This is a really hard-to-answer question - does it need to be cap we own?

I'm pretty new to all of this, but one of my favorite artisan caps of all time has to be the Unicorn Blood BroBot.

The other one I'd like to have is the Mint Gum CC.

If I could get my hands on either one of these, I'd be incredibly happy. :D

Who doesn't want to own that cap.  I'm anti-above-retail-pricing, but that's the one cap I would drop $200 on without feeling bad.

this would probably be pretty close to the top on my list as well. too bad it's completely made of unobtainium. who knows if CC even remembers where he put it.

out of the caps I own it's probably a tie between Photekq Brass Cthulhu Cap(because I got to design it,) and Spumoni(not in love with the colorway, but the circumstances under which I got it makes it mean much more)

I am on the fence as far as picking just one, there are just too many to chose from. 

Lets go for 3-way tie for me:

Hand-e cap

My favorite is Bob the CC 3D (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49309.0) but I am biased.

(http://imageshack.us/a/img849/6040/lur5.jpg)


My bias also allows me a second favorite, Rusty the BroBot of Steel.

Humm my favorate keyset/cap well for keycap I have to go

Means a lot to me, first brobot I got and all, also sort of may of maybe influenced the design, because the next day it appeared, also happened the same with Unicorn blood after I asked him to add Glitter to the Ice bro seven days later Unicorn blood, Although I wanted it to be called a Pixie bro :p Just need a Ladybug bro now or multicoloured Polka dots :D

The keyset would have to be the the Black on white SP set you can buy with a Nyancat set on the top row

Just like it since its simple colourful and fits me well, at least there's not a dull time when I have this in front of me :)

I'm very partial to the following caps, because of my sentimental attachment.  They are both entirely unique, and the circumstances are special to me.  :)  In chronological order:

Brass Imperial Cog by photekq
This was one of the first novelty caps I had.  photekq was working on his design for this cap (a make-your-own-design milled brass cap), and I asked if he could make me this cap to help him test the design.  At this point, he had made two TEK caps, and this was the third cap he made.  Since then there was a run of 5 (?) other caps in the V2 design (thinner, lighter).  This one is still my favourite brass keycap he ever made.

LumberChap by Binge
After Binge presented on cap casting at KeyCon I instantly fell in love with his designs and his process.  This was back when he was still taking orders for sculpted caps to fund his ventures, so I ordered a cap and he made something of his own design specially for me.  LumberChap is amazing.  :D  Love it.

Where do I buy Brass Imperial Cog by photekq?

Well...I have the only one like this, and I literally just got done saying why I love it so much - so I'm not going to sell it any time soon.  I believe nubbinator has the inverted design of mine (engraved in, rather than out like mine), but if my suspicions are worth anything then he's not interested in selling his either.  ;)
