Enjoy because I can't take super nice pictures have a super nice video*

Warning video may or may not be super nice

Ehh, just a red one.

Meanwhile, some people would kill for one of any color lol
Aha as I said I always feel underwhelmed when getting these as I always think they should be....Squishy like not solid more like PVC is maybe its just me O>O its a nice red though, its very dark not light its almost like those I think they where called forgotten skulls from the 4th of july sale last year?

I'm the exact same way. I always feel they will be squishy even though I know they aren't.

Yea it's a nice red.
I thought forgotten was a bit more of a maroon color.

Either way, nice get :thumb:

And I enjoyed the video
yeah my camera is horrible but when I look at it then the forgotten on it look almost the same its very dark red in person :X

I'll call it Sinanju red :p

<3 Glad you enjoyed it, Anyway you should totally Subscribe because im only 48 subs right now maybe I can get 50 :p

It seems like there is quite a lot of luck involved with these clackvents. I've seen lots of variation in desirability within the same price ranges. I guess it may be because CC himself didn't pack/ship everything.

I feel like there were some mix ups that happened in order to get everything sent out

I mean, it's not likely, but that's what I tell myself when someone got better things are a lower or the same cost :|

That's a nice blue! Looks a little like my globe blue, maybe a little lighter, but that could just be the picture.

Thanks, guys. Yeah it's a little different shade of blue. Darker than baby blue but of course lighter than royal or plain blue. I thought it might match my blue gamer set from R3 but it's a bit darker.

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there.

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yep. One of the most expensive items on the second hand market today literally sat there for months when they first went on sale.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Were these actually available just.. to buy? Like, did they not have a set quantity limit or a countdown to a first come first serve sale?
Yep. One of the most expensive items on the second hand market today literally sat there for months when they first went on sale.

That is crazy!! I wish I had got into this game much sooner. I loved clacks the minute I laid eyes on them, but that was before I knew the second hand market prices (punch in the gut).

Thanks, guys. Yeah it's a little different shade of blue. Darker than baby blue but of course lighter than royal or plain blue. I thought it might match my blue gamer set from R3 but it's a bit darker.

My first thought was EK blue.

Whatever you do, do NOT look at the price on that page.  It's enough to make a grown man weep.  Where did I put those tissues ...

Uhh didn't someone clear that up before they did not sit for months they sat for a few days before getting sold out?

Even so, more than a couple of seconds would seem insane in this day..  :'(

I picked a pretty bad time to find out about CCs.. I also found this post which is pointing me in the direction of the therapy thread.

They did sit on EK's site for a while, available to anyone who wanted to buy them.  You have to understand though that Clacks were the very first artisan (at least that I know of).  The idea of paying more than $1-2 for a single keycap was crazy back then.  Unheard of.  I remember when we did R3 and people would add all of these cool one-off designs to the order, and at low quantities some of them were over $2.50 each, people were like "that's crazy I'm not paying that".


My, how times are different now.  You can't live in the past though.  I do wonder just how high prices will eventually go.  I'm not interested in paying them, and I already think that $50-$100 for a single cap is my very highest limit.  I don't make crazy amounts of money, and there's just other things that I would rather spend $150 on.  Of course, if one of you PM's me with an offer to sell me a GH, Senzunite, or Night Owl mkII for $150 I would probably change my mind.  :p

Okay so I have notifications for two parcels in my parcel locker. I'm waiting on three packages, one of which is my Clack. I LIKE THOSE ODDS.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.
