Its a KÖLCH cap! (Not sure exactly) looks to be for a R3 set (maybe?)

You are so helpful! I can tell that it's from SP and it's not black but more of a dark grey, hard to tell from the picture. I assume the word is German for control or alt or something like that.

EDIT: Tried Google Translate to no avail.

(Attachment Link)

Kölsch is a special german beer variety. It's mostly drunk in Cologne (german: Köln). But it's famous all over germany and maybe outside of germany also... But it's not everybodys taste and a lot of peole say that it's not a real beer.

Is the keycap a promotion by the company?  Or just made by or for a fan?
"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

Kölsch is not a company, it's a variety or art or type of beer (sorry, my english is not the best and I dont know whats the correct word)

So it's more a linguistic joke, because "Alt" is also a german beer type. Mostly drunk in Düsseldorf. And Köln (home of Kölsch) and Düsseldorf have something like a rivairy.

iMav said it's from R3. Dont know who had this nice idea. :D

If somebody has one for spare, I'd love to have a Kölsch-keycap :)

Received my Premium Pack goodies today. Not the luckiest one here, though. I got a 104-key set of black engraved PBTs. I actually already have that set, so if any other Premium purchasers need that set and want to trade, just let me know. Very nice bonus gift for my donation. Thanks very much!

What happens when the sale ends?  What if there are any left?

This has been an expensive month for me in other areas and I am trying to raise funds in PayPal to get one of these.

we also forgot to schedule the prototype pack separately, so lump the prototype pack (with the spacebars) in with the premium pack items :)

So I never quite understood this. Did you make a 10th premium pack with the prototypes? Or did you add spacebars to the premium buyers? Just trying to gauge if it will ever be possible to get a hold of one.

Thanks!  It is really hard to capture in a picture since it is reflecting light all over the place!


All the lucky recipients of Bro-Bots will receive one as well :)

actually there was a miscommunication between boiler and i, so he still has yet to put the spacebars up for sale. he'll put them up for sale when he has time. there will be exactly one "set" with the spacebars, and i believe it will cost about the same amount as a premium pack.

to all the brilliant friends who have left us, and all the students who climb on their shoulders.
