Missing keycaps?
« on: Tue, 06 October 2015, 13:45:47 »
 Hi everyone !
So yah. After a bit time enjoying these stuffs,I figure out that  I sometimes  have problems with rare sets. They missed some caps and I think that was from PO.
How these missing keycaps affect to the sets value?
 Is there any chance to collect them like customize single caps for my sets?
Much appreciated !

That would depend on the set, and which keycaps are missing.

If it is a custom colour from GMK, for example, you are unlikely to get them to make a single keycap.  You'd have to hope that someone had purchased a few extra sets and was willing to split the sets to complete your set.

If they are more common, or at least more accessible, such as DCS or DSA keycaps from PMK, you could probably ask nicely and they might make you some.

Anything else you'd need to identify the set and missing keycap/s.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Thanks for answering my question pretty clear.
I think I got some experience buying stuffs now and should be careful with those missing caps.

Not a missing cap, but I always wanted to get a full length right GMK Dolch right shift, so I could use the OG cherry ones with a tenkeyless.  Contacted Originative, and they hooked me up.  The more communication, the better.
Yes, you are right. It would be nice to communicate :D
