Did tracking already go out to all conus buyers? I certainly don't mind a wait, just want to be sure i didn't miss anything.

These pictures are great! Excited!

Has anyone outside of the US received tracking info? I'm in Canada and haven't had any details. Wondering if this is typical, or if my little guy just hasn't shipped yet.
I'm still waiting for my tracking to update. I imagine it's a lot of work if you are doing it by your self, but I'm sure it will happen soon

Yeaaa.... international i did through USPS site so the tracking isn't in Paypal! I'm going to try and get those entered in though soon.


On yours..  I think I started to do it through paypal... then was like "**** this" and re-printed through USPS click n ship :)

Participate in the forum discussions, enter the raffles and sales. Don't be a ****. Pretty simple.

Most artisans here raffle their caps away from time to time. You don't actually need points to win anything, but I'm sure you'll find the community fun and interesting :) Just follow the creators posts here on geekhack a d perhaps instagram. People here are very kind and a lot of people help each other out. A good way to get what you want can also be to collect and trade, that's what I started with. If you are at base level send me a pm and I can send you a "starter" :)

When Booper decides to make more and hold another sale. Could be soon, could be in months from now. Just have to wait and see.

Boopz killed it with these. Straight fiyaaaaa.
I generally hate all keycaps. Keycaps are for poofs. Real men touchtype on stems. Non-functional artisans are awesome, I use them for the ESC key ... escape is for cowards anyways, real men go frontal assault.

I got my Booper cap from the Missed Out Raffle in the mail yesterday.  When I opened the envelope I could see red, and thought 'No way!  It's the cranberry Colonel!'  Then I realized it was the foil bag that the keycap comes packaged in.  But when I opened the bag there really was a cranberry Colonel in there!

Being in this hobby can involve a lot of disappointments--losing out on raffles, missing a great sale on the mechmarket, or failing on email sales by what must be milliseconds--but sometimes you get lucky.  This is the cap I wanted the most out of both the Winter sales.  He's my first artisan.  And he is even more impressive--and adorable--than the pictures showed.

Thank you so much, Booper!  I don't know how I was so lucky as to get exactly the model and colorway that I wanted, but I'm so happy to welcome him to his new home!

You the best!

Booper's caps are spot on!

Congratulations to those who recently acquired one :)
"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

Yeah, bit of joking by KK that got the hype a little out of hand.  Would be cool to see Kosmos return though, or even just another collab.
