Bro Caps Therapy

[bueller]

Yup, therapy needed here too. Still got the upcoming sale though, Ribbits will be at the top of my list!

[theteam]

wonder how many of them were available to begin with

[Halverson]

So who won? Apparently not all the kids waiting up for the news!

Just glad I'm out at the cottage. The only use for bots here is fish bait! Speaking of....wonder how many fish I could catch with a reaper.....

I imagine toxic reaper would scare them away.

Lets wait for Bro Caps to announce the winners in the thread. More fun that way I think.........

I've had luck with glowing jig heads, I reckon a walleye would suck a toxic reaper up instantly!

Haha , maybe you are right. Nice to be outdoors man. I used to fish with my brother all the time as well. But in between work and his kids, we never find the time anymore.

Not sure if I would use keycaps  , but we have used some rather creative bait in the past.

[baldgye]

Congrats to the winners!

[atlas3686]

Yes congrats guys, those GIDs look awesome!

[absyrd]

<- Loser in more ways that one!

Congrats to the winners!

[Belfong]

Am I the only one who finds it interesting that we have so many entries in the contest thread but then not many coming here for therapy? It's like everyone's jimmies are not rustled anymore.. Maybe there's the sale to look forward to.

[Fire Brand]

Maybe, maybe the test subject is important? also to note most sales have had a small sale beforehand so it might be a indication that its very very soon

Just waiting for Toxic Unicorn, please Brocaps 

[slickmamba]

Dang, worked straight through the entire testsubject thread!  I will get my first official bro bot from bro himself oneday!

[Xike]

Congrats to the winners, those caps look incredible!

I'm still pretty new to customizing mechanical keyboards, and don't have any keycaps yet, but I'm hoping to pick up one of the Brobots in the upcoming sale to put on my Poker II when it arrives =)

[Dyslexic]

I was the lucky winner of one of the two test subject topre bros. I'll report back with pics as soon as I have it. Sorry to further rustle the jimmies of those seeking therapy.

I was the other one. Was pretty thrilled since I have been eyeing these v2's since they were first made. There is something about the clean design, the chunkyness, the fact that it is still shaped to function well as a keycap, and the distinguishing feature that the sides are also "sculpted" that makes me love these. Not to mention that some of the colors and materials these come in are absolutely rockin.

I did not say anything before because I thought the main thread would be updated with the winners.

When I get it , I will try to get the best pictures I can of the Subject 22 topre Brobot v2.

I sure hope your potato is better than mine, cause my pics come out terrible. When the girlfriend returns to school in September she'll have access to DSLRs as part of her program and I'll get her to take some nice shots, but until then it's gonna be grainy and poorly colour balanced from me unless someone has tips for getting the most out of a Nexus 4 camera.

I do not have a fantastic camera, but I think I have always been able to get good pictures that give a good indication of the true color of the cap. I think the biggest "tip" is to use natural light. Even with a fantastic camera you will struggle making any worthwhile pictures in crappy artificial light. Take them outside if you have to XD. You are not doing it correctly if your neighbors have not already seen you outside on your knees, carefully balancing a keycap in the sunlight to get that great picture.

Oh okay, I sent a support ticket, don't worry about responding now if its fixed. Thanks for all the work you guys put into these sales.

EDIT: Just realized I can close support tickets and did so.

[roland8727]

Is it possible to modify an already submitted ticket? Similar to how I play monoply, I went through the entire submission process before reading the rules.

[MythicalWagyu]

I know this will probably sound like the most circle-jerky comment ever, but I just want to take a second to recognize the *huge* amount of time, effort & expense Bro must have gone through to offer this latest Toxic V2 sale.

I'd guess an astounding amount of product was crafted to create a whopping 23 variants, even with just one final cap per variant/stem - which I personally don't think is the case for at least several of the designs (but that's just my own opinion!)

Bro Caps - I know you've said you don't want to make this a full-time job, so please have my sincere thanks for giving your craft what seems like full-time attention so the rest of us can have a chance to enjoy your little sculptures. I hope it brings you as much joy as it does the rest of us geekhackers

It is an epic selection, was a little sad to see Irradiated Green didn't make the cut. Was hoping for another Irradiated Bro :)

Good luck everyone  :thumb:

This, * 10 :D

[bueller]

Yeah I was pretty stoked to see so many options. I just hope I get a Ribbit or a Reaper, the Noxious V2 was pretty sweet too.

[tbc]

i am in desperate need of GID reaper

and i'll take 3 other reapers while i'm at it

[snoopy]

I would be so happy to get one of those guys. those bi-color bros are amazing.

[absyrd]

These things got expensive real fast. Such wallet pain.

I think BroCaps has his finger on the pulse of the market.

They aren't cheap but I'd rather see Bro get a larger cut in the initial sale because he's missing out on the silly amounts of money people are charging for these on the secondary market. If the demand is that high I'm just happy he hasn't gone north of $60 a cap.

I agree with this. This way, the money goes to the producer and not to people out to make a quick buck. I also think that people will be less tempted to join sales with the intention of reselling because the higher prices greatly reduce the potential for arbitrage. For example, I ordered 4 caps. If I get a chance to buy them, that means I am paying around $200. Someone looking for a quick buck might not be willing to do that. Especially considering selling of novelty keycaps for large markups has become increasingly frowned upon.

I love the selection that we have here. I also just like the craftsmanship with which they were made. If you look at the caps made until now, you really see an evolution of quality and technique. As much as I like the other caps, the V2's in design and execution are pretty special, with perhaps their coolest feature being the details on the sides of the keycap. Something you do not see very often.

i cant speak for bro on the price

but here is my input

when comparing the current prices to before, its not so much that the cost per cap has gone up, but that the additional cost per cap reflects the new materials and extra work that has gone in to these parts, almost every cap available in the sale is at least a 2 shot, with many requiring very intricate work, the only single colour cap for sale, also has a new glow in the dark material, which is seriously something special

rather than churn out a bunch of simple, set it and forget it single colour caps, a ton of thought and effort went in to each to offer this range, and i just think the prices reflect that

also of note, i would expect with the more intricate designs, there are also more cast offs that dont make the grade and arent up to bros very exacting standards

[cmadrid]

Wtb F2 bros

[Dyslexic]

Can't disagree that the quality and effort are apparent in the latest runs of caps. I managed to acquire a THC v2 recently and I'm absolutely stunned at how good it looks in person. I can only imagine how nice something like the virulent is going to look. The shades and combinations of colour are really something special on this round.

[absyrd]

Losers unite!

No glowy stuff for me...

Is this the right place to tell people that I'm really butthurt?

[Lurch]

Damn dude, really wanted one of those fN sets.

[Puddsy]

on a scale of 1 to triangle frog

i didn't win yet

[cphead]

The never win continues! I'm back for more therapy guys...

And grats to everyone who got in
