Title: Binge's Keythulhus and [Cu]thulhu
Post by: lcs on Tue, 19 November 2013, 19:32:41
Welcome to my first review ever :P

(Prepare your eyes for the amazing pictures I take with my cellphone)

Today I received my first (of many) Bingecaps. I must say, they are amazing and Binge's pictures of them do not make them justice at all.

(Clearly my pictures do)

The first thing I noticed with them is that the level of detail and the quality of the 'printing' (would it be casting?) is amazing. In my opinion, the keythulhus have the same, if not more, quality than Clacks. There is an awesome effect of '3dness' caused by the layers of tentacles. I really liked that the tentacles go to the side of the cap.

The [Cu]thulhu is awesome. I think it's a bit heavier than the other two caps, but I could be wrong. It's going to get greener with time as the copper oxidize and look even greater :) It's also the only [Cu]thulhu to have 40% of copper on the mix, so it makes it a bit more special to me :P

As CPTBadass mentions in his review, the caps are very thick:

The 3 Keythulhus, a GasMask, KeyPop cap and a thick PBT cap.

The Keythulhus are amazing. They are really well made and by far my favorite keycap. I highly recommend Binge's caps (http://bingecap.com) and CPTBadAss review (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49004.0) for a far more detailed and useful review of them.

I'm so glad you received them in good condition.  It's always pretty troubling when I send packages :D  Can't trust the mailmen with ma caps.

Those keythulus are my favorite caps Binge has made so far.  And, by the looks of it, he does what I do with the casting I've experimented with and fills the base of the cap with clay between the cross supports to make a more solid and better looking cap.

Binge-caps are great!  I too love keythulhus.  My favorite is the Aqua Fresh Keythulu for the translucent c'thulhu sitting on top of an opaque keycap.  The translucency really makes it look like a jellyfish :)  Need more translucent top Keythulhus  :thumb:
