "hardcore black", but that might have been people conflating it with "hardcore white".    Anyway, I've had conversations with other collectors about black Clacks, and the consensus opinion among the "experts" is that there was only one kind of black ever made.  But, I have seen different shades as well.  Only Click Clack himself could really answer this mystery of the blacks. 

I think we covered this already, but the bigger mystery to me is the Purples.  There is a great variability in what people call P1 Purple.  I dunno if they are all P1's or if they are actually other kinds of purple, and people are just mistaken about the name.  CC's list of purples included the following:

Absent Purple
Gum Purple
Icy Purple
P1 (purple)
Masters of the Universe (MOTU) Purple

Midnight Indigo [nothing looks like this one]

and

Milk Purple
Concrete Purple

Milk and Concrete are difficult to distinguish from each other as well.  I have a "concrete", but I'm not sure it's not "milk purple".

Understanding Clacks is like peeling an onion, for every layer to peel off, there are even more layers of mystery underneath.  Welcome to the club t2russo.

In regards to a discolored CC I received, while this may not apply to your black collection, these are a few things to consider. Edited for relevant information.

2) Low angle UV light could possibly cause that issue.
3) High heat (few hundred deg F) for a short period of time could possibly cause that issue
4) A strong chemical wiped over the surface could possibly alter the surface

Since not all of my keys resist sunlight the same I would go with possible UV exposure. Some of my keys have great UV resistance, some have moderate and some have very low resistance. It depends on the materials, composition, and treatment.

It's crazy seeing that UV fade.  This one is consistent all the way around the sides/back of the cap which is why I ruled out environment/exposure instantly. 

I'm assuming that was a darker purple and the fade was where it was exposed to light?  I'm digging the wabi-sabi, but I also haven't washed my current pair of jawnz since November...  :eek:

I don't think any sane person would put their CC under direct sun light unless is for taking photo. But will that few minutes of photo  taking under sun light cause the caps to discolor? It is also unbelievable unless that particular material is UV sensitive.
maybe i'm insane (hahahaaha, maybe?) but people who have seen kawa keyboard with its ion blue clack know that i use it just like any other escape key on a keyboard. the way i see it, there are lots of clacks and keyboards out there. this one is different. this one is mine :)
Using is not insane.

Exposing to sun and get them discolored = insane!

Why buy clacks if you're going to stash them away in a container somewhere?

That purple clack that ekw posted probably has been set on a keyboard that is constantly exposed to the sun, like mkawa's. So the underside is the original colour while the top side got faded. The strange thing is how uniform it fades at the top. Unless it wasn't the sun but some desk lamp that fires UV light. Hmm..

If we are talking skull for skull then in my opinion no. Tri colors are rarer.

But it is totally subjective to the traders point of view.

Gummyrot 420 for Candy Corn blank?  That might be doable.  For Candy Corn skull, very unlikely.  CC Skull is worth about twice as much.

I had a ton of pics of clacks I've never seen posted since on my laptop. Unfortunately that was stolen a couple years ago, so I mean technically they are still out there. I've never actually seen the one CC did in Bismuth, he just mentioned it in a past conversation we had, but since then that's always been the one I've been most curious about.

It's a difficult material to work with, even for a metal because of it's inherit designs and brittleness. But what a neat material!

The currently complete list of BS/BMX clacks should be:

Salute
OG Tri
Mr Friday
Enviro
Good Times Green
Globe Blue
Hack Orange
Revenge Red
Hardcore White
Ionospheric Blue
Gumrot Green
Depth Black

Also afaik there're currently only skulls available for BS. The only exception I know of are those checker plate clacks that one can see in CCs gallery: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=24466.msg469495#msg469495

BS clacks are kind of hard to collect, cause there aren't that many of them around. They only get sold through 4grabs and not on ek (so should be less of them compared to t or mx). But on the other side, there are also less bs clack collectors. Most collectors concentrate on mx or topre.

Let me know if I forgot something.  :)

Those pictures are total ****, and I would be willing to be my REAL Nightowl that someone just got ****ed.
1. Not the same sacks CC uses
2. Not the way CC draws them
3. Potato pics
4. Seller with a rating of 3

Sorry for whoever just got raped. This is one of the reasons why banning auctions was a stupid idea.

Not sure how this correlates to banning auctions on gh being a stupid idea.

If this is someone that is flogging a fake/ripping of another person. They most likely would not have used gh in the first place.

