NK65 and lottery tickets

[Leslieann]

NK65 Aluminum in Black sold out in 3 minutes.
NK65 Aluminum in Silver sold out in 4 minutes.

By the 2 minute mark I had a black in the cart, hit Paypal, came back to the cart to hit confirm, go through the CAPTCHA, and got stuck waiting in line for processing, they were gone before I got processed. Quickly, I went back threw a silver in the cart, ditched the black and this time actually managed to complete check out. After double checking to see if my eyes were not lying to me (order confirmed), I went back to the silver page and it was now gone as well. I'd buy a lottery ticket but I think my luck is done for the year.

Anyone else manage to get one?
I know it was just a small shipment (and yes I feel quite lucky to even get a silver) but this is just silly.



P.S. If you haven't bought Christmas gifts get them now, it's not just computer parts that are in short supply.

Had Crimson Cadet + it's spacebar kit in my cart & was on the waiting page in under 30 sec of them opening up, still took an L on them though. Oh well, glad to hear someone got what they wanted!

Sorry to hear that.
Wasn't quite what I wanted but after 4 months of waiting I'll take it.

Imagine going back 3 years ago and explaining how in a couple years they would be waiting in line for webcams, GPUs, CPUs, books, puzzles, much less soap, toilet paper and paper towels. No one would believe you.

3 minutes still pretty good chance to get one if it took that long to sell out. Better then other FCFS where its gone in 30 seconds.

It's better than 30 seconds but still, it's a keyboard, not even a new model.

I worry that by the time Christmas gets here we're going to be playing Hunger Games Keyboard Edition, whoever survives gets the opportunity to pay full price for a Corsair with Outemo blues.
