I don't know that I deserve it, but I have never won a clack drawing, and I really need some 1u keys for my infinity keyboard when it comes in!
Thanks all the same for the opportunity. It's really cool when people in the keyboard community do things like this.
i deserve it because i have 100k+ posts
I don't deserve it because I don't own a bs board, but nice give-away nubbs! :thumb:
How nice of you. :)
I'd love to buy them from you. I do already have other clacks, but I'd put these on a kishsaver that I have incoming... it'd be a great match. :P
Oh wow, my first Nubbinator sale, I'll give this a try :)
I grew up with Model Ms in my elementary school (first keyboard that I've ever used), and they hold great nostalgic value to me.
When I was fortunate enough to finally find a SSK in great condition for a fair price, I was so happy that I decided to also build a retro-inspired PC for it! :pShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/4o1CfkY.jpg)
Ever since, I've been looking for classy novelty caps to add to the SSK, but haven't found anything yet. I feel these will compliment the board perfectly :thumb:

10/10 would play flash games on
Provided an authentic image, I'd vote for this one for sure. You need a new mouse though!!

I also dream of having an octopink so much but why this is a BS octopink? :cry:
I am a noob here so do not have much chance of winning hbut do have a Model M and would feed it love every day.
Thanks for doing this!
Would love that navy blue and/or forest green BB v2. HavE been looking for my first BB for months now, not having luck in any of the recent sales on CtrlAlt. I feel like it would go awesome with the Calm Depths set. Likely both of them will be given away to my siblings, as this year, both are getting keyboards from me for X-Mas. One will receive a B-87r, the other a LZ-B8.
I don't own a clack and I have wanted a classy looking cap for my ibm model m for a while. I recently acquired my second model m on kijiji, had to drive quite far away to get it. But it was worth it.
Here it is:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/GQgrNE2.jpg)

Just wondering, do you have better pics of your Model M?
I'm really intrigued by something, it looks like the keys are sitting on a plastic plate, or glued together by a white plastic plate o_o never seen that before.
Just the regular beige barrel plate. My phone camera made it look strange.
Good guy nubbs :eek:
This is one of the few clacks that I'd go out of my way to acquire. I didn't like it at first, but I've been drooling over it since I saw madhias' pictures of it. There's nothing I'd love more than to give this clack a new home on my F107 which I'm currently restoring, or an SSK that I hope to get soon :cool:

Sell it to Pho, but only when he promises to release some of his goodies :D
i would like to buy all your clacks op.
I'll take it if he doesn't.i would like to buy all your clacks op.
For you, $5million.
100 for the pink mx pls
Also, some of you I recognize as supporters of the fakes from Reddit, so you won't be in the mix. I'm only looking at people who show off how they'll put it to use. If there are more than one good one, I may put up my Checkey set as well.
I have no artisan caps as of yet, and only 3-4 novelty caps. I also don't have any fancy group buy keycap sets at the moment... using mostly old Cherry sets and the like. Just sold off all my boards and starting my collection over with self-built boards from kits... It just felt better this way, and felt more like my boards were mine. And for the first time, wanting to put something like an artisan cap on it has become an urge I've been having. Of all artisan caps I'd seen, I'd been partial to Brobots, and there is one I recall seeing on a GH picture somewhere before but I had no idea who makes it, it looked like a giant purin with the caramel syrup on the top and all. That would be the one cap I want above any other...
BUT onto the topic at hand! That being the case, I am currently putting together a JD40 and the whole brushed metal minimal look of it would go perfectly with this metal checkey. It's pretty much done already, just awaiting a replacement straight stab wire for the spacebar. Haven't yet decided what keyset to use on it, but if I had the checkey, I'd definitely decide the set as something based around it. Possibly even the PBT Granite set when it ships.
Now that I'm putting together my own kits, I've been keeping my eyes open for artisan caps that would go will with and help give character to the boards.

So... You want to punish people who aren't part of the "inner circle" that trades only with each other, that do what they can to get nice caps by... excluding them even further from the "inner circle"?
Whats the logic behinde this? You want to shrink the circle so in the end you all know each other by name and just send pics to each other with pics of caps no one else can ever get?
You really think this is a smart thing to do, assuming you want to limit the popularity of "copy" caps?
Seems ass backwards to me but then again I'm an outsider looking in with a pocket full of cash wanting some nice caps, that a small circle trade with each other and like it that way.
he doesn't like people who supports k3kc (for obvious reasons...) and probably don't feel like they deserve a shot at a real clack if they're supporting someone who is making counterfeit clacks
I still dont get it, so regardless of why once you picked up or supported something you enjoy that you in no other way could possibly get, you are the enemy?You're silly.
Talk about elitism. Is there any way to get onto the pedestal or do you need to be invited?

Knock-offs are nice caps?
Sometimes you need to get to know the community before you get all the perks of being member of a forum. I didn't get an "invitation" or how you would like to call it, but I spent time here because I enjoy keyboards. Your moment will come when you can buy clacks, there was even a sale about a week ago (pun intended) and you had every right to join it. However if you support people like k3kc that is strongly disliked among us (you might even get banned at sales etc.), you are just making it harder for yourself. Clack offers will come but you need to have patiencehe doesn't like people who supports k3kc (for obvious reasons...) and probably don't feel like they deserve a shot at a real clack if they're supporting someone who is making counterfeit clacks

the difference is that k3kc is profiting from the caps and acting like a complete douche, and if you like clacks so much why don't you go buy one for aftermarket price, there are alot of threads selling one atm, o waitHowever if you support people like k3kc that is strongly disliked among us (you might even get banned at sales etc.), you are just making it harder for yourself.
Buy the wrong cap, get shunned by the community. Now I know
Think its silly, GH had their own copy sale of caps they stole the design for. Dont understand how this is any different (apart from the inner inner circle not liking K3KC). Cant find the thread but it had a cap with this logo on it: http://i.imgur.com/su5z9lh.png

2. Priority goes to those who do not have any Clacks already. That said, if you do have some already, feel free to put in for it, the important part is that you use it.
This Should be taken to pms or another thread.
Hope the checkkey finds a good home!

