They still have the caps listed as in stock on their website, perhaps that means they will do another drawing?

If you search right, you can still find all Clack Factory keycaps on the EK site.  They just are not listed from the main page or products list any more.  As these ones will not be soon.
"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

Now you understand why people are so upset at those who win a $25 CC in a drawing and immediately sell or auction it for > $100.

Could be cool to compile a list somewhere with all the links.
I'm sure most recent ones can be found that way through links from previous drawings

The CC laser cannons have been charging for a full week now. Still no idea what's going to happen when they fire, but guesses are it'll be another 4grabs, and a big one at that. Candy Cane CC's, anyone?

One of these days I'm going to try that and see if it really works.

Mine you, I'm a kinda n00b around here and only have 10 mechanical keyboards, so it might not end well.

The announced ones are ok. I don't mind standing up at 2 or 3AM when I know that I have the chance to get something in 4grabs. But the sudden ones are really horrible. I slept very bad in the first nights after that 'lasers charging' was posted in 4grabs, cause I always thought something would happen when I sleep, like a new release of Salute or Mr. friday BS or even OG BS.  And the pure horror are conus only sales :(

Although the last couple of general 4grabs have not been too bad for me (6am or something like that), I totally slept through the insta-grab ones.

I'm hoping for better luck this time although to be fair it's simply not possible to please everyone, some part of the world is always going to be asleep :)

Unless he only accepted entries from people with a postal address in certain parts of the world, and did a series of sales each time.  But that would be massively open to gaming, and not worth trying to police.

At least he does vary the time somewhat :)
"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

Blanks are considered to be in the low tier of clacks, but I think CF has done some really cool stuff with blanks like the Julysicle and Oktoberfest. Just enjoy the artwork in the colors of the clack, think about that beer and popsicle sitting on your Esc :)

you phrased that a little weird, but i'd be very hesitant to call oktoberfest a 'blank' since CC has actually made solid color keycaps.

'layered' would be more apropriate, but I think there was another 'brand name' for them already.  in my head, I divide CC keycaps into:

blanks
bloodsplats
layers
leafs (although I think they're actually called 'toast')
skulls

wingnut/vader/66mhz/etc (these are all ultra rares and i think you just call them by name rather than category lol)


edited because rowdy was giving me the evil red eye....

If you want to categorize Clacks, I would suggest the following categorical rubrics:

Blanks - ESC
Blanks - Topre Fn
Blanks - Special:  Julysicle, Candy Corn & Oktoberfest
Blanks - WASD & Arrow Clusters
Bloodsplats - ESC
Bloodsplats - WASD & Arrow Clusters
Skulls - single color
Skulls - Bi-color
Slulls - Tri-color
Skulls - translucent
420 - Bi-color
420 - Single Color
Special Clacks - Dark Lord, Gumrot, Gummyrot, etc.
Special Rare/ Limited Run - i.e., Wingnut (made for DT founders), GH Tri-color (made for tsangan), Ducks, 66mhz, etc.
Special Rare/ Prototypes - i.e., Mr. Friday prototype, etc.



I ♥ Click Clack.  I ♥♥♥ Bro Caps.

tri-colors - usually solid color with separate colored face, and separate colored eyes (OG Tricolor, Salute, etc.); sometimes layered multiple colors with different colored face (Candy Corn, Skullsicle, etc.); or in the case of the 3D, one color cap with each eye being a separate color
translucents (see-through; Ruby Red, Ice Blue, etc.)
BlanksNon-skull caps; can be single colored, or double (Oktoberfest, etc.) or triple colored in layers (Candy Corn, Julysicle, etc.)

It's true he does seem to do the best he can to keep it fair. Just need a spot of luck.

How many times do I have to say click-clacks name in the mirror before he materializes and gives me hardcore white topre at cost? Is it three like beetlejuice or five like candyman? ;)
