I like that red "KILL" keycap :P
Would be good for my sprint key in FPS games :))
I was actually going to use it as a backspace, but it turns out it doesn't have the right stem locations (2 instead of 3, and no middle stem).

---

For those people PMing me about specific keys -- I'll try to get back to you guys tomorrow morning, need some rest. Also, how do you guys usually ship individual keys? Padded mailer? I'm more used to shipping way larger things like computer parts that involving foam peanuts + cardboard boxes, which would be way overkill for something this size lol.

Some initial thoughts:


* The "interesting" DCS stuff.  A mutant Blue Hapster and a Mystery Key 3 are of note; the others just have novel legends.  There was only one conventional space bar, and it was pretty long, possibly 8x.  The F13 is sadly not the right row for functions, thus making it harder to incorporate into a layout as a Spinal Tap sort of "Ours go to 13" joke.

* SO MUCH DSA!  I'd guess 30% of my bag was DSA.  Sadly, almost all of it was 1x1 keys.  My favourite finds:  A few extra RUN STOPs and some UK-style pound-sign-3 keys.  I haven't finished sorting through it, but there are a lot of "Ayuda" (yellow) and "Jugar" (red) keys.



* More "malformed" stuff than I expected, but a lot of it was very consistently the same faults.



* An interesting variety of non-MX caps-- some ML-style, a handful of ALPS style, and those phone-pad style ones.



* Some SA keys too.  The 2.0x one is not MX-compatible.

There are often quite a few like this - they are from PoS systems.
"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

That blue hapster is amazing.  And I'm amazed at how much trash they're tossing in as "caps".  I don't remember seeing that many unusable caps in bags in the past.

I will post pictures tomorrow but my bag was REALLY ****ty. I got a lot of raindrop, a little bit of ccng, a handful of turtle power, a little bit of some salmon color on grey I would like to finish, more error print "G" than I would ever need, literally three klaxon keys, and novelty I only got TWO - a reedit alien with an X drawn on the front of it, and one of the astrology keys :(

Looks like I will have to do lots of trading or buying to make my crap bag investment worth while.

That's a bit sucky :(

You'd think they would put one or two of something special into each bag so you wouldn't feel ripped off.

I know it's a crap-bag, but getting that many of the same keys is disappoint... no?

Not really - kinda of expected, given last year's bags.

I got 3 bags last year (postage made it a bit daft just to get 1) - definitely fun to sort, but the end result is a bit disappointing.

I quite like the malformed caps - the ones with the first shot showing through, but it I think I did the right thing this year and skipped it.

I have a favor to ask for anyone that purchased a Crap Bag. Can you see how many SA profile key caps you can fit into a small flat-rate USPS box? It's for the 23 Commando GB and I need the information for shipping purposes.

Anyone mind helping out and testing for us?

If it's any help, I received a full 104key set plus some in a small flat rate box (DCS) and it could fit a bit more.

I have more fun looking at the pictures than I would ever have if I bought one myself. Though, it would be awesome to make a full set out of mutant miscast keys. You can have that worn through look today, no need to use the keycaps for years first :))

Ouch.  You got some decent stuff but it really looks like yours lived up to the name.  I'm not sure I get those last two pics though.

I don't know if it's me, but it seems like there are far more severely messed up and miscast caps in the crap bag this time around than in past crap bags.

Send me the hapsters!!

Here is my crap bag.

So looks like you didn't get but a couple 'novelty' keys but a wind range of different keys. Some of those brightly colored and 'jelly' looking blanks look nice and those red white and blue dsa caps are interesting. And that one blue and white drunk looking windows key.

Here is my crap bag.

Ouch.  You got some decent stuff but it really looks like yours lived up to the name.  I'm not sure I get those last two pics though.

I don't know if it's me, but it seems like there are far more severely messed up and miscast caps in the crap bag this time around than in past crap bags.


maybe because they are producing more stuff so more errors?

So the past crap bags did not live up to their name, unlike the latest. Improvement right? :P

Last two don't need to be in there, I took them to illustrate how much SA caps can fit into a small priority box. That has 99 keys in it.

I think you got an awesome novelty key there. Picture 47, bottom row, second from the left. That is clearly a silhouette of Butters Stotch. Or maybe its Jesus in a tortilla, keycap version?

Here is the link to my crap bag.  The lighting in the photos is garbage, sorry bout that.  A few gems, lots of Retro DSA and regular DSA.  Not included in the photos are the 2x POS keys with only two offcenter stems.

Decided to put some of my crap on my keyboard.  :eek: All blanks for alpha and numbers. All the blanks are the same profile. Nyan for the functions. White on Orange arrows. Two Hapsters, Awesome Face, Panic and Windows Keys are from the Crap bag. :cool: Orange Mods not from the Crap Bag.

Another Hapster!

SO most bags so far could be summed up with one or two gems (usually a Hapster), lots of WoB DS (especially G), lots of retro DSA, and other crap.

Is anyone counting the bags?  To get a vague idea of how many there might have been.

Prdlm2009, what were the two ALPS keys you crossed out?  I got an "Inter-Cep-Tion" key too, but I was curious what the other one was.

Oh God! What I have done!!! That is ... Ordered 2 crap bags and now I have to bear with sorting the result...

Just starting. Opened the package, found two bags. Looked at the size of those. Now the realization set in that now I HAVE TO SIFT THRU over 2000 caps to get a few good one and a few more that can be a set, and few more alps caps.

Wish me good luck in having the patience to sift thru all these garbage for the next 3 hours.

Enjoy... intermission... after 3 hours.

Good luck!

Hopefully you have a few keycaps worth getting.

And don't be disappointed if you don't have a full matching set of anything - I can't recall anyone who ever did.

ok. sorting is over... partly. Just separated color keys, black, white(ish), misc color, & any special/interesting keys. Looks like it is house vs gambler and this time the house is wining. May be a wash.

First photo: colors separated, doubleshots are not separated.
Second: the real crap, about 7-10% for me.
Third: Anything that I can consider interesting, few geekhacks, few ocean something custom cap, and rest unknown.

Apart from these I have got few space bars and larger keys.

I guess I may get an brown set, have a lot of brown keys. Will sort them later. No more crap bag for me.

A few ther look good.

10% absolute crap is a lot, but there again it seems luck of the draw.
