Title: ClickyKeyboards Caps
Post by: tricheboars on Wed, 02 October 2013, 18:35:39
Sup nerds,

just wanted to report to yall about my experience with clickykeyboards.  so this weekend i was cleaning the caps of my model m.  i washed them ****ers with soap and hot water and put them in a pillow case to dry in my dryer.  caps came out super clean, except one the little hands that holds the space stab bar broke so it wouldnt hold the stab properly. oh no! what is a man to do?!

clickykeyboards.  the spacebar cost me like 5 bucks and i got a few other replacement caps to. i ordered all of this on monday. two days later i have the keys. A+ would buy **** from them again.

i thought about going with unicomp as well but i thought i would prefer to keep it original if possible. the caps that came look like they have a small bit of wear, but it actually is perfect as it matches the wear on the rest of the board.

You started your post with "Sup nerds" which sounded pretty rude.

I'm sure he was just joking.  Relax.  Not a big deal.

Maybe he was addressing his post to these guys:

I always talk to my candies before I eat them.

Shut up, Snickers!

Now you are just being barbaric. Humanizing the candy then chomping off its head.

Unicomp is cheaper for (standard) caps and for shipping, too, but the old originals are better to fill out a vintage set.

I have bought from both companies, and give them both an A+ rating.

PS - Colored Unicomps are stunning but get very pricey very fast if you are ordering more than a few of them.
