Where did you get your caps?
« on: Sat, 24 November 2012, 20:46:22 »
I see some amazing keycaps on Geekhack. What caps do you own and where did you get them?

Yeah I've ordered from Keyboard Story and Keypop before.  eBay is another option but the price is usually a bit higher since eBay take some cuts so the seller would put the price a bit higher  :(

"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

98% of mine are from various vintage Cherry sourced through ebay, taobao and forum member sales and trades. Others are from groupbuys made by SP and a couple from imsto. Will have more from imsto once they are out of production.
