It's not been a year. They sold some in November.

I assume it is really up to CC himself if they will sell more.  And it has been only a couple months since the last sale.

I am always trying to think of a cool design to get in on this awesome hobby.. The ID guy at work explained to me how easy it is to get into molding and resin casts, etc

I think they are ugly and have passed at many chances  to have one/many. Seriously, a skull? What are you, 12 years old?

I consider vintage keycaps to be much more valuable...

Just my opinion.

See, I don't care about the skull part, I just like all the pretty colors they come in. The value for me is in eye catching unique hues, not the rarity (although in some cases the two overlap, like the turquoise and indigo.) That's why I never really cared for the tricolors.

The quality of the caps can't be argued. If you've ever used a CC WASD or arrow set they feel noticeably thicker, more solid, and tighter than even other thick PBT's. If he ever used his blank molds to make an entire set it really would be a step up and I truly believe even the snootiest connoisseur would do a double take.

Just wondering: Since each CC cap is unique, is there some sort of database with a list and pictures of every cap ever created and sold?

I would love to look back through the history of these caps as I have just recently become aware of their existence.

Thanks

That must mean I have absolutely no self-respect, because I think they’re ugly, impractical, and ludicrously over-priced.  The whole secondary Click Clack market is just tulip mania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania) for gullible keyboard users.

The hate is strong with this one.

You can complain all day about supply and demand but unfortunately, won't change a thing. Mocking people that don't share your tastes or interests won't get you very far either.

There are enthusiasts for a lot of things. From pigeon racing to people collecting model airplanes. Typically, they are willing to pay considerable amounts of money for things that have no value to the average Joe. And a lot of times, these things are for aesthetics only.

That does not make them dumb, it just means that when it comes to their hobby, they have a specific set of preferences that differs quite a bit from everyone else. Buying rare or custom keycaps is not that different from collecting coins or stamps, or paying an absurd amount for fancy looking carbon bottle cages for your roadbike. This is a forum where such people from all around the world, with such a specific interest, gather. It should therefore be no surprise that they are willing to pay prices that would be silly to some. But as long as the person who bought it is happy with the purchase and feels it was worth it, who is to say he/she made the wrong call. Some interests are more widely accepted than others. Nobody gives it a second thought when my girlfriend pays 350 euros for shoes that are technically not better or more expensive to produce than other shoes less than a quarter of the price, or whatever the hell my brother paid for those rims on his mercedes.

Well put. The only problem is that being a "hobbyist" to me means taking everything I get into over the years to the next level. What can I say I just love "gear". Bought a road bike off Craig's List some years ago. It works fine...nah it needs a new component group, stem, headset, carbon bottle cages (haha), etc, etc, etc. How about a DSLR off ebay? Well you can imagine what I own on top of the base camera kit now. Lets see...got a mechanical keyboard as a gift. It works fine, great keyboard. How abouttt....key cap sets, novelty keys, buying, selling, 3 more boards, forums.....The list goes on.

I think this kind of behavior actually becomes a problem for some people, whether it prohibits their enjoyment of a product because they always need the next thing or it puts a hole in their pocket. Personally I love hobby stuff and getting into things... but sometimes we all need to remember to enjoy what we have. The second we all got our first mech keyboard, we already had a "better" keyboard than probably 95% of people who own keyboards.  :))

Yes. Its an expensive novelty cap, its sort of impractical by definition isnt it? The only advantage it offers over a 2 dollar cap with identical functionality is aesthetics. Novelty items are rarely "practical" but are often very desirable anyway. Thats just basically how I see it.

I don't see it as being 'impractical' becasue it works just as well as any of my other cherry caps, and infact the thickness of the key makes using and pressing it much nicer than the cherry keys I have on my board.

This is correct. Impractical was the wrong word choice. The only time it becomes impractical is when it doesn't function as well as the other but is used for aesthetics.

For example, you wouldn't call a fur coat impractical just because it is more expensive than a North Face since it still keeps you warm. Now, if you wore a more expensive coat that made you colder, just because it looks good on you; it would be considered impractical.

im·prac·ti·cal

It's shaped like a traditional keycap and even the skulls have a realativly flat surface, so its sensible becasue it works perfectally as a normal keycap.

