Got everything but the candy corn ones. Just looks wrong. It's like you spilled ketchup and mustard on your keys. The jack-o-lantern one is awesome.

I got the jack o' lantern and the all-grey. I agree. The candy corn colours don't seem like they would fit with my either my white or black filco.

Is anyone getting the arrow or wasd set? Those seem really weird.

I feel like I should buy these to resell, but I'm just too lazy to bother. Maybe next round.

Wyse buy colors were GSY for the dark grey, GBA for the light grey, and BBI for the fonts.

You got here less 15 min after the keys got listed on EK... It's hard to believe how fast it ends.

This is why they should have raised the price on these way higher than they were listed at. People just buy them simple to resell.

The funny thing is that right after I replied to your post in the other thread with "wishful thinking...," I was about to go to pick my girlfriend up from class. Then my Skype window rings. So I chatted with this guy for about 1-2 minute before I saw your post come up.

I would have raged if I went to pick up my gf right away..

I had a pre-production WASD key set and they look AWESOME! I know what you mean though, the picture makes them look darker and more red but the orange is really bright and they look just like candy corn. I think they look pretty darn good-n-tastey on a white board but on black board is where it's at I think. It's so bright and fresh looking.  :hungry:

I never thought I would get to use that fork and knife one! HA!

I had great foresight to not buy the candy corn ones. Otherwise I'll spend half of my time on the computer trying to lick my keys.

To a certain extent yes. If the keys were listed at $100 each, you aren't gonna see people paying $300 for them on the secondary market.
