Keycap of Mystery

[mmmty]

mkawa is guilty until proven otherwise.

[rowdy]

I'm kinda new and haven't received one

Newness sucks sometimes.

Lots of the old crowd haven't got one (YET?) Either, so you're in good company.

[mkawa]

That MX Mini looks like it's embedded into the table, but then I realized there was a wrist rest...

Yeah that messed with my brain too

[AKIMbO]

LMAO...I totally thought that keyboard was part of the desk.

[alaricljs]

Nice bamboo... shame I don't like wrist rests.

[sth]

Nice keys... shame I don't like the MX mini

[WhiteFireDragon]

lol you guys are so easily fooled. It's pretty obvious...

I have a chaos theory.

"All of the normal posters are diverted to this e.g. kawa, demik,other kawa. So rootworm decided to attack again. Everybody is to busy waiting to find out who it is for months on end that Rootworm has taken down GH. Rootworm now believes that they can take down anything and have sights set for google and youtube and DT. This causes internet server crashes and the online world ceases to exist. the government blames a terrorist for this  and this causes a global thermonuclear war destroying the world as we know it."

Will the person reveal themself to save the world  from almost certain destruction?
I am begging!

So this "AF" is a terrorist group?

I was thinking this might also be good promotional giveaways for a new vendor coming out.  Perhaps an international vendor of some type...

[Quarzac]

mkawa is guilty until proven otherwise.

He didn't have Reaper's address. How would he have shipped to Reaper?

That's a good thought.  Maybe someone here is setting themselves up to make key caps on a (semi-) commercial scale, and is providing samples.

I wouldn't think so since they are doubleshot. The equipment is so expensive, and no matter what we think to ourselves, our orders are negligible and would not be of that much interest to a new manufacturer that they would go and do something like this. My 2c

Have you all just cleared the ones who claims to have gotten caps from all guilt? I think that it may just be one of them, it would be a perfect way to remain innocent.

[poxeclipse]

Anyway, it seems to be somebody from LA.

Checked my mail today, and there was a package from Vancouver, BC for me.  Opened it and a lovely Keycap of Mystery.  I googled the address on the package, and it was a McDonald's.  WTF.

Though, I think I know who it is.

I just purchased some keycaps from him last week.  Inside both separate packages were the same green coloured peanuts.  He probably didn't think I kept the first package, but I did (out of laziness). 

Here's a hint:  There's a DAMN good reason why mkawa, demik, and litster haven't received one; and he's probably kicking himself for sending one to somebody else on the list.  )

are you trying to say we should be on red alert?

[litster]

The alert is fake.

[mmmty]

Neither ripster nor webwit has my address.

[el2k]

I WANT ONEEE!!

[IPT]

Neither ripster nor webwit has my address.

Only demik and tsangan has my addy. Don't think I bought anything from mkawa. And it wasn't neone recent as it was sent to my old address that I moved out of 4 months ago

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III

[kaiserreich]

Ragnarock?

[litster]

damn it.  Please let it be mkawa...  I want one.

I know donations have been discussed before, but I thought about this the other day.  I recently made a donation to GH, and noticed that it defaults to add an address (since it must be charging as something like goods/services versus gift where you don't need an address).  So I'm thinking that whoever handles the donations (iMav probably), is the one's handing these keycaps out.

That would explain how all these addresses are being collected.

Nope...it's kawa.

[demik]

well if it's through donations, it could still be kawa. seeing as he's an admin and talks to imav.

[mmmty]

yeah, wouldn't be too hard for kawa to get the information he needed to send out the keycaps.

[KeyboardRookie]

How many people got this so far?

[486]

How many people got this so far?

23 people verified.
Maybe the reason demik hasn't recieved one is because he all ready had them.
but until then, kawa is guilty until proven innocent!

[poxeclipse]

Yes, it could be a team: demik, mkawa, ?, ?, ...
Then demik is right when he says "it's not me", for the answer should be "it's {mkawa, demik, ... }".
One of them got a few pounds of these AF key caps, shared some with others and set up the plan.
So, demik, are you one of them ?
mkawa, are you one of them ?

[DanGWanG]

I got one yesterday but it was a gift from Dante at the chicagoland meet

I don't have the time nor the money to do this. If it was me, I'd tell everybody it was me. Trust me.

[Glissant]

Ok, ok. It was me.












Not really.

I don't trust you tho. But its ok, truth is it was me.



JK it wasn't.

[reaper]

Now everyone saying it's them so might as well join in..    it was me! =P

[asdf]

Now everyone saying it's them so might as well join in..    it was me! =P

Was just about to say this. Reaper double confirmed

[mmmty]

So, it is reaper. That makes sense.

Hmm, it might be reaper. 

[Djuzuh]

The hivemind has just changed its target !

Please follow the change to get social reconnaissance, and tell everybody reaper send the mystery keys.

You guys are truly desperate and grasping straws, aren't ya? This reminds me of:
