Happy New Year GH. What is your 2016 Key Cap

[bcredbottle]

Making this thread was a mistake. All these beautiful caps that exist! so silly of me to think just the two that I wanted are the only ones. On another not I think i found a toothy grumpkin, price was a little high, so might not go through with it. I wanna trade into these :/ but will i ever own a candy corn like that?

You will!

I would honestly keep trying to trade unless it's a really rare opportunity for a cap high on your personal wishlist. You're starting out wanting some of the rarest/most expensive caps so naturally so it's perfectly normal if it takes you a while to procure them. Plus getting new interesting caps, trading with people, seeing your caps being posted by them, is all part of the fun (a journey is more fun than the destination kinda thing?). I have purchased some caps for more than I wish to admit - but in the end all of my caps are on my display board as equals.

Stick around long enough and something will come your way. Heck people have even contacted me through PM after seeing a rather insignificant post saying that I wanted a specific cap.

But if you really want a cap. You really want it.  ) And if you have the money in hand you'll get it.

This cheered me up

The pain of losing raffles and first come first serve sales is an important part of being an artisan collector. It sharpens the joy of acquisition.

How could I forget to mention this  

The sales on this forum are the most fun you can have! but they can also be the least fun

With patience and if you make friends here you will get what you want If you want a friendly advice, don't buy overpriced caps the satisfaction of hunting and trading and participating in sales will make you appreciate the caps more  I've seen in the last years a couple of people with deep pockets who bought what they wanted at any cost, and in the end the price paid was to big... lost the sympathy of the wonderful people here and just disappeared. It's true they had a huge collection worth $$$$, but lost the real value of this ... A cap won in a sale or giveaway has more value than anything bough with $$$

As soon as I clear a bit the stuff going on in my life I plan on sharing here some of my luck and a Grumpkin might be part of that So have patience my young padawan

So true. The anticipation of sales and closing trade deals is so much more fun than actually getting the "perfect" cap.

[keshley]

I'm on the lookout for two caps.

One of Binge's new swirly blanks
Bro Star Cluster, doesn't matter which cap, I just really like the Star Cluster look.

It also sucks! I lost a toothy grumpkin and a grumpkin the anticipation sometimes suck. However, I feel like the more times I will be let down, the better My first experience will be in getting something I want

[OfTheWild]

We need a calendar with all the sales schedules. I feel like i always find out about the sale after it went down in like 10 minutes.

[heedpantsnow]

In 2016 I want to be more content with what I have.  Not doing well financially and I used to jump on every sale I was remotely interested in.  Those days are over, but I prefer to think I'm acting with more restraint than just being broke. 

Also I want:
Peace on Earth
Clean water for everyone
End of sex trafficing
CC GH Tri Skull
CC Senzunite Raven
CC Senzunite Skull
Bro OG Reaper Brototype
Bro Solid Tritium BBv2
Bro Senzunite Keythulu

[pyrolovesmoney]

I am determined to get a booper monkey cap at some point. Also, I plan on making something super cool (for me at least) in the next few months.

[Joey Quinn]

Gold False Idol, topre Mummy Is, RageRot, and the Freedom Eagle Clack.

The first and last won't happen but I can hope. Funny enough though the Clack is more likely than the KBK. )

[rowdy]

Or something Fallout Yellow, actually.

[MeltingTeeth]

I want one of those Deskthority WingNut keys.

That one you have to earn, it can't be bought. So if you want one start making meaningful contributions to the keyboard community.

That is not mandatory, in 2014 GON won, this year E3E. Any outstanding contribution is appreciated, it can be photography, innovation, project and it's not limited to DT members, that's what's so nice at DT Awards. It helps if you are a member because you get more exposure but considering that DT members are active also on other forums you won't get unnoticed  

[GenKaan]

My first Reaper, ideally a Topre Star Cluster but anything black / red / gold would do!

[keyboardia1]

I'm fairly new to the whole artisan thing so for 2016 i'd like at least one BroCap, a CC if the gods are with me (they probably wont cuz i'm a filthy heathen), and while we're at it: i'd also like to get my hands on a Binge. I've already won one cap from KeyKollectiv this year but i guess another one would be cool too and if Booper could start making Topre keycaps, that would be great too.

I just realized that i'm probably up for some disappointment in 2016   

[sth]

TOPRE BLANK CC

[mrlooolz]

I snagged a grumpkin for a good deal, not that much more than retail! so happy! dint think it would happen so soon. However I seems to tight for the stem. I dont wanna break anything on the ducky. I will wait till the white fox gets here and ill experiment with an extra switch and some lube. Anytips?

[KeypressGraphics]

So far my favorite would be this one, which is currently for sale.

Congrats, you wanted one really bad  The tightness is solved really easy with a spare switch, just insert it gently a few times and problem is solved.

Yes i will wait for extra switches.  To try it!  Meanwhile my ocd about it being crocked is countered by how amazing it looks

[mrlooolz]

I started to get serious and research my end game!

the last candy corn skull sold for $275! and anada seems impossible to get! i dint even know it was that rare , i just like the colors lol ! well maybe i should give up on them too, the same way i gave up on ever being to date someone as hot as elisha cuthbert

Don't give up You have joined a month ago, already have 2 cool artisans, it took me way longer to get my first Bro and CC and even longer to get the one CC I really wanted and loved. The first CC sale I made in was after 2 years, but getting a CC from the "Man" himself is really something worth waiting for.
 Don't focus on this, enjoy the atmosphere here, make friends, learn about keyboards even build your own. Have fun! and nice things will happen. Don't throw away money, I ave tried to give you hints that you will get the grumpkin soon  as I am preparing a little something as a "thank you" for this great community.
It's worth more to invest time than money 

[mrlooolz]

Thanks man such kind words and yes I am enjoying the ride and the experience. I wasn't mad or anything. Ill keep collecting, my two keys from HKP came and they cool I love them. Soon Ill post a pic of what I have and I am more than happy to share with people of this great place

[CPTBadAss]

I'm hoping one of the lovely new and up-and-coming cap makers will come up with some fun Alps and BS caps. And of course I'm hoping ClickClack will release some more BS Clacks.

I painted it bocahgundul. It was designed by Tasker and I had it 3D printed out of frosted plastic. :)

[piemancoder]

I want any Bro or Boooper.

[tigersharkdude]

Booper - keywok, rabbit, and Bruce

Binge - one of the new white/trans/blue Lion Keyng

[Wulfre]

My first goal is to get a keyboard with switches that I actually like.


My second one is to get keycaps that aren't stock. I've been working on some colors that I like:




I hope I didn't blow any of you away with my high hopes and expectations

[Booper]

RIBBIT! 

And a KWK wrapped

[Steezus]

RIBBIT! 

And a KWK wrapped

Ooh both great choices! I'd love to get my hands on a Ribbit but they seem super hard to get.

[mobbo]

RIBBIT! 

And a KWK wrapped

Ahhhh congratulations! My dream cap.


Thought this was the what'd you get in the mail thread for a second, derp.

Good choices Booper

[mrlooolz]

Just looked these up! super cool!

[polentA]

Just really want to add to my small collection this year. Would love any one key from Binge, Bro, Booper, Retrochick, and maybe even Click Clack.  I would like to have a complete SnacKey set too (currently only have a Strawberry).  But if I could only pick one... it might have to be a Key-Wala.

[bocahgundul]

I changed my mind MY 2016 KEYCAPS DREAM IS RAGEROT OGRE

[rowdy]

A Fallout Yellow Skull would be great!

[DAVYtm]

Bloodpact Reaper v1 or a Red Topre CC. But if I don't get either this year, I'll survive