If this auction were held on GH people could have called them out before someone got ripped off, plus the seller would go right on the black list. Them putting it up on Ebay instead would've been a red flag. At least Ebay has limited buyer's protection, hopefully whoever bought it can file a claim before it's too late.

I'm not completely positive it's a fake, but I am at least 90% sure based off those pictures and other factors.

People get ripped off anyway.  Look at how many idiots paid for the clack in the classifieds sticky and didnt say anything for 2 days even though someone else already said the paid for it.

Look at pacifist's IC for tkl cases.  Within 5 posts we pointed out it wouldnt be worth doing and there were still another ~ten posts expressing interest or asking for links.  People don't ****ing read.  If this **** was on GH people would be all over it bc "omg a clack on classifieds, this might be my only chance to get one".

I'm more interested in the GID eyes, I've never seen Clack do that before. Could be a one off but there are so many red flags on this is just feels suspect to me.

Then again, maybe this is one of the fabled dibs Clacks.

Lulz, you guys are bad at speculating. =P
It looks legit to me despite the tater picks. It is indeed a Night Owl too, Senzunite Owl's are black but a different shade, far more purple looking. It's actually called black plum after an older two bi/zwei-color key.


I found a fake trans blue on kbdmania I messaged clack about it a week ago but haven't heard back.

Sorry about that, I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind. Not much to say though really, that one sadly was a fake.

A Clack skull.

Was there a name for this Clack Skull?   Or was it just called Gray?

jesus that clack is $345 with almost 3 days left

:eek:

 :eek: indeed, my Aussie friend.

That was one of the first ones I saw after joining GH, and one of the ones I most want.  And, unfortunately, one of the ones I am most unlikely to get.  It was especially the case as my first modern mechanical keyboard had (still has) red backlighting.

Anyone here have an idea as to what I just purchased??

Guys, what is named? I never seen that trans white.

Since there's two of them, I'm guessing counterfeit (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51797.0). Plus I see bubbles in the cap and I have never seen bubbles in one of Clacks trans or semi-trans caps.  Got to love how low some people will go.

Edit:  There's an outside chance it could be Ice (http://wiki.geekhack.org/images/c/c6/Ice_Translucent_Skull.JPG) or Ice Blue (http://dangwang.wordpress.com/2012/07/07/clickclack-skulls-by-clackfactory/#jp-carousel-71), but I highly doubt it.

TBH it seems kinda fishy, because on OTD the title of his post is "Gift from my friend" which is just setting it up to be where he can dodge responsibility, similar to how DrugER did/tried.

They could be real though, I am not going to throw out accusations.

There's too many people out there only looking after themselves and engaging in unethical behavior and/or just trying to make a quick buck.  I've seen too many people justify buying and selling the copies by saying, "well, if he won't meet market demand, someone has to".  I guess I should start counterfeiting works by Monet , Banksy, C215, Blek le Rat, and other artists. 

I wouldn't fault you for counterfeiting a Damien Hirst or Shepard Fairey though.

Yup, pretty much. I got lucky when I first joined with a dibs, but then went nearly a year and a half missing out on everything. Then I got a bunch of Clacks all around the same time period and it was awesome :D

You newbies need to suffer. You need to know what want feels like. You need to feel the pain, and drink your own tears before being allowed the privilege.

You know what really grinds my gears? People who join GH just for a Clack sale, then turn around and flip 'em and leave GH until the next 4grabs.

People who only hang around at Clack sales piss me off regardless of what they do with it afterwards. At least when they go to regular contributors we get to see photos!

Lol now I sound butthurt! In all seriousness I think you hit the nail on the head earlier, people need to spend a bit of time feeling the pain while they wait for their first clack. At least that way you appreciate it. Take me for example. Took me over a year to get my first Clack, when I first started looking at them Mint Gum was one of my least favorite colors. Now that I have one I wouldn't trade it for anything, it's grown to be one of my favorite combos with my Dolch/WoB board.

yeah, 356CL, 356.2, 356CL DGE and Koala is hard to find.

have 100 EA of 356CL DGE, 356.2 have around 60 EA, 60EA of Koala standard version and 5-6 EA special version with Brass bar.

I don't know how many EA of 356CL but i think it's not over 30EA.


How is your friend doing, you know, the one making the fake clacks for you?

It's a gift from one of my friend, i will hold it for my keyboard.

If he made more CC or BB, i will buy more color for my keyboard. I don't care official or not, i care only his quality of keycap and detail of logo.

So hard to get more CC a longtime so i need something for replace. But All CCs i was sell or traded on GH is OFFICIAL, Naasfu and T2russo was receivered, you can request us to verify.

Possibly in a similar vein, I am curious as to why the fake clacks so far do not have the "FXC"/"CF" imprint on the underside. It seems like the easiest way to create fake clack would be to create a silicon mold of the clack, which should take into account this feature. I also have never used silicone molds before, so I am probably missing something.

Dude, everyone on here already knows. I don't care about the reddit community or what they decide to do. I might as well try to spare the people who actually care and hope they don't get pulled into the fakes. It makes no difference to me what people spend their money on, but I'm going to endorse purchasing the original and hope that this idiot gets shunned by the honest people in the community. You and I both know that nobody who matters here is going to purchase a cheap ripoff.

I was just warning that there were new fakes entering the market. They can make whatever life choices they want. That's not my problem. They need to be aware that if they're planning on flipping them, they're not going to get the money they spent back.

So you're basically saying that you care about the Reddit community more that GH? Why "warn" them and post the URL to the fake clack sales site? Are you stupid?

Your argument is not a good one: if the link hadn't been posted in a negative light, it would've been posted in a positive one by the creator.

Emotions are high– chill out a bit before responding. :)

I browse almost all mech trading/selling forums and have been scammed before by a dishonest seller. I appreciate the heads up

Dude, everyone on here already knows. I don't care about the reddit community or what they decide to do. I might as well try to spare the people who actually care and hope they don't get pulled into the fakes. It makes no difference to me what people spend their money on, but I'm going to endorse purchasing the original and hope that this idiot gets shunned by the honest people in the community. You and I both know that nobody who matters here is going to purchase a cheap ripoff.

You don't care about the reddit community? Why "warn" them then?

Instead of arguing, think for a second...consider what you're doing when you post a URL on Reddit to a fake clack store.

Last post I'm making on this topic, then, as I said, move it to the fake discussion thread. The people that want them are going to find the store either way. Better I shed a negative light than have someone go "HURR DURR LOOK AT HOW CHEAP THESE CLACKS ARE! EVERRONE BUY NAO!" and then have the people who think they're getting a legitimate product be ****ed out of their money. The people who are buying the fakes would do it regardless. They're called *******s, and they're rampant...especially on the internet.

It feels like a lot of other fakes, problems, and scams (especially with GBs) have come out of China recently unfortunately.    It feels like most of the issues I see arise in one of those two places this last year.  There are exceptions like DrugER (Korea), pacifist (US), the profosist (US), WhiteFireDragon (forget where), but most of the more recent are in those areas.

Can't talk about counterfeit operations without mentioning China! I mean, honestly now. Racism aside, China has always shown a willingness to look the other way where IP enforcement is concerned, particularly if it is of benefit to them as a society. It makes that region fertile ground for operating this kind of knockoff business. I know in this case it's a Vietnamese person ripping off one of the artisans but that part of the world doesn't put a whole lot of stock in things like protecting IP and Copyright unless they're strong-armed by another government usually in the form of requirements for bilateral free-trade agreements.

Criticizing the practices of other countries' governments is one thing, but it's really not fair to make blanket statements about our own fellow GH members.

Personally, one of my best Classifieds experiences was with one of our Vietnamese GHers.  I had a Miami keyset package that USPS had totally screwed up tracking for, and this person really went out of his way to respond to me and help inquire about the package's status.  Plus, he was genuinely happy when USPS did finally deliver the keyset and even asked me to share pictures of the keyset on my board. :)

Alternately, my most negative Classifieds experiences have involved well known, GH forum regulars who reside in the US. 

It really depends on the person and not where they come from.

Alright. Sorry to hear that you have that impression about Chinese users. I would really love to know which fakes, problems and scams you are referring to through PM. And I would love to mention here that I have nothing to do with any fakes, problems or scams even though I'm a Chinese user.

Even if all you said is true, what does any of that have to do with being afraid to deal with Chinese users? Have you ever seen fakes from China? Have you dealt with Chinese users before and had bad experience? You are applying your stereotype about China making couterfeit to another irrelevant field.

Hoff has asked that this discussion be taken elsewhere.  I am respecting that wish. You can PM me like yicaoyimu did and I can give you specifics of late. They are not counterfeited Clacks from China, but other issues that I have seen.

is there a way to get a topre click clack at cost? I've never got into a sales before. Just wondering...

