To both YG & DrugER, very nice pics! I wonder if you guys have like a competition over at either KBDMania or OTD on who has the most keycaps. lol Anyway, great looking keycaps indeed.

esoomenona · « **Reply #1451 on:** Wed, 21 November 2012, 13:26:53 »

Both great looking boards!

Alessandro · « **Reply #1452 on:** Wed, 21 November 2012, 14:50:42 »

Agreed! The only tweaks I would make would be to use a standard beige esc and beige enter to keep the symmetry.

I hope this is the correct thread to post this in, if not just let me know where to go.

My brother in laws law office is moving buildings and we were able to claim some stuff and to our surprise we found about 15 WYSE boards with Cherry Blacks! Anyways, I was hoping that I could get some help identifying what types of keycaps these are because I still don't know my different keycaps

Here is the keyboard itself

And now here are some pictures of the keys,

If more pictures would help just let me know!

Well awesome to hear that they are a well known keycap!!

A bit surprised to be honest seeing as how they were just collecting dust in the basement for probably 20 something years.

They are all brand new, still taped in the boxes that they were purchased and shipped in!! So are they ABS, PBT or something else? Just trying to get a gauge of what I'm working with, sorry for the noobish questions!

sth · « **Reply #1456 on:** Wed, 21 November 2012, 20:35:24 »

nice!! they're ABS doubleshots. those are the thinner ones -- some people prefer the thicker versions but it really doesn't make a difference.
a lot of those keys can be used on other boards but you will need a moogle kit (if you plan on selling any of these i know interest has been gathering for another run of moogle kits but they arent easy to find right now).

Keycaps...

Wish I had better lighting for this one but it's already dark out

Most of my collection, excluding keycap sets some of them are flipped to save space and they're probably doubles

NIQMODs collection (trying to get all the blue ones), and girlfriend's nailpolish caps (don't worry I'm not going to sell them...)

reaper · « **Reply #1458 on:** Thu, 22 November 2012, 20:13:31 »

Nice collection! You're gonna need a bigger container there.

Aside from a Dolch Moogle a bunch of meth caps, and a LoL gamer set, yep, that's everything.

After starting with only the lightning bolt two months ago ._.

Acetrak · « **Reply #1462 on:** Fri, 23 November 2012, 01:21:03 »

Lol I joined around the same time but I have more keyboards (barebones) than keycaps at the moment...

Have you got many on your keyboard/s?

kmiller8 · « **Reply #1464 on:** Fri, 23 November 2012, 02:07:33 »

only 14 of those are on my board + the LoL Gamer set, I've been trying to keep it a bit tame since I went full unicorn vomit

Anyway, thank you for not using this ugly cyrillic Cherry font

Long post could be longer—just some of my favorites!

Portal 2:

Geekhack backspace!

And the colors for everything below are actually a little bit more vibrant, but I'm too lazy to either retake pictures or edit any of them..

And to finish, a lovely little production error I picked up while at SP!

A few more over on imgur

Halverson · « **Reply #1473 on:** Sun, 02 December 2012, 21:32:58 »

Is that a Miami coloured hiero?

Rumudiez · « **Reply #1474 on:** Sun, 02 December 2012, 21:34:32 »

Yes, it is. I got it as part of my swag bag from Signature Plastics

Halverson · « **Reply #1475 on:** Sun, 02 December 2012, 21:39:10 »

That's sick! I need the Miami set to come back! Saw your Rosewill in the other thread, nice looking cap collection for sure

Lu_e · « **Reply #1476 on:** Sun, 02 December 2012, 22:49:51 »

Loving the partially formed one, looks like it could still go on a board?

Yep, I was able to pick up a couple incomplete second shots that had completely intact stems. My favorite one is on my Pure

I see a lot of familiar Techkeys caps here. Super happy to showcase them in product reviews.

rowdy · « **Reply #1486 on:** Sat, 08 December 2012, 16:14:34 »

Quite a comprehensive collection, a lot of familiar keys there

reaper · « **Reply #1487 on:** Sun, 09 December 2012, 11:02:26 »

Here are a few new ones that I just received.

Day 9

Red Esc from EK

EK's red Esc next to the one I didn't get from EK (EK one is on the right)

Is it just me or the letter "E" on the one on the right isn't so straight?

Maybe it's the kerning effect.

absyrd · « **Reply #1488 on:** Sun, 09 December 2012, 11:37:28 »

Crooked "E"! Return it.

reaper · « **Reply #1489 on:** Sun, 09 December 2012, 11:46:19 »

Normally I'd say meh but this is on a $250 keycap! lol

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #1490 on:** Sun, 09 December 2012, 11:48:10 »

If one has a crooked letter, they probably all do from same run. The original is tellable if so. Looks like the color is identical or near enough to the eye. Seem like the original on the bottom has more of a hatch pattern and the new ones big stripe on the first shot. So there is some real subtle difference for now. At least owner of both can keep it straight if they care at all.

Oh! That explains it. Crooked "E" Cherry red Esc key marked down to $5 from $250. Defect costing EK a few hundred-thousand dollars.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #1492 on:** Sun, 09 December 2012, 12:01:28 »

Wow, these definitely don't compare to the originals very well. Don't worry folks, our investments are safe!

SmallFry · « **Reply #1493 on:** Sun, 09 December 2012, 12:10:11 »

Let's take our next pictures in a night club... I hear they have killer lighting!

)

keyboardlover · « **Reply #1494 on:** Sun, 09 December 2012, 12:17:06 »

Yea sorry about the lighting :\

STILL I got five Esc keys with crooked E's!

If I didn't know better, based on the quality control I'd think SP was making these keycaps

SmallFry · « **Reply #1495 on:** Sun, 09 December 2012, 12:22:00 »

It doesn't look like any difference to me.

Meh, good enough:) Cherry profile, cheap, and most importantly (because I like the color) red.

I was half-kidding but the E's on EK's caps, in all seriousness, ARE crooked. They are pointing just slightly up.

The E on my original, super leet, collectible keycap is completely straight.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #1498 on:** Sun, 09 December 2012, 13:51:47 »

No, if SP was making these caps it would have been E sc... and they would have ended up burgandy or something with sprue mark on the front.
I agree though, GMK is good enough match that majority of people would never care at all. It's just great to have these type of nice doulbeshots again. I also have some original Cherry key with some alignment issues one is quite noticable the s in Esc is lower than the other letter.

absyrd · « **Reply #1499 on:** Sun, 09 December 2012, 13:52:23 »

*waits for "Straight E Cherry Red Esc Key" auctions

PS - I like the Miami color 3rd eye vision, rumudiez! Nice grab bag score.
