that is awesome that they even call them crap bags on their web page!
Once the intiial rush wore off, I started to wonder what I would actually do with 1000 keycaps. That's about 10 keyboards worth. Of random caps. Maybe a few special ones. A few unicorn vomit boards, but apart from that?
They would come in a fairly big box, which explains the shipping. Then I'd have to explain it to my other half :))
So tempted... too bad I'm poor and can't really afford them atm.they are using flat rate boxes. so that's why it's cheap for us and expensive for international.
Only $14 shipping for me...
...maybe of the 1000 pieces, you'd get 10 novelty keycaps.
damn youuu Australia damn far....
Its like pokemon cards all over again....if you buy enough there might be a rare!
lol this^damn youuu Australia damn far....

+1
I should get back into Pokemon cards....I'll save money
There was definitely some cool stuff in the bags, but about 80% (made up statistic) of the people ended up just reselling them as a whole because they were too lazy to sort through all the useless keycaps.
With that being said, I bought a bag last year and will do it again this year =)
Guys, please stop asking what came in the damn bags, and do a quick search :rolleyes:

And yeah I did do a search, but didn't use acronyms >.<
xD Forum Logic
Why do a search when someone will undoubtedly get mad and post the links we want? :p
Not to derail this thread too much - I noticed that SP are now selling complete sets of 87 double shot keycaps. Can anyone vouch for the quality of these? Obviously the quality might not be up there with classic Cherry/GMK but it has got to be 110% better than the stock stuff on a mass produced board.

they are the same as any other SP doubleshot?

I got tracking info today. I post pictures if I find something good :)

I went in for one. I was really tempted to go for two, but I need a key set more than I need nearly 2000 useless key caps.Welcome to GeekHack by the way, and yes I am still debating over whether to get this "crap bag" or not. I'm afraid I'll just have 1000 useless keys in my closet :/
The mystery does intrigue me though. :D

Melt them down and reshape them into one enormous, crappy keycap. ;)
Guys, please stop asking what came in the damn bags, and do a quick search :rolleyes:Thanks for linky, to be honest I bought one in blind faith, now I am really excited, hope I get half as much cool stuff :) Will also be cool to see what SP is producing for other customers / support SP a little more

I thought about that, but I swear, if I touch another keycap not connected to a keyboard I might just snap.

I hope I get that Tab key in the second to last photo. AWESOME!!!
Were they good enough to make a full keyboard? despite the wrong keys? Who looks at their keyboard anyways?
I ordered three bags because of the shipping costs. Does anyone have any pictures that would give me an idea of what I've let myself in for?
I didn't get too many spherical
Here is something I made.

Wish I got some that would have fit on the rest of the mods, that would have been sexy!

that's great, i really love how you arranged them all, too
like rowdy said, still kind of on the fence as to whether i should've purchased one of these now, but the pictures allow the rest of us to live vicariously through you ;)

Yeah, anyone want to trade? I am looking for novelty, and some of those standard white, pink, moggle stuff.
And whoever wanted those green shifts, they seem to be a smaller size than my Das. I have some If you still want some.
Also after seeing many of those nice low profile sphericals I am totally convinced we need to have a groupbuy for a set of them.
They don't have all needed size in those tall sphericals though unless that has changed since I looked last. Makes it hard to have a full set unless you like big gaps between keys. DSA does not have that problem on the other hand.

aww... That makes me a saaaaad panda.
I really like that ΧΈΧ face key... anyone that want to sell or trade me something for one?
I'm so sorry I didn't gamble and buy one of these EOY bags.
Should've got 1 when I had the chance!
That's what I said last year.I'm so sorry I didn't gamble and buy one of these EOY bags.Should've got 1 when I had the chance!
Apparently this is a yearly thing - just hang around until next year.
Interestingly enough, I got into Round 4 because I wanted to buy a 'Keyboard Runner' keycap and had no idea it was tied to Round 4 and would take forever... I got one from this EOY Special :P
That white key with the raised black triangle is interesting. Anyone know what that's from?

it's for a company that makes products for the visually impaired, the small keyboard has several raised shapes to allow the user to interact with there device.
Interesting.
Can you get keycaps with braille instead of standard lettering?
Just askin' as a keycap maker just posted and might know something :)

i dont know of anyone that makes braille keycaps but i havent really done much work in that field. these shapes dont go into a full keyboard, just an interface with a few buttons. off the cuff i can see 2 major problems 1- you need distinct tooling for every cap which would be costly and 2- the switches need to be stiff enough to allow a user to feel the braille without depressing the cap and that might be a tough balance
i assume voice recognition or touch typing is a better option for most
