Title: Giveaway: Sugar in the salt shaker. Red Topre Bro ESC cap. WINNER ANNOUNCED
Post by: Nai_Calus on Sun, 12 July 2015, 02:08:27

So! I've had this cap for a bit now after winning it from the Bro giveaway before this last one, and it's gorgeous, but... I don't have a Topre board, and have no plans to change that. This thing deserves to go on a board. Lots of salt still around from the sales too. I got in to the Low Sodium sale, so as I promised in my entry for the giveaway that just finished, I'm giving this one away to a Broless Topre owner. Doesn't feel right to sell or even trade it since I got it for free, so it goes the same way it came. :)

Here's the cap in question:

(http://www.iankunx.net/redtopre1.jpg)
(http://www.iankunx.net/juicyproof.jpg)

Juicy Fruit Red Topre Esc. It's clear, it's shiny, it'll look sexy on a HHKB or RF or whatever. XD

And here are the requirements for entering:

- Must have been a GH member for at least 30 days.
- Must have more than 50 posts.
- Must have a Topre board that takes Topre caps.
- Must not have any Bros. I want to give someone who hasn't gotten any yet a chance to feel the love of Bro.
- International is OK, but shipping from the US is expensive so it'll probably end up going like... Airmail or something. I don't know, I haven't shipped anything internationally since like... 2007. XD;

To enter: Tell me why you want this. Make it entertaining, I want something to read. It doesn't have to be a novel or even actually good, I'm not even judging you on it, I'm just going to randomly draw a winner. Still. :)

I'll let this run until July 15th at 8PM Pacific Daylight Time. (GMT -7.)

Good luck. :)

Very generous :)

Unfortunately I have some Bros already, so I can't enter.  A shame as dark trans red is my (second) favourite keycap colour.

GL everyone :D

Hi! So glad you're doing this giveaway. I've been drooling over all the Bros that Cherry MX owners have and it's so hard to find a Topre key. Wish me luck!

The reason I'd like your cap is I'm currently in a (very unhealthy) obsession with keyboards and keycaps. Just last night, I had a dream about having a Miami keycap set for Topre. It seems that the thirst my fingers are having for good feeling of oneness with cup rubber have seeped into my brain and into the ethereal depths of my dreams. Please halp.

Anywho, thanks for doing the giveaway! Good luck to everyone. (Technically, I have yet to meet some of the requirements, but don't worry! Tomorrow is my 30th day on GH :D YAAAYYY)

P.S. I've attached a photo of my HHKB :) Bro-less and it only has subpar shapeways keycaps :(

Aww crap, i've met all of the requirements, except the posts count!
Should've been active in GH ages ago :D


Goodluck for everyone.

And Nai_Calus, you deserve a medal, sir!  :thumb:


NB:This is my first official post on GH. Im so happy

Been waiting for you to run this (although I forgot).

Thanks for doing this giveaway. I admire your wish to give this away since you got it for free

I would just like to add on to this giveaway.

Whoever wins this giveaway will also receive this Juicy Fruit Red Topre FN that will go perfectly with the esc.

I received this from Bro for free to replace a missing Fn key and I feel the same way about trading it so is like this to go to a nice home and this is the perfect opportunity :)

Nice giveaway! Not Bro-less but those are some great looking caps! I'm hoping Bro comes out with a similar gamer set for MX in juicy trans colors (purple?!), would be perfect for my Filco.

Someone's going to have a sexy board after this giveaway!

I don't have the required posts to win this but in any cases, if I'd win I'd sell it and give the money to Absyrd https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71569.0

I encourage the winner to do the same.

Post by: chive_ on Sun, 12 July 2015, 13:21:27

Thanks for the giveaways! Topre is one heck of a switch, and I have loved my HHKB to no end when I finally took the dive and bought one. But getting a Topre Bro to accompany it has been a struggle. I'm 0/9 in both raffle and email sales, so winning this giveaway would be amazing! Here's a picture of it in all of its beauty:

(http://i.imgur.com/eoMSMIG.jpg)

I use my HHKB a lot on the go, since I'm currently attending school as a computer science student. It's the perfect board to pair with my laptop because of how light and portable it is. Thanks again and good luck to everybody!

Edit: Woops, needed to rotate the image. My bad!

Post by: jerue on Sun, 12 July 2015, 16:02:54

I don't own any bro caps, but I did win a golden dibs ticket from him. So whether that counts...I guess you'll be the judge.

Anyways, if I won the Bro Esc/FN (thanks asdfjkl36!), I would put it on my Realforce in place of my Hellboy. I'm going for a red/black theme, and I ordered some red blanks from the recent HKP sale, I'd probably do a giveaway just like this one with those, and possibly the Hellboy or other Topre artisans I have as well.

Post by: xredman on Sun, 12 July 2015, 18:23:00

I want this cap so I can stop feeling bummed out when I miss or didn't get in on a sale. It is my favorite color and would definitely stand out from the rest of my keycaps.

I really appreciate the opportunity to win some Bro caps. Good luck everyone!

Post by: dwk396 on Sun, 12 July 2015, 22:34:05

Man...I do not have 50 posts so I guess I would not be qualified....
I am that kinda person who would not win any raffles.... anyway, I wish this keycap goes to the person who is not such lucky to win any kinda of raffle like me.

Title: Re: Giveaway: Sugar in the salt shaker. Red Topre Bro ESC cap.
Post by: trees on Mon, 13 July 2015, 08:00:32

Wow super cool for you to do.

I am currently Bro-less, I have over 50 posts, etc.


But more importantly then that, i have been bitten by that sweet cup rubber bug. I currently have a NovaTouch and a HHKB pro2, with an FC660C on its way in the mail today. I would love to be able to join the 'cool kids club' and don those sexy juicy fruit red caps proudly on my FC660 like a crown on a king.

Personally can't enter due to being new and being an MX user.

But its really neat to see things like this happen in the community. So thanks for doing such nice things!

Sp nice to see more and more actions like this  :thumb:
I would love them on my black HHKB but I have 2 BB's (one MX and one BS) so it's only fair to go to the broless guys  :cool:

Post by: absyrd on Mon, 13 July 2015, 10:03:44

These need to go to one of those nice naked white OR black HHKB. The trans red, though not my style, works well on both colors.

Hello there mates, I would like this cap (+bonus cap thanks to asdfjkl36!) because of the empty feeling that I had when I opened up my 87U, only to find that there was no red escape cap. This would fill me with joy from my toes to the top of my dome.

Here's a story:
It is currently REALLY cold in Brisbane, it dropped to 3 degrees the other day, being the coldest day of the year so far.. Currently 10 degrees Celsius and my hands are cold to the point where I can't use my fingers properly. How does the rest of the world live in their even colder winters? It is a mystery to me.

Good luck everyone else, I hope you're all submitting the appropriate number of goat-sacrifices to RNGesus.

Post by: TastaturenAuslese on Wed, 15 July 2015, 23:35:31

Best of luck to everyone! I haven't made any sacrifices to the RNG gods, but I'm gonna rely on Gambler's Fallacy since I haven't won any raffles yet so far.
