Were there ever Topre Darth Vader caps made?
« on: Sun, 14 October 2012, 02:29:49 »
Every Vader I've seen has been MX.  Were any super special non-skull caps made in Topre?

Yes.  ;)

And as a interesting little note, initially more unique Topre compatible keys were made over their MX counterpart.

I think by "initially" he was referring to in the beginning, like 1.5 to 2 years ago but I could be wrong.

I think it would be very interesting if CC disclosed some numbers of how many of each are made, but somehow I doubt they will. Most artists number limited runs, just saying, might be nice for the buyer to know if they paid $500 on something there is 6 or 6000 of for example.

Not knowing how many of each colour have been made can lead to some frustration, like after the recent Hack Orange sale.

But I prefer it that way - it adds to the mystery.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. 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. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

So in conclusion I won't get one unless I pay an inordinate amount. Was hoping to trade 3 regular clacks for one. Lol

What, did the market flood with Hack Oranges or something? Are they not worth that much?

Clickclicks are worth nothing more than what you think they're worth.