Is it possible to get a transparent brobot v2 for ~$100 or less? If so please PM the details
I just like clean caps and I dont even like the clacky skulls would much rather buy the v2 bots, the thing is that there aren non being sold.
The whole situation to me is silly, a small circle throwing pies at all the people who can't get their hands on something they have a ****ton of and when alternative emerge then the pie throwing goes into high gear.
I can support 100 new cap makers, all of the making amazing new designs but if I say one good thing about K3KC Im still the devil?
The whole situation to me is sillyThis basically sums up the clack/bro/whatever game. It is very silly. It is nice to support local members and is exciting to get in on a sale, but it has definitely exploded into something extremely silly.
I can support 100 new cap makers, all of the making amazing new designs but if I say one good thing about K3KC Im still the devil?The distinction is the K3 is not making new designs, but straight copying off of other members here. If he initially came out with his own design, then people would have supported him.
Ok this is the last post I'm going to make about this subject, if you want to discuss it further pm and me and we can have a conversation.the difference is that k3kc is profiting from the caps and acting like a complete douche, and if you like clacks so much why don't you go buy one for aftermarket price, there are alot of threads selling one atm, o wait

awesome nubs!
I've never owned a clack (or any BS artisan caps for that matter).
The only artisan caps I haven't kept I've sold at retail (I'll give you some names if you like, I remember a few who got their first bro from me) which, while it doesn't automatically make me "worthy", shows that I'm in this for the fun and creativity and not profit. I like to do things like buy two gasmasks when they go on sale, then give the second at retail to someone who wasn't around during the sale.
plus, I recently got a BS keychain and it's just sitting here...sad and alone...Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/2dhSkAm.jpg)
good luck everyone!

I never owned any artisan caps besides gas masks and a hellboy, but I find the Checkey to be a nice entry point. Aesthetically, I find it looks great on IBM boards, and it practically shines when compared to my gray desk and my SSK. Although the keycap isn't made of metal, the metallic look has always been a thing for me ever since I got my hands on metal-backed keyboards such as the Zenith ZKB2R and Omnikey keyboard.
Since my purchase of my SSK back in February, I noticed I have been using the keyboard quite a lot. This is surprising for me because I've always known myself to use my Topre boards the most. I think the reason I've been using my SSK so much is because it's the only clicky keyboard I own that truly satisfies me when my keyboard rotation calls for it. Personally, I think good artisan keycaps are what make me use certain boards more. I almost always slap on my ruby red gasmask and hellboy Topre keycaps when I begin to use my Topre boards because I love the subtle addition of color and craftsmanship it adds to the overall premium quality of the boards. Of course, the SSK is no exception to the quality I look for when adding artisan keycaps.
I don't think I have the great amount of passion, such as Karura's efforts to create a retro-pc specifically for his SSK, to utilize the Checkey. However, like many of the users who made the effort to test their luck, I just wanted to communicate my interest and appreciation for the Checkey.
Here is an old pic of my SSK:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/QHQCeJz.png)
Thanks for giving users the chance to own the Checkey. As a person who purchases personal archival prints, I know it's not easy to let go of them when you think it can go in better hands. I purchased quite a few prints that never quite worked well in my rooms, and so they often become gifts to my friends and family who share similar tastes.

That's a glass desk? A fantastic photo btw, looks like the keyboard is floating :D

Compared to no caps, very nice actually
Right now I have four names that I'll be using random.org to choose one from. I'm going to give it until 10PM like I said I would, then will draw one promptly at 10:01PM and will post shortly after.

Alright, here we go:
Karura - I love the fact that you built a whole computer around a keyboard. That's ridiculous and awesome. The pictures didn't hurt either.
admiralvorian - Few things make me exhale sharply through my nose or laugh on the internet. Your post did both. While you don't have a BS board....yet, it would be fun on the keychain and would get some use, which I want to see.
remdell - oddly enough it wasn't your keyboard, but your passion for other collectibles and wanting to appreciate and pass them on when they don't fit your aesthetic.
Rodgaroon - you have a **** stack on your desk. Need I say more? Actually it's more that you see what community is about and want to help make it community. We need more of that, more compassion, and less selfishness.
So onto the drawing:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/NNSlTSW.png)
I wish I had a cap to give to all of you. I may try and whip something up special for you guys, but this time around, it goes to Karura.
The Checkey set is going out to Photeqk. I never knew he wanted them, but they're going to him for being an amazing guy. I approached him about a case idea and he took the task on and has done all the CAD work without wanting a thing in return. Sending him the set is the least I can do to say thanks.
Unrelated, help me find that Ragerot!
Took you on a date for nothing!!!!!

contrary to the douches immediately flipping caps they purchased.
But hey, the buyers are condoning and perpetuating this behavior. So it's not all entirely on the sellers.
nubbinator, is your awesome sale still going on? I just managed to get a novatouch through a local trade. The board should be here next week and I would love to have an artisan keycap for it.
What you do is great, keep it up :)

Post directly above yours says he mailed the caps. Also these don't fit on Novatouch/MX board.
