the more pictures i see of these, the more impressed i am with what bambino actually just pulled off.. so many amazing colorways. translucent dark gray, GID, and sparkle colorways? these really are amazing
Thanks man; means a lot to me to see folks enjoying their keycaps. This sale took a monumental amount of work to pull together.

The amount of awesome colorways is just amazing. There's so many I love that I want but thankfully would have no keysets to pair them with so I can actually kind of resist for the time being.

Is that from the turtle neck sale? All these are very new so you probably won't find them just yet.

Some HydroSnappers in their natural habitat.



I looked for a blue snapper in the aftermarket for weeks.  Was an awesome surprise to get my first choice (Moondust) plus two more blue friends in the blind bags!

Is there any pictures of the Snapper colorway "Aperture Labs"?

Which sale was it part of?

It looks great!

Was it a 1 off for giveaway? "RNG to 1 commenter in this thread"

or more of a gold bag type deal?

It's not even in the gallery for that sale

Aperture Labs snappers were randomly distributed to folks who purchased Series 1 Stickers and Magnets in the Straps and Studs Sale last September.  I believe one or more extras were also in the SSSS in December.

I am one with the cup rubber and the cup rubber is with me...

There's been a hole in my lineup over the past eight months months when it comes to serving all the Topre dudes and she-dudes out there.  So last December I tasked myself with coming up with something new to complement the refined simplicity of Topre, Leopold, and PFU keyboards.  In my mind, it needed to be something understated at first glance, but interesting and engaging upon closer inspection.  Lots of folks out there, myself included, use Topre keyboards for work, so something semi-professional and comfortable to use were other requirements.  I have also always been enamored with KWK's Wrapped, Nightcaps' Moondrop, and KeyKollectiv's Snackeys and wanted to capture my own spin on the general themes presented in their work. 

As I searched for the right fit for Suited Up Keycaps, I was drawn in by the complex yet elegant work of wood sculptor Thierry Martenon and decided to adapt the style of his fine art to Topre keycaps.  I named them the Zen Series after the calming waves and undulations of a zen garden.

No no no you're going about this all wrong. Artisans are prerequisites to keyboard stems, not the other way around.

Update for y'all, the sale is still on its way!  Due to the limited size of the sale, the format will be a bit different than usual. Current plan is that the sale will be FCFS and will open on Monday, 20 March, time TBA.  Detailed info about colorways, prices, and the rules for the sale will follow shortly.

The format of the sale is going to be modified a little bit.  The first handful of entries (about 5-10) will be processed FCFS, and the remaining keys will be available in the usual raffle-style format.  More updates to come soon. 

Looking forward to Monday!

Here is part 1 of the colorways (most of the blue/gray/purples).  These are shown with the Row 1 keys on the top row and their corresponding Fn Row keys on the next level down.