Get in on sales, be a good person and help others out and give back to the community, keep your eyes open, so on.  Most the people who get them at cost do so because they have a rapport with the community.

Crazy how Chinese users got dragged into this.

Wasn't the last big scam on GH done by a Korean? I'm referring to DSA Dolch of course. The xenophobia in the West regarding China is just nuts. Even in the keyboard/keycap community.

As for me, I'll pass on the knockoff skulls, but if he comes out with a Darth Vader keycap, I'll certainly buy it. I'm absolutely not willing to pay $400 for a keycap, and besides, CF took that design from Lucas himself. As the Streets say, "Everything is borrowed."

Dunno.  Senzubean is also a dark plum purple.  I'm wondering if CC used a different-shaped/sized vial for the eyes, though.  In the EK pics, the lighting for the eyes look smaller and rounder, whereas Senzubean's eyes are long tubes installed at an angle.

Here's an old pic where the shape of the lighting for the Senzunite's eyes are more visible.  I can never capture the skull body's color with my camera, so ignore the coloring for the most part.  Think dark plum purple. :)

Doubleshot for most skulls, but in this case and with the Murica skull it's ? some kinda stone or glass?

OK, I fell in love with this color Clack even before I ever registered here, and always thought it was Teal because someone said Teal a long time ago and I was just like 'oh, ok then.' But recently I've learned it is in fact not Teal at all. So what color is it? I am also fairly certain it's Topre only, but could be wrong.

[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2]

Guessing based on the named colorways in CC's gallery either: Glacier Blue - Nebulonic Blue - Ocean Board Blue
but then again as he states there, it's not a comprehensive list, and if you have one feel free to PM me

I can tell you dollar values that are not enough to pry the BS Envi(b)ros from their respective owner's clammy fists, but I don't think many people know the true "value" of this colorway.  It wasn't very common, is highly sought after, and does not change hands very often.

It looks like an old clack that was just lying around.

Your suggestion for 'nauseated' is good, need to get everyone to concur :P

Could anyone assist in identifying my Clack? It's far too dark to be P1, Gum, or Milky Purple. My gut tells me it's the far left prototype shown here

Thanks in advance.

I have never seen a bubble in a Clack. CC wouldn't let that past his Nintendo Seal Of Quality unless it was an F2 in which case there would be a big 'ol hole in the back.

The location of the bubbles make me just think it is a minor casting issue. The doesn't look to be fake but then again I am not really a clack expert.

That's not a minor man, that's a quite big bubbles but not a casting issue for sure . That's seem like the fake one. Furthermore i never seen any ice Blue clack with blur like that . The transparency is too bad since the sell told me that from original first one ( not have 3 dots )

That is a small bubble and would not effect cap function and is due to a casting error in some way. It should be marked as an F2 which have either slight casting defects or have an incorrect color shade which would cause the incorrect transparency. It does look to be real but that is my belief unless someone else with more knowledge would like to prove me wrong.

As well as the color being way cloudier than any Ice Blue I have seen. I have one right in front of me and it is transparent, especially along the base of the cap.

This is like between a real Ice Blue and a Slushy Blue.

wtf do I have here?

Seller claimed it was EK Blue. But sherwin also sent me an EK blue a while back which can be seen here: (left is new "ek" blue, centre is old "ek" blue, right is globe blue clackvent)

(http://i.imgur.com/ZyjrIo1.jpg)

And here it is next to an F2

I guess my theory is that the old EK blue sherwin sent me (it's really worn out, all the texture has gone shiny) had changed colour in the sun and darkened while this one I just got today seems to be brand spanking new?

dunno. It looks like milk but it's not

yeah the one on the left looks ancient as hell but the one on the right I got in the best condition of a clack I've ever seen... really don't know what it is. I'm more inclined to think the older looking one is EK Blue, and it looks similar to belfong's EK blue... idk.

On the topic of clack discoloring: UV from LED's also changes the color of UV-sensitive clacks. I've seen a clack with a super weird and bad gradient from the bottom up where the bottom of the key is super discolored because of LED exposure.

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.  :thumb:

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"...  ;)
tbc

I thought Clack already said otherwise in here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=24466.msg469495#msg469495). 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.
You thought correctly and were corrected correctly.  =)

cc out!  =)







The Ancient Clack of DooM:

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o580/eth0sz/a4758521-b14e-4bb6-b887-8eb38134e127.jpg) (http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/eth0sz/media/a4758521-b14e-4bb6-b887-8eb38134e127.jpg.html)

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.