So its sort of shaped like a typical key cap and actuates the switch in the same way...but costs much more and is difficult to procure. Sounds "sensible" to me!

Collector's items don't follow any 'sensible' rules. People pay what they feel they are worth to them, individually, as a collector. Using your logic, the first minted Mickey Mantle baseball card in mint condition shouldn't be worth more than any other printed card, right?

Pretty much this. CC's are worth what people are willing to pay for them post-consumer. If someone wants to pay $200 for a particularly rare Clack, then that's the going market price.

No. I refuse to have it.
Anything even remotally rare and valuable has ZERO FUNCTIONALITY AND PURPOSE. If something is worth more than $40 then it's TOTALLY UNREALISTIC and completally IMPRACTICAL.


For reals, my CC I have on my kb I can't even use. It's so expensive and massive im scared touching it would break the switch and/or the CC its self.

No, I'm not saying that at all. Not sure how you related that scenario to anything Ive said. CC's have a market price that is often much higher than their original selling price. This is rightfully so because they are collector's items. In fact, I am saying that their valuation and rarity is pretty much what makes them impractical by the "not sensible or realistic" part of the definition someone posted above. You typically don't fill you entire board with CC's because it isn't practical! Functionality really plays no part in my reasoning...

Stop feeding the troll. How this thread conversation has gone on this long is beyond me. It should have ended when the word 'Hobby' was introduced. A man who, according to his signature, has two versions of the same board cannot deem something impractical and expect themselves to be taken seriously. He is trolling y'all mofos. Keep it Wu-Tang.

"not sensible or realistic" also backs up my reasoning...actually.

It's shaped like a traditional keycap and even the skulls have a realativly flat surface, so its sensible becasue it works perfectally as a normal keycap.
It's realistic becasue, yeah some are crazy money, most arnt and you can buy them for pretty normal amounts that arn't INSANE $1000000000000000000 prices.

So its sort of shaped like a typical key cap and actuates the switch in the same way...but costs much more and is difficult to procure. Sounds "sensible" to me!

I thought I could stay away from here... but you guys are cracking me up again. AND you lot are forgetting something like... i dont know a fairly boring (again with the opinions!) painting or other ART. Which you can't even touch most of the time btw... hows that for functionality. Although a more complex painting can invoke thought, has more depth, and all those emotion things....

Anyway thats pretty much what it comes down to; art. As much as I hate the lack of numbering or how about a ****ing WEBSITE, with maybeperhapsifyoucanbebothered one blurb of information? no? ok maybe not. How long has he/they been taking our money and never had ANY sort of website to navigate? rofl

But ya... art man. Doesn't even need any promotion like a website I know... but even his own gallery/coloring list sucks pretty hard...

Again, a hobby is not impractical as it serves a function correctly. Something is impractical when it does not serve it's function. Cost is irrelevant. Such as the example used in the Google dictionary regarding high heels.

You are keeping a level head in this conversation so do not misplace my posts as being rude, but you are wrong. You obviously have internet, Google the word.

If your hobby was collecting paintings, would you say that a painting you just purchased was impractical? It makes no sense.

Of course I would.  Just because I like something and choose to spend my money on it doesn't make it a practical use of my money, it just makes it something I want to spend my money on.  Why does it matter if other people thing my spending habits are practical or not, they aren't calling me names or telling me to google a word, because obviously, I looked up the definition of the word before trying to explain that it, and by default all hobbies, are an impractical use of money.  It doesn't matter if it's click clacks, bro bots, topre keyboards, artwork, stamps, pogs or baseball cards, hobbies are impractical.

You guys know people pay $200 Million for a collectible painting right?

And $2 Million for a collectible car?

And some fool paid $1.5 Million for a Superman comic book.

So, IMO spending $200 for a keycap that one likes is a bit high, but not insane or anything.  However, spending $200 in order to speculate that the price will continue to go up forever, that is a fool's game.

Again, you are completely misinterpreting the meaning of the word, using it incorrectly and now correlating it with the wrong discussion. This wasn't a matter of judging whether or not a hobby is an impractical way of spending money. It was a discussion about an expensive key being impractical. But, for the sake of the argument you are using, it is still not impractical. This is because when it comes to spending money, it is very subjective.

For example, if you have all your necessities and you spend money on something that makes you happy, hobby or otherwise, it is still serving its purpose. Therefore, it is not impractical. It would only become impractical if you were broke, lets say, and spending all your money on Clacks. But still, it is my personal opinion that it would still be a border line usage of the word since impractical and money is extremely subjective.

If someone was rich and spent money on completely unnecessary things that they wanted, would you say that he's money spending was impractical? No, I would say not spending it would be impractical since its FUNCTION is to be spent. By your new logic, almost anything beyond the bare minimum of what you need would be an impractical way of spending money.

It's realistic becasue, yeah some are crazy money, most arnt and you can buy them for pretty normal amounts that arn't INSANE $1000000000000000000 prices.

There’s really no need to take this so personally.

I consider them impractical because of the skull on the top — I don’t consider that an ideal surface for a keycap.  If it was, then *all* keycaps would have a lumpy, irregular top surface.  The impracticality has *nothing* to do with the ludicrous money people are spending on them;  I’d consider them just as impractical if they cost 10˘ each.



So, IMO spending $200 for a keycap that one likes is a bit high, but not insane or anything.  However, spending $200 in order to speculate that the price will continue to go up forever, that is a fool's game.
That’s where it all begins to fall down.  A not-insignificant portion of people *are* buying them with the intention of speculating on them, and each time they change hands the risk passes onto the current owner.  It’s almost inevitable that the market will collapse at some point, which means that the last person to buy the Click Clack in question gets burned.  They obviously take that risk knowingly when they get involved in CC speculation, but that doesn’t change the fact that an unsustainable bubble has developed around them.

And again the use of impractical to try and justify hating on CC's or people who have/collect them is petty, at best.

Are you really trying to argue that F and J scooped cherry keys are impractical because they aren't flat like standard keys?

In this regard, yes you are correct but also incorrect in using impractical. However, like I have stated, it is still subjective considering the point of a Clack is to dress your keyboard on a button least used and if it successfully makes your keyboard look better (in your opinion) then it serves it's purpose.

The function of a Clack is not to increase the effectiveness of your escape key or make it more comfortable. It was made for purely aesthetic purposes and therefore serves its function. The reason I say it is subjective is because someone using their escape key often and finds it uncomfortable, may find it impractical (such as yourself). But then you can argue technicalities, the original design philosophy and also whether or not you find it aesthetically pleasing (which you don't)--still making it subjective.

Personally, due to the infrequent use of the key and the other factors I mentioned, I find your argument a bit of a reach. However, your opinion is just that, an opinion and your point is a valid argument.   

P.S. As you can see, I love arguing semantics lol.

I don't think you can blame CC for greedy behavior. I mean after all, you are the one selling off his key caps for huge profits. If you want to blame anyone for the issues in the community regarding little pieces of plastic, you can start by blaming yourself.


Zero profit actually, I'm just trying to get back what I paid for them.

Either way, you are still supporting the greed. Whether it was you that initially paid too much for one, and then passing it along to the community. Sure, you should get your money back, but it's not CC's fault that people created histeria over tiny pieces of plastic.

I agree, I did support the greed and I have no problem with it, it's just healthy supply and demand.

I just find it funny how so many people claim that CC does it for the community when it causes so many problems.

I don't think CC thinks that way. He just wants to share his art. If it was 'for the community', it would be free. But even then, people would still jack the prices up and sell for unreasonable amounts. It's pretty much that way with anything with low amount and high demand

He probably doesn't but I get the feeling that no one wants to upset him which is why you never see anyone criticise him.

It's CC's fault because he made those wonderful caps, just like it's McDonald's fault people are getting fat due to making delicious hamburgers. We should file a class action lawsuit against him.

They're very clever gimmick key-caps that are produced in a small quantities with unique features from unique molds making them "collectibles" for quite a lot of the keyboard community.

I agree, I like the red white and blue one. Like candy!

The skulls caps, while very cool, are not for me.

I'm unsure where the next sale will be. The one I was referring to was on Elitekeyboards.com but it might be done here or another format that I'm unaware of. You can always buy the ones from the classifieds if you're impatient.

Nah, not impatient. Not really a huge deal if I miss it, was just curious. Group Buys have been keeping me busy as of late. Thank you for the info though :D
