How deep does this rabbit hole go?...
« on: Thu, 10 January 2013, 23:09:15 »
Hi there!

So I'm worried that I am getting myself into a bit of a mess here haha! I've been lurking the forums and literally decided to mod my keyboard moments after seeing everyone else's amazing setups! I decided to go with an unpopular choice (Razer Blackwidow Tournament edition) that has the MX cherry blue switches (love them to death). I modded the front casing white along with changing the "razer" logo from green to blue. Going for a storm trooper theme. Also on the way is my brand new keyset from WASD! :) I'll probably put up pictures when my "baby" is done! Hope to get to know you guys better here at geekhack and thank you for having me.

I cried a little when I saw a bid for an "oktoberfest" keycap for 70 bucks+ on ebay

It goes very deep, Kris..   very, very deep.  :-X 

Thank you for the warm welcome :)

Welcome to Geekhack!

There's quite a few Canadians around here these days :)

Ah, so you've heard of Clack Factory keycaps ("ClickClacks").  Yes, $70 is about average for a second hand one, although the rarer ones can sell for several hundred dollars.  If you are lucky, really lucky, you might be able to grab one at cost.
"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
