Title: Any 3D Keycaps - Cherry MX
Post by: Lukasevic on Sun, 11 March 2012, 15:53:35
I'm a fairly new user to the forums but quickly gaining steam is the idea of changing out keys on my keyboard. I have been using a Scorpius m10 cherry blue for the past two years and I am picking up a cherry black this week and wanted to see if anyone had a 3D key chery mx that you might be willing to part with?

This is probably blasphemous to ask around here. I'm learning a lot about their rarity and I don't mind if the key is used. I thought it would be pretty sweet to LAN with a 3D key or skull on my new MX black for my first try at customizing.

Feel free to PM me as well :)

thank you kindly,

Luke

lol, a price for a used clickclack key will cost at least 100% more than what the buyer originally paid. they sell them for more cus they know how hard it is to find them. so be prepared to shell out anywhere between $30-$4000 depending on who the seller is.

WTGH, товарищ Лукашевич!  Most keys are 3D, could you be more specific?

My apologies, I didn't mean to sound so vague in my description. I meant any of the "Skull" Click Clacks or other Key caps I might not know about yet.

Forgive me for not posting the link, but someone did have a crack at knocking out a replica, turned out OK too... bit of an uncanny valley thing going on, but it looked alright

I'm sort of embarrassed, hehe. I did not mean to spark interest in key clones and knock offs. I was making an attempt at being humorous with ripster.

Anywho! if anyone has anything less than $4,000 - I'm still interested :bounce:

Nah, was only joking OP, they do come up occasionally and some ppl won't try and scalp you for it. But even then you will never get one for less than $50. Even the factory 2nd's go for about $50.

You see, a lot of keyboard enthusiasts would not sell them because money is not the issue.  Because they are rare, people now want to trade rare for rare, things they don't already have.  Money is not rare.  People who want to buy them and sell them for a quick buck are not true enthusiasts or collectors.
