Title: GH key caps
Post by: bMind on Mon, 21 October 2013, 14:03:56: While looking for inspiration and browsing through 'What did you add to your Keyboard today?' thread I've seen many of you have GeekHack caps, either Esc key or letters G and H. Can I get those somewhere? :) My first mech is on it's way and I would like to pimp it up with some GH love when it arrives :)

Geekhack caps can now be found in various keycap group buys such as Raindrop and Klaxon. Techkeys, Keypop, and QWERKeycaps also carry GH caps. More info can be found here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38972.0).

And in the future, you can use Simple Questions Simple Answers to ask a quick question instead of starting a whole new topic to ask a question ^__^.

Sorry, thought this will be more complicated answer.

They pop up occasionally in Classifieds (this is the best bet for the older ones).

Many custom sets include GH keys to match the set.

Techkeys used to do custom ones from time to time (and might be starting this up again - here's hoping!).

Wait, what?

Tears or sour grapes about lower prices in the past?

This breaks sellers' hearts even more than it breaks buyers' hearts.

Been looking for GH keys for a while. Tried getting the two from the miami GB, but it would cost $5+$5 for shipping. That is 23 keys, including 3 modifier keys. For $20, thats less than $1 a cap for new ones, and even the lowest price I've found so far for keys is $1 from metal for used ones that he didn't like anymore

Heh my daughter is in that situation - she has about 30 novelty keycaps and no board (until I can checkout a spare Trigger I have and see if it will work for her).
