ALL GONE!
NIQMODS Presents Candy Collection RGB(Y) Modifier Kit
I was lucky enough to present everyone here the first NIQMODS Candy Collection, and now after some talks I am able to bring you another of their project! This is yet again another limited run from them, so if you like these get them quick since the last GB lots of people missed out.
WHAT ARE WE BUYING?!?!?!

*I know the picture looks weird where the red and green keys don't look right but it's just the angle/depth of the picture

These pictures really don't do these keycaps justice so I am going to include some of the keycaps I got from the first round to show you how nice they look, and even then they still look 1000 times better in person.

Kits Available
RGB
RGBY
20 kits in total are available, and like I said this is a one time deal, I don't think there will be another run of this.
You might have many questions on your mind now so hopefully this will answer it all
-MAX one kit per person unless there's extras in the end
-These are modifier keys ment to replace the shift, alt, control, and windows
-The profile for these keycaps are Filco OEM profile, i was reminded 100 times to let everyone know
-The keycap itself is ABS
-Keycaps are air brushed with 2k automobile paint, using combinations of different colours, 2 layers of colours
-To protect the colour coating, keycaps are protected with gloss finish on top
-Lifetime Colouring Warranty For All Candy Series Keycaps. Excluding Human Error, Sharp Object Scraping Off Colours.

CONUS
- RGB - $48.25
- RGBY - $59.55
Everywhere Else
- RGB - $51.80
- RGBY - $63.25
Price might look a bit high but think about a regular RGBY kit is like $25, and these last time was $9 a key so this is pretty good

After everyone is paid shipping should be right after, then after I receive it I ship out, so no it won't take a couple of months, but at this rate of everyone paying it will take some time :laser:

Damn rollback.
Anyways, I was asking if there were a tracking # for this? (Heard from another thread that this has been shipped already) :)
Thanks!

Added mine today. Got them in the market place as I missed the GB. Figured Id add some color back to the thread after rollback.

Cheers, love them.

Oh a heads up for people with niqmods keys.. I managed to chip the corner off my niqmods modifiers when swapping them onto another board.
Guess you just have to be even more careful if you use the WASD wirepuller.
I know the warranty does not cover this and its a shame as it ruins my look a little now.. just want to make sure you guys dont do the same! :)
-
Too late! I did the same a bit :(
I even used a ring puller specifically because I though that the wire puller might do that but it did it as well.
They're still really nice though, just a little bit along the bottom edge that isn't really visible anyways.
-
I guess that makes 3 of us, lol. Be careful guys!
-
Well, to be fair these are spray-painted on. They look too pretty to want to even put them on my board. :P
