Now this is crazy. Ordered three. (No $50 shipping on single keycaps apparently, wow!)

Will probably be even cheaper if stuff works out with GMK, but nevertheless this is nice if you like me want some red esc goodness in the meanwhile, I guess. <:

A picture that comes to mind is litster's "$250 avatar". With the text "$5".

Hope EK can just ship these together with my clack

I'm wondering if EK has been having GMK produce some stuff for them and this is the first item available for sale. As I posted above, they say there are more doubleshots coming.

I suspect this as well. This is probably their first order made by GMK.

GMK might be making them soon, they won't be rare anymore so the "value" will drop sharply if GMK does come through

Deepest and sincerest apologies to those who paid high prices for their genuine cherry Escs then.. there's probably a chance that they have no resale value now

Sweet in a number of different ways. I side with the folks who appreciate things not for their rarity but for what they actually are. Plus I've been waiting to find another reason to buy from EK since I thought it was a little wasteful to drop $3.50 on shipping for a $3.50 spacebar.

Wish CCs were like this - with my luck my count is probably going to stay at 0 until then  :))

I think it's awesome that they are supplying this a'plenty.

But let's also think about it this way; If everyone is driving the same car, what's to look at anymore?

well, EK is a company.

not a group buy.

and that's just one order out of the who knows how many they put in. dont get your hopes up too high.

why not.. in for 2

EDIT: you know, $5 is probably even high for one of these.
With GMK making them in bulk, they should probably sell for the same as the sp ones.. which are $1.50..
I'll pass... Doesn't seem like anything significant to me.

Now the world of keyboards will be homogenized, and everyone will have the exact same stuff. Sounds pretty fun to me....

It's not really about who has the coolest stuff, it's more about the time, effort and fun into finding lost or rare treasure. I liked looking at things that I know rarely exist, even if I know I will never own them.

Not true, really. Some people like lysol find these things simply by effort. It's the people that want to skip that effort and spend all of their money. But they can still be found without much money.

Not everyone will necessarily use their Esc keys - some might hold on to them in a vague hope that one day they will be worth $250 again.

I'm not butthurt at all. I just think it's stupid for you to bash people for wanting to share their things with the community. I mean, clearly the threads are labeled clearly, and that's where people go to share.

Just ordered one. Thought about getting two, but I only really need one.



oh internet words hurt so much :(

dont know why you're getting so butt hurt. i have no problems with you. just a little tired of pictures being posted for no reason other than showing off. but if that's what you consider "trolling" meh, so be it.

I'm not butthurt at all. I just think it's stupid for you to bash people for wanting to share their things with the community. I mean, clearly the threads are labeled clearly, and that's where people go to share.
It doesn't have to bother you, you can simply not go there. Out of sight, out of mind.

Can you guys get a room? If it requires more than 1 post to argue, take it to PM. Or, go at it in THIS (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=37332.120) thread.

Of all the lousy ass luck, thinking I scored getting one for half of what I'd seen them go for...

I see what you did there.........

you'll probably get them for 1$ with GMK if it gets off the ground!

Long ago, I requested light, and there was light.

Don't tell me that you're god's secretary bro.

Probably just some sort of automated robotic light switch ;)

Thanks...I think EK is more to thank but I DID request them, and they responded in the thread. Hope they do some other colors like I requested but IIRC he wasn't big on doing a ton of different colored Esc keys.

after he sells almost half his listed stock in under a day, maybe his mind will change about not wanting to-do other colored Esc keys ;)    Green please

Yellow please. :D

That's exactly the thing.  When Cherry red Esc keys were still rare, they were expensive and everyone clamoured to see pictures of the few that existed.

Now they are relatively inexpensive and readily available everyone has 2 or 3 or more of them.

If Clacks were so readily available, everyone would be, like, meh.

I would say that's a fine replica.

Ah, but is it a replica?  If it was made with the original equipment?

Wouldn't really call it a replica. More like a revival.

My sincere condolences to ones who spent hundred(s) for one of those.

Looks legit.  Not a replica at all, but a continuation of the old line.

The only difference I can see is from the bottom. New ones have horizontal lines where the two shots meld, vintage ones have a grid. At least I think so...I don't have a vintage one, and my new ones haven't arrived yet.

If cherry was buying the DS caps from GMK all along then these would be the same caps as before. Just a new run.

Other way round. GMK acquired Cherry's original tools, so yes they are essentially the same caps.

I got mine today - posted a pic over at the "Got in the Mail" thread.  It's definitely the original cherry molds as I'm comparing older pics.  If you'll notice, each keycap varies slightly in the molding process, depending on the ratio of white/red plastic, so some reveal the injection grid more than others.  The basic pattern seems the same though.

Got mine today.  Meh.

And as foretold, EK sent me some wrong items in the order, but not a black skull by mistake.  :(  Just the wrong arrow keys.

The universal spacebar is indeed nice, however.

Hey guys.
when you receive this ESC keycap, post some pictures.
I think it'll be same quality as original but I just want to see the detail.

Just got mine in. Here's a closeup for details.

I email EK and requested to combine shipping with the CC I won. But because of that they delayed the processing of my order. Only got tracking on Thursday.
By the way, anyone know how long it takes for PayPal to refund me? I use a debit card on my account.

It will go into your PP balance, it's as fast as whomever is refunding you.   Then it's a few days once you initiate a transfer back to your bank account.

Same happened to me but only one day difference between shipping each order. The five red ESC arrived before my Oktoberfest Topre which was sent before them. I received it after 4-5 days of receiving the red ESC.

They are not the same as the Original Cherry ESC The Underside White Striping is different and there is a very small weight Difference.

Post by: Acetrak on Mon, 17 December 2012, 09:34:17
The "underside white striping" are never the same. These keys are made with the same equipment bought from the original Cherry key manufacturers. Quality may differ because a variety of reasons, but to simplify, it was a different run so it is not identical.

I was simply pointing out the differences between the two, I'm sure eBay will be trickling with them shortly

And it is written "façade". I speak french so it got to my eyes in a moment since it's a french word  :p
Title: Re: $5 "Authentic Cherry Red Esc (Double-Shot)"
Post by: hashbaz on Wed, 19 December 2012, 13:57:04
Actually, facade is an English word with an English spelling that is independent from the spelling of the French word from which it derived. :P
Title: Re: $5 "Authentic Cherry Red Esc (Double-Shot)"
Post by: JPG on Wed, 19 December 2012, 14:07:28
Well, after a little more research, both are good in english. So I was wrong for saying facade is spelled wrong.

Maybe we all learned something here, and probably we don't give a ****  ;D
