So, I don't really have anything clever right now. We wanted to try out 1st shot translucent polycarbonate, so we picked some colors that we thought might look good and holy crap they ended up looking incredible. In the style of Apple computer, I'm going to go ahead and call this key the "March Geekhack Key (Late-in-Month)".

Basically, what ended up happening is that you get a bit of tint from the orange polycarb first shot, and then you see the texture of the ABS (which is not completely opaque, especially under backlight), inside the legend. It's a really cool effect.
Now, the bad news: because this was an experiment, we ran about half the usual quantity. Hopefully there's enough for everyone who wants one.
Ok, more good news: we still have a little bit of really old stock left. We have about 40 January sets and some random pieces of the original geekhack pack (stickers, key checking sheets, orange on grey doubleshots). I've had Boilermaker assemble a special blowout pack which contains the following:
1x March Geekhack Key (Late-in-Month)
1x March Geekhack Key (Clover)
1x January Geekhack Pack
1 random item out of the following three possibilities {2 GEEKHACK stickers, 1 key checking sheet, one set orange on grey GEEKHACK+G+H doubleshots} sorry, there was some miscommunication on this, and these didn't get packed into the orders. i'll find another fun way to give them away :)
all for the ultra-low price of 8.50$ (while supplies last!!)
You can also buy the March Geekhack Key (Late-in-Month) for 4$ a la carte.
As usual, order from techkeys here:

Who are all you people with your stolen avatars?
Also, a set of carbon fibre keycaps would be totally awesome! Would whomever is currently pretending to be mkawa please get those made up ASAP? Then whomever is pretending to be i3oilermaker can sell them, apparently for free.
Thanks again in advance!

It's great to see all these new keycap types coming out monthly. This whoops a steak-of-the-month club, and that's saying something.

Wait, so what if you made like these keys, but every key.
There could finally be good aftermarket keycaps for backlit boards.

I'm considering doing a groupbuy for a full set...these are sweet, and the inverse would be sweet too.
They won't light up evenly like a lasered key would, but they still look great without back-lighting.

A full set would be awesome for anyone with a Ducky Shine, QuickFire TK, etc. :)

I should get some of these..

loving you/tech keys guys are back on the poly-carbon stuff, don't like the cone though.... unless i was making a dedicated VLC key on my phantom i dont see any place for it (lol) but got the other 2.
i just realized the February geek hack key sold out and that sucks--i should have gotten like 3 of those because it is my favorite "novelty" keycap along with the dice set. I dream of a day where tech keys (or somebody) would offer a full set like the February stuff..

So... you're saying you have a dedicated Nuke key?
Who puts keycaps on their keyboards anyway.

imo the cone is awesome. in fact, the other two keys with the bigger legends look even more insane under backlighting. example:
