GeekHack Key Caps

[Alessandro]

We need a GB!

Be such a massive but such an awesome GB!

[SmallFry]

IIRC, there was a green on white ALPS as well.

Green text on white, or white text on green?

If it's white text on kiwi green, then it's #60. 

Green text on white, like the one above. I don't remember exactly which GEEK HA CK keys came in ALPS. (Yes, it is GEEK HA CK) See how the letters are spaced on the keys:))

[reaper]

Don't forget this one...

[Halverson]

^Well my collection is definitely not complete when Reaper starts showing off his old ones

Got any spare ones?

[mashby]

Ok, that's one sweet key. What's it's story?

[SmallFry]

You gotta be a Grandpa GeekHacker to know about such keycaps!

* SmallFry runs away before his GeekHack profile changes again.

I have never seen one before that picture, actually. Quite intriguing.

Now that's a special geekhack key!!!

[jcrouse]

That list is definately wiki worthy.

If and when I do, you'll be the first to know.

That was when GH keycap group buy was run by iMav himself.  I got that one directly from the man.

Hmm..  how about Hello Kitty avatar for a week?

Can I be second?

  Just kidding.

I vote for the Hello Kitty

A white-on-orange doubleshot was included in the Round 1 group buy.  I have one sitting next to me; it matched the alternative colour WASD caps in that set.

Do you mind taking a picture? I'm assuming Round 1 has the same color scheme as Round 4 but I'm not quite sure.

reaper my friend, if you stumble upon another blue/white or white/blue GH key, let me know =)

The question is does it match the R3 white on orange cap. Unless that's what you meant

[reaper]

Ok but I think it'd probably be easier (and faster) to start a group buy for them.  SP made these so they should have all the colors down already.  Shoot, I'll probably join the GB just to get a few more myself. lol

A GB would be cool, but then we have the whole Vintage/New cherry red esc all over again! I vote if we did bring them back, keep them in the retro Geek Ha ck style

i thought the whole point was to make the caps available to the most people, not to keep something a rarity to inflate its value /sarcasm

[Halverson]

^Not necessarily increase value, but if they were different, I would need to still find the original for mah collection.

[longweight]

I like the idea of a GB but then it takes the fun away from building a collection!


Let's just get a new monthly cap GB going in aid of GH!

Well I believe that is what Kawa has been doing, the orange/grey caps and now the blue/clear caps. Although it is not a group buy I suppose. I would love a Miami GeekHack cap to be made, oh yea. Unless that set gets brought back....lol

[longweight]

Maybe there should be a GB of ten new colour combinations of just the GH cap.


Miami would be awesome!

[mkawa]

there just wasn't enough interest in miami to make a gb order feasible :/

boost and dr. choi and i kicked around some ideas to make it more interesting, but ended up shelving it

if you have think you can bring it back from the dead, feel free to start a new IC

yep, that's basically what's going on with the geekhack packs. next month will be a smaller buy; i'm thinking two keys? a classic GEEKHACK and then one new legend. i have an idea for some new manufacturing process fun too

with the schedule that i have in mind, these will probably come in mid-late february

[longweight]

Awesome stuff

I feel that it was get more interest due to so many new folks around, but at the moment there are already so many things going on, klaxon, toxic, GMK etc, probably wait till summer.

Can't wait to see what crazy designs you come up with kawa! I'm always up for helping to test prototypes up in Canada!

[JPG]

Got my attention here!

[longweight]

I think GB's are a bit light on the ground at the moment, GMK isn't really doing anything much and klaxon is just a remix of RA.


Toxic looks very cool though

[jdcarpe]

You're all going to miss out on the Sindarin Elvish Geek Hack key if you don't join the GB.

X2! Everyone get in it!

[mashby]

Added Reaper's White on Blue key cap and did a few other tweaks to the list.

If anyone has any blanks they can fill on the list, I would be most appreciated. For example:
- Color Codes
- Where a key came from
- Link to the group buy (if available)
- Font used

[mkawa]

by the way, huge thanks for compiling this list mashby

Given that I'd mostly just be after one key from that set, I thought the same thing. That'd be in the realm of a clack!  )

[Halverson]

Was just on the R4 wiki, and noticed something interesting that I think was part of the R3 GB.

"key with GEEK HACK or Geek Hack on it (depending on style).
GEEKHACK 1 unit function row

Colors per style:
ROUND3/* white on very dark gray
RETRO/* lightblue on dark gray
NOIR/* white on black
DARK/* black on very dark gray
DARK/*/ORANGE orange on very dark gray"

If those were all made, I have not seen a white on black or black on very dark gray. Anyone have any pics, or know if they were even made?

[esoomenona]

Perfect.

[dorkvader]

I don't see it listed, but a long time ago, there was a SP pad print keycap white lettering on black.
You can see it in halverson's picture. it's the "gh" one near the top.

It might be mis-listed as #32. Mine is not doublshot, it's pad print (I believe)

Bytheway, the manufacturer of the Gh fundraier keycap was imsto's china source.

Also, keypop does not make keycaps, I believe that one was manuf. by SP.

There's also a recent blue/clear ABS/PC one that techkeys just released (GH january pack). I received mine today. It includes a GEEK HACK esc key and geekhack 1.25 mods.

Thanks for making this list! I'll try to add it to the wiki at some near date.

Good to know and I've created a new section for Pad Printed keys.

Bytheway, the manufacturer of the Gh fundraier keycap was imsto's china source.

I updated #39, which is the key I think you were referring to. If I'm mistaken, or if it's all the keys in that set, please let me know.

Also, keypop does not make keycaps, I believe that one was manuf. by SP.

*Updated* Yep and KeyPop just informed me that they were all part of the Demik's GB.

Those should already be on the list. Numbers 14 & 37.

Thanks for making this list! I'll try to add it to the wiki at some near date.

My pleasure and thank you for moving the thread!

looking for a black on orange geekhack backspace key, can anybody show me where i can get it?

You have basically 2 choices.  One is to wait for someone to start a group buy or look for some in Classifieds since you can't start your own thread there yet (need to have 60 posts or more before you can start a thread in Classifieds).


Good luck.

Nice Ripster-esk avatar.

[whiskerBox]

Do you guys really want to Re-Issue old keys? I think it would be cooler to do new ones monthly.

Just make a new GB with all the ones that are already made, so everyone has the oppertunity to own them if they want to.

[rowdy]

I have a white on very dark grey which came from a crap bag.

[CPTBadAss]

Mashby, save some GH caps for the rest of us!

Alessandro, can you post a pic of that white on dark grey cap? Just for curiosity's sake.
