Title: Found and got a Kosmovant keycap! :D

This was one hard keycap to find! I finally found someone in Sweden that was willing to sell one for a pretty penny :D

Oh defs, I'm not reselling this... though I never saw the original sale, I can probably guesstimate that I paid way over retail

My end game is near though, just have a Space Cadet TKL set coming and a braided cord that are both on their way :)

you can check the details of previous sale items from KK in his official sales thread under Artisan Services:

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74757.0

please look at post #2 for KK's previous sale item's retail pricing.

Congrats on getting a Kosmo, I have still yet to manage to find one myself.

Congratulations, that's an amazing piece of craftmanship.
Right now I am hoping to be chosen in just one raffle. I'm sure with time and a little luck I will though. :D

Texture feels great! A really good looking piece of art... I hit it a lot tho, since I'm a coder, the Esc key is hit on the regular :/ seems to be holding it's own fine tho :)

I currently have it on my NovaTouch CoolerMaster, so no back lighting like on my Codekeyboard, but still looks so good.

These are pretty neat but I never understood the crazy appeal of them. Is it just because it is somewhat rare?

I've been longing for one since I missed out on the sale. The odds of winning one were close to 1:10 so a lot of people who wanted one were out of luck. I hope to grab one someday as I think astronaut stuff is really neat and the collaboration between kk and booper turned out really well. So for some it may well be that the rarity is the driving factor behind the desire for them but for me I just really like the design. The sale was also really interesting with secret codes and secret prizes to be won.

Honestly, after looking at some more of them, they are pretty sweet. Disregard my stupid comment.

Not at all, friend. It's not for everyone.
