$12 x 104keys = !!!!

Calculator Clear.

$12 x 87 = $1044.

Reset

$12 x WASD = $48.  

Hmm...

$21 x 1 Multicolored ESC =  WIN!!!!!


Being they only seem to be made for rows 5 or 6, I don't see that anyone would be getting them for their whole keyboard.  Seems they're targeted at users who want to just change the ESC or another single key, so the pricing does seem to make a lot of sense.

Well, let's see, I get two.  My brothers, sisters, mother, father, aunt, second-cousin, dog, cat, goldfish, etc. each get two.  Getting a full keyboard ought to be easy if they at least fit all the rows.

Well yeah, his original wording was "please do not spread the news until I update the topic".

Hope he has all those gnomes working on editing the post now before all the keys are sold out. :eek:

Hm the shipping for a single key isn't too bad considering overseas. But I can't decide which color I want


edit: If I buy two 12$ keys I'm 8 cents over the duty free allowance of 22 Euro including shipment and todays euro exchange rate.
Looking forward to the faces of the customs when I have to open the package in front of them and to show them two tiny keycaps

edit2: okay ordered blue and yellow one

Agreed. I would also prefer lettered keycaps in different colors. I'll probably get some of the blank red ones though.

Those WASD keys are sweet.

I'm still wishing the gaming world didn't evolve to the WASD key cluster... I started out on Doom and Quake using ESDF and have stuck with it for nearly 2 decades, because its simply better than WASD.  By moving over 1 key, you get access to alot more keys (3 with your pinky plus closer access to 6-0 for weapon switching), especially helpful in modern games with tons of control/macro options.   I guess the only thing better about WASD is its more aesthetically appealing to spell out lol.

/sigh/  At least I can dream of someday owning some badass ESDF keys like these WASD ones lol.

Art is never cheap unless you do it yourself.

Paper or plastic?

The price for one solid color skull isn't bad. The tri color gave me the :eek: look. I'm sure that one had more involved in the making process.

Doing it myself isn't cheap either, considering how often I would have to redo due to some major failing on my part.

I like how Elitekeyboard has the blank lavender keys for Topres, but doesn't have the same for Filco. I claim bias! keyboard-ism!

I think same too LOL but Anyways that Skull tricolor would look awesome on they Keyboard with the black roof and will match the realforce logo at top of the Esc Key.

I might get one of those and 1-2 Blank red keys.

But I'm in Europe and don't want to spend more on shipping that in the Keys themselves LOL. Maybe they can ship with something like sixty received his keychain:

Two keys to the UK was $6 postage and packing. I don't imagine Spain will be much different.

Then tomorrow I will put money for the paypal pay and will get the Skull for topre and maybe 1 Blank Red for Topre too. Getting too one MX Blue Skull for not using it right now since I won't be using the Steelseries for a long time but who really cares, for sure someday I will be purchasing one Filco Tenkeless with MX Blue just because Ripster hyped me with his prefered list :D

Random off topic question...does anyone know what kind of ecommerce solution elitekeyboards uses? I've been looking at learning how to code a wordpress site/theme with the purpose of making a small ecommerce site for non-keyboard products. I took a peek at the source code, from my limited knowledge it doesn't appear to be a Wordpress site. Overall it seems to be a nice ecommerce solution, whatever platform they use.
