NOT REAL: what if CC took custom orders

[whiskerBox]

Ok so here is the fake scenario:

CC takes custom orders and they are $200 per keycap.

1. Would you order one at this price?

2. What would you get?

Keep in mind this is just for fun and I have no affiliation with the Clackfactory or CC himself. I am just a fan and a dreamer.

Ok so here are my answers
1. Yes
2. Translucent greenish/yellow skull with 3D eyes.

[snoopy]

1. Yes
2. Army green "body", black face, yellow/golden eyes - Would call him "Sergeant Clack" 

[whiskerBox]

1. Yes

Awesome!

[Halverson]

1-Maybe
2-hippy tye-dye

[esoomenona]

1 - No
2 - More multi-color things that aren't skulls or other new things that aren't skulls. Also, more WASD/Arrow clusters. Or like an entire number row and Backspace and tilde. A RGB mod set! A keyboard case.

ClickClack, can you make me a keyboard case? ^_____^

[tjcaustin]

1. No.

[DanGWanG]

1. Absolutely
2. A "Penny" Keycap to commemorate my dog who recently passed =)

[esoomenona]

1. Yes
2. A moose cap!

Dan, what kind of dog was s/he?

[DanGWanG]

1. Yes
2. A moose cap!

Dan, what kind of dog was s/he?

A beautiful American Eskimo!  She lived for 17 years and 2 months

[esoomenona]

And a cute thing it was! I miss my dog...

1. No

You can buy all the materials to make yourself an army of clacks for sub-$100 :/

I saw part of your video making this mold thing, is there a thread on it?

As for my answer:

1. No (cost too much)
2. A bomb like in my avatar

[esoomenona]

CC should make a tsangan shoecap collection.

[alaricljs]

Dan, cute dog once I found it amidst the fluff I first perceived as some white fluffy confection with chocolate sprinkled on it.

1) Nope... that's not enough money for a one off to be fair to the artisan.

[epicsilas]

1. Yes!
2. A flat off white/bone color skull with black eyes and a matching blank wasd and arrow key set.

Speaking of custom CCs, does anyone have pictures of those custom bunny keys that CC had in a gallery thread or something pre-r00tworm?

[razorsharpgears]

1. Yes
2. A German Flag KeyCap

[esoomenona]

Isn't that what the Oktoberfest is? I kid.

No thread in particular, but check out this Alumilite How To website, they have plenty of videos on casting your own parts, they make it look too easy

[asura]

I probably won't buy any ClackClack keycap, I'm more plain style and less ornament.  Though for a one off, the price isn't out of the way... perhaps a hot coal and ice cube pair? 

[razorsharpgears]

Isn't that what the Oktoberfest is? I kid.

Haha, maybe a Julysicle with German Flag Colors-

[snoopy]

if you change the white in the candycorn to black, you already have it

I must tell you that I made some molds and keycaps about a year ago and it was a pain in the ass. There were many mess ups before I got to an acceptable product. The stuff makes a freaking mess as well. Also after about a year with one of my keys it has been slightly discolored from use.

We have had many DIY threads regarding this, but to be honest I don't think anyone has come close to matching CC's quality (materials/art). I can't comment on brobots cause I don't have one yet, but they look pretty damn good too.

[SmallFry]

1. No, I can't afford it.
2. If I could, I would love a Cherry Profile, in translucent red, since its my favorite color:)

Oh man a cherry profile CC would be nice!

I think anyone on these forums who have made keycaps (boost, CC, MMB, and loottttssss of other people) would say it's not particularly easy...or fast lol

[CPTBadAss]

1) No
2) I just want a Salute or a Mr. Friday. I'm a simple man with simple needs ^_^

Hey that's a cool idea! Call it the autobahn or something.

[phetto]

Yes.
It would be a turtle keycap.

[oluf]

Not me... I would rather buy some nice full sets.

[fuus]

If CC took custom orders we'd all be bust! 

[Batmann]

1. No

You can buy all the materials to make yourself an army of clacks for sub-$100 :/

To produce sthg decent and bubble free you need at least a compressor and a pressure pot and all the raw material (silicon,resin...) ... Around 250 bucks if you are cheap, it does still worth it if you are creative imho

I would love to know how to do this.
Eventually I'd like to also know how to do metal casting (for like jewlery), metal working (sculpture), and blacksmithing (SWORDS). There was a really cool video some google employee posted which has made me realize blacksmithing is probably the least likely of those skills for me to learn. It would be such a huge time investment.

[reverkiller]

I could never afford it. If I could, I'd love to get a sculpted capital sigma rising out. For some reason, I've always loved that greek letter.

[missalaire]

Nope, would rather buy a large set of key caps or more keyboards.

[keymaster]

This.

Some of these clacks sell for $100? I'd much rather buy a new keyboard or a set (or two) of keycaps.

[noisyturtle]

Cthulhu cap here I come! Dream finally realized... wait, am I dreaming?

[NikoGasm]

1. No. Way too much money for a single key. Maybe if it was like titanium or something. I'd probably pay a lot for a solid titanium CC.
2. If I were to do it, I'd want a flat black key, with gold accents. Like only certain features of the skull would be highlighted in a metallic gold.

[damorgue]

Cthulhu cap here I come! Dream finally realized... wait, am I dreaming?

Maaan, there have been a lot of people asking about a cthulu cap. Is there some secret underground cult around here that is about to take over GH or something?

What makes you think they haven't already?

[alaricljs]

So what would stand out more, erasing Niko's post, or not?

That actually made me laugh for a good few minutes.

1. Yes
2. Hopefully something like the Wingnut CCs.  See

sheep....


answer: NO

Sheep or not, they look freakin cool. Plus, one would only be considered a CC-Sheep if they did not genuinely like the caps yet still collected them to fit in with the craze.

That or you're bitter that you don't have any.  )

I was confused while reading this and thought you meant you wanted a CC-Sheep keycap.
