Keycap sales are usually small and for a limited time.  Check the Artisan Services subforum for most upcoming sales.  Some sales are secret.  Also some HKP artisans are sold at MechancialKeyboards.com.  Another good place to buy and trade for artisans is the Classifieds subforum and r/mechmarket.  Good luck, bud and don't go broke!

The majority of artisan caps are hand made items, and they are sold in small quantities. Thus making them sought after and your chance if getting them are slim. They are usually sold via raffles in the artisan subfirum

Maybe 3/4 a month. This month there was Booper's sale, recently was HWS/ETF/Bro.

You can also find some HKP artisan caps here: https://www.mechanicalkeyboards.co.id/products/filter/col=keycaps


I have bought 4 HKP Raven caps from HendyZone (mechanicalkeyboards.co.id).

also upcoming KK sale.

Where?

KeyKollectiv has been teasing their new artisan "Frankenfurt" since the Kommune livestream a few weeks back, so it's probably safe to assume that a sale is in the works. When the sale is, nobody knows. Just relatively soon. :D

Just following the various artisan and vendor threads.
"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

The scarce supply, community trading and handmade batches are what make artisans special. There are a few people crafting them in the maker's thread here on geekhack that might be open to selling them.

How long does it normally take to find out if you won a raffle?

Depends on the person running the raffle.

Sometimes a matter of hours, sometimes days.
