Title: Misplaced keycaps
Post by: StylinGreymon on Mon, 13 October 2014, 16:37:28
There's nothing worse than, when cleaning/photographing/prepping a set for sale, you discover that there's one keycap missing.
Just one cap, and now it's unsellable.

I just don't know what went wrong  :confused:

But then you ask yourself....did you ever actually have it? :eek:

Post the set and cap maybe someone has a spare.

Exactly!

It is the F5 key, and I only use 60% boards, and I don't recall ever checking for it, but...
It's for my Macross/Scull Squadron DSA set.

Oh, I hope I'm just blind.

Or just give SP a call and see if you can get another one.

Yeah, SP is usually pretty cool about stuff like this.

Or sell it (with full disclosure) to someone who just needs it for a 60%? You'd obviously have to discount it quite a bit, though.

I'm sure many would be happy with just the 60% part.

SP has amazing support! I emailed them asking if it's possible to order a new one when I realized that my granite set from the group buy six or so months ago had a missing question mark. I stored them away and waited until the day I got a Poker. Since it was my first keyset I assumed that the whole set was complete.
Next day, they emailed me saying that they had a spare and shipped me a new one! :D
