I herd ClickClack employs unemployed Computer Science PhDs to make these.
No more Jack-o-lanterns!
mmmty wheres the jack'o lantern?
mmmty wheres the jack'o lantern?
I only saw it for cherry mx. Unless I missed it.Sadly yeah, I was watching each one go up on sale, and the topre jack o lantern never came up
my buddy had to call me about this...did anyone else not get an email update about this? i didn't get ****.
i managed to get a grey and black but really just wanted the jack one :\
Think we could fetch at least $100 for the jack-o-lantern keycap?
^ I got you, no sweat ;3
But I was lucky to pick up a jack o lantern one too
This is why they should have raised the price on these way higher than they were listed at. People just buy them simple to resell.yeah I hate resellers. But I guess it comes with the territory.

I got the jack o' lantern and the all-grey. I agree. The candy corn colours don't seem like they would fit with my either my white or black filco.
Is anyone getting the arrow or wasd set? Those seem really weird.
I can't believe I missed the
I can't believe I missed the Jack-o'-lanterns!!!! :Cry:
ATTENTION CLICKCLACK: please make more Jack-o'-lantern skulls! I would also like to get one for Topre? :bounce:
I had a pre-production WASD key set and they look AWESOME! I know what you mean though, the picture makes them look darker and more red but the orange is really bright and they look just like candy corn. I think they look pretty darn good-n-tastey on a white board but on black board is where it's at I think. It's so bright and fresh looking. :hungry:
More it sells for the higher the resell would be
To a certain extent yes. If the keys were listed at $100 each, you aren't gonna see people paying $300 for them on the secondary market.but then a lot of people that would love to have one themselves won't feel like paying $100 for it ;(
I don't really sell things. I just like having things that other people don't.
Ended up getting myself the Black Skull Cherry MX but really wanted that Jack-o-Lantern!
I will trade you a Gray for your Black :D
lol
I deliberately only got the Black 'cause I didn't like the Gray much. I was about to get both but I really didn't see myself using the Gray at all.
I really wanted black but Gray works just fine for me. More of a collectors item than anything in my book.
Yeah, I could live and be happy with either.
Can you just paint black or grey keycap yourself and make your own Jack-o-lantern?

But damn would Gray look sick on your Linear R.
Haha :P
Well, if I don't end up liking the Black maybe we can arrange a trade.
dammit! why did I have to be in a customer meeting when he released these!!! argh
Smartphone+EK Newsletter+Paypal; bought them on the way back from class.
$51 is pretty ridiculous for shipping.
I've only bought a Leopold keyboard from EK, and although the wrong keyboard shipped, the mistake was taken care of promptly. They packaged the board very securely too.
Although I must say the one gripe I have about EK is that they told me I couldn't pick up locally to save on shipping, despite living in the same city. Really?
Seriously I don't understand why EK still say they're in stock when you're saying the'yre not. I mean I see all the keycaps being in stock and I can add them to the Shopping Cart.
Oh! And I don't forget about Elite Keyboards HATING European buyers. Are you kidding me? They want me to pay 51$ for shipping keycaps.... seriously what's wrong with them.

No offense, but we don't have a staffed person waiting around for people to stop by and pick up their order.
I think Newegg right over in Rowland Heights didn't even start offering will-call until this year. Perhaps you'll forgive us for a few more years until we reach their size;)
Well get to it then! ;)
I would like to stroll Elitekeyboards like I would See's Candies, I'll take this one, that one, yes... that one over there. I would then like them all placed in a very appetizing box. With gold foil of course. And a pony. :smile:

Damn bronies. They are EVERYWHERE!I had to look up "bronies". I can get away with it because I am young, cute, AND a girl. I think even I would make fun of a guy who loves that show.

thank you guys to let me ZERO skull keycaps :Cry: I am speechless
thank you guys to let me ZERO skull keycaps :Cry: I am speechless
Let me receive mine first and I'll hook you up with one...
if you're still interested. =P
For sure thx. Does anyone know if EK said if they are going to have more any time soon?I don't think so. It says "very limited"
I don't think so. It says "very limited"
Cant believe I missed this! arrrg well if anybody wants to part with a grey one let me know
I would love to but it will be a bit more costly than you may like.
All gone within 7 hours???
NNNOOOOO!!!!!
i wonder how many were in stock to begin with
Maybe you should blame EK instead since it's their page. :P
Oh wait, they don't read mails! You'd be better off blaming someone else then.
Fine!! I just bought a set - happy now?
For THAT I'm raising it to $2,700!
This painted one is REALLY growing on me.

I'm pretty sure ClickClack isn't making any more of these.
$2,800 for not recognizing that as a ClickClack!!!!!
Clickclack is making more of these.
And because I'm a socialist pig and I don't think it is fair to raise the price of these too excessively according to demand since supply is SO short. I'm instead considering an algorithm such that...
Each person/address can buy 1 keycap at normal price
2 keycaps at 1.5 times the normal price of EACH
3 at 2x each
5 at 3x each
6 at 4x each, etc.
This would cut down on the enterprising individuals who pick these up like pirated AC/DC albums, and leave more chance everyone has an opportunity to buy one.
What do you guys think?
Seems like this is just increasing the incentive for abuse by using other people's paypal accounts and addresses and doing multiple orders of single keycaps.
Is he making more of these specific designs? Why so much less Topre love than Cherry MX love?
So many unanswered questions...
How many of each type were there?
How many greedy people tried to buy more than 1 of something? Or managed to?
How many more people are there on the mailing list now?!
:)

From the customer stand point I do not see what is the advantage of such initiative. If the people have the money and they really want them they will pay 2x or 5x for the keycaps. This option wont discourage anyone to buy multiple keycaps. In the other hand the benefit for EK is much better

It's not a bad idea, but it will likely not effect how long they last (not by much). It could even encourage people to buy more of these (which is why they probably wouldn't last much longer). But, as the above poster said it will benefit Elite. At this point I think it's best that more profit is actually made by Click Clack/Elite. Depending on the production situation, that could encourage more production down the line.
The only way (IMO) to help the situation is to actually charge more. Brian is attempting to help the consumer which is what we all want, but maybe in this situation it's best to simply charge more per cap. If you do it your way (progressively more) people are going to simply buy from other accounts, and just get by without the restrictions altogether. You will need to charge more PER CAP in order to help everyone in the future.
With that said, I love the price. I appreciate the price. Keep doing business the way you think is best.
Did anyone get confirmation from EK for their keycaps?
I got confirmations and a refund. I must have been trying to buy more than 1 keycap.
I did this morning.Oh what do you know, I did too but I forgot it went to my other email ;E
I got confirmations and a refund. I must have been trying to buy more than 1 keycap.Refund for the entire order? Poor mmmty ;(
Oh what do you know, I did too but I forgot it went to my other email ;E
tyty Kisakuku
Not intentionally. I must have added Black Skull Topre in the cart twice. So I got a refund for 1 key.
You had me scared for a second. Thought your whole order got cancelled.
Expected Delivery Date: October 29, 2011
And I live 40 mins away from EK.
Expected Delivery Date: October 29, 2011I live much further away and mines expected to be delivered on the 28th lol, oh USPS.
And I live 40 mins away from EK.
And go to riverside (where it was accepted)? Hell no, I'll wait those extra days.
I live much further away and mines expected to be delivered on the 28th lol, oh USPS.Were there different shipping options? I think in my excitement of getting these I forgot to check. I probably picked the cheapest.
Well then you can still be comforted with the fact that you still get it before me.That'd be mean... Especially since you hold the novelty key DS group buy in your hands lol. Not messing my order up by bragging!
Were there different shipping options? I think in my excitement of getting these I forgot to check. I probably picked the cheapest.I definitely picked the cheapest, those keycaps ran me for enough money ;<
"Expected Delivery Date: October 28, 2011" too and I'm on the east coast.*Hi Five*

The cheapest one.
I got mine today. The candycorn looks much better in real life. Wow they are thick.Got mine too today today, and I have to agree the thickness and the quality of these keycaps are sooooo much better then SP, all I can say is well done clickclack ;)
Seeing all this candy corn making me hungry.... Nice keycaps kisakuku and reaper.
@kisakuku- is that a custom wooden wrist rest the caps are on?
Not very custom, it's the one IOMania sells. (http://www.iomania.co.kr/frontstore/Item/item_zoom.asp?item_num=1361&catalog_num=139510&mart_id=iomall&level=yes&mother_catalog_num=139509)
The out-of-focus Clack army has arrived. Ripster would not be proud of the horrid white balance.3 out of 10 with a nice white top. not bad.. right? but in all seriousness, it looks like they are well used ABS keys that you wore out the white on, before you even bought them.
(Attachment) 30297[/ATTACH]
Thanks never saw this on the site... Looks like they have two stain types.. Looks like yours is the darker one?
Mind me asking how much you paid for it!
All their wrist pads are in a separate section (http://www.iomania.co.kr/frontstore/main/sub_catalog.asp?level=yes&mother_catalog_num=139509&catalog_num=139510&design_spin=1&mart_id=iomall&m_name=%C4%ED%BC%C7+%26amp%3B+%C6%D0%B5%E5&s_name=%C5%B0%BA%B8%B5%E5+%BC%D5%B8%F1+%B9%DE%C4%A7%B4%EB). Mine is the darker one indeed. I think all the thinner Realforce ones are dark and the thicker Filco ones are light, but I might be wrong. I paid $52, their mark-up comes from converting 1USD = 1000KRW.
3 out of 10 with a nice white top. not bad.. right? but in all seriousness, it looks like they are well used ABS keys that you wore out the white on, before you even bought them.
Thanks I assume the shipping cost was the killer, but I figure you bought other items.
wth they didnt even give me a shipping confirmation yet and it's nov 2nd!!!!
Ha! I don't hate anyone...
For 99% of orders, the shipping price calculation is a pretty linear process. My guess is you're probably adding a large number of small items to your cart, which isn't interpreted well due to minimum per-item weights the cart understands; so it bumps you into the 2-4 pound weight tier. We're not going to charge you $51 for shipping keycaps...just email us if something doesn't seem right. Chances are that we'll catch it and refund the difference when the order is processed anyway.
Ahh the joys of using Paypal for your shopping carts. I guess you're too busy "developing new products" (read: kissing your asian supplier's asses in order to try and squeeze as much profit out of it as you can) to actually provide a real working online store and instead just do a half-assed job of things. The last item I tried to purchase from your "store" let me get right to the part where I tried to make the payment and then told me it was not available. Good job!
