[FS] Hack Orange MX Skull...with a twist
« on: Tue, 01 October 2013, 17:30:07 »
Since my Hack Orange clack isn't really helping me get closer to the Hardcore White, Octopink, Tickle Me Pink Clacks I've been looking for, I decided to do something nice to help someone who wants a Clack but doesn't really have the money for it due to the massive price inflation that goes on with them.  So here's the deal, unlike other sales, this is a fixed price sale where I ultimately choose the person who gets it.  I'm doing this because I want the Clack to go to someone who can appreciate and use it and not just toss it on a shelf, in a box, or on a keyboard that's never used and rarely looked at.  The rules are as follows:

1.  The Clack is $30 shipped US First Class bubble mailer within the US, payment as Paypal gift (friends and family).  Outside the US will have additional shipping fees.  I am taking a loss on this pricing, but I want it to go to someone who can appreciate it.

2.  You cannot own any Clacks already.  I may make an exception for those of you with 4:20 Clacks, but I'd like it to go to someone without any at all.  Sorry for those of you out there who would like a HO, but I really want this to go to someone who has yet to hold a Clack and can appreciate it.

3.  Tell me why you deserve or want the Clack.  This can include showing pictures of what you might use it with and so on.  I know, for example, it could look great with the upcoming SmallFry memorial set.

4.  You cannot resell the Clack for a profit.  If you decide you don't like it, you can trade it or sell it for $30 shipped, but you cannot sell it for more.  I know this is hard to enforce, but I want this to go to someone who can appreciate it, not someone looking to take advantage and flip it.

5.  This closes on the 8th of October at 10PM PST.  I will contact the person who gets it at that point.

Good luck to everyone and I hope that whoever eventually gets it enjoys it.

As someone who has been trying to get a Topre clack for a while, I appreciate what you're doing for the community. That's awesome!

Thank you for doing this!  Very kind of you, and someone will be very happy thanks to it.  :)

I guess I'll start.  I don't own any clacks and I never have because it's just never worked out.  If I could find one for close to retail (like this) I would definitely buy it, but then so would everyone else.  So anyway, I've been patiently waiting, hoping to get lucky somehow, and that hasn't happened.  I'm sure there are people more deserving of this than me though, so I won't write a super detailed post. 
I'm interested, I don't have a clack, and I know I would appreciate it.  That's all I've got to say.

Good luck to everyone else who tries to get this!

It's not easy, but I'm hoping people will be honest about it and keep each other honest.

How is that even possible?  You're the spam man!

Hope I get selected :)

Remember, to be eligible, you can't own any Clacks and you have to give some blurb about why you deserve it/want it, including, if you'd like, what you'd use it with.

This is really cool that you're doing to help out those without clacks, and I'd definitely want to get this thing. I've been interested in mechanical keyboards for a few months now, and I obtained my first board on Friday the 13th (so unlucky man), of September. Prior to that, I started hanging around the forums, and got hooked instantly. I originally planned on just asking for some help choosing a keyboard, then probably never show up again. But the community was so vibrant and helpful that I decided to stick around. I've been around here for a month now and my knowledge of keyboards has greatly improved from when I started and it's most likely due to the people on geekhack that have basically helped me out from the start. After seeing pictures of other peoples' keyboards, I started noticing the keyboards less, and the key caps more. I now currently own a Binge Cap, and have a Keypop smile sent currently on the way to me. Little by little I hope to increase my collection of novelty caps. I never thought that people would decorate their keyboards, and it was really cool to see what people had. There was one thing that I noticed the most though, and they were those little skulls. I ended up learning about Click Clacks from some people on irc, as well as from some others in a thread I had posted about them. After finding out that the majority of those with CCs were only willing to trade, and that the ones for sale were extremely out of my price range, I gave up. I still hope to get myself a CC to call my own, and maybe it'll be right here in this thread, we will just have to see :) If I do get it, I will probably put it on my only board at the moment, which is my QFR. Good luck to everyone else hoping to win this bad boy. Obligatory current picture of QFR:

TL;DR: I'm relatively new, got a board, [insert summary of my time on GH], CCs are hard to get, GL to everyone else.

Nice twist. I shall partake...

I'll be honest, I have owned two CC keys in the past, a Pink 4:20 MX and Topre Oktoberfest. I have never owned a CC skull before.

Both of my previous CCs are no longer in my possession, as I had to sell them due to becoming unemployed for an unfortunate length of time. But now that I am now employed again (yay!) I would very much like to become a Clack owner once again. Link to my old auction thread.

Why do I think I deserve this HO? I am very much a man of my word, and would not dream of reselling it for profit (not like anyone here will vouch for me, but it's still worth mentioning). Also, I currently own a whole three MX boards, all of which are in use (one I let my brother use, the other two I use: one for work and one for home). So this CC would not be placed in storage in a box somewhere, only to be bragged about on these forums. If I am chosen, I shall proudly display it on my work keyboard till the end of October, then it shall become the permanent "Esc" key for my home keyboard.

Good luck to all participants. No matter who wins, I am quite sure it will be a well-deserved victory.

Alright, I'll play :D

I bleed literally ORANGE. Attended the great school of Oregon State, where we live and breath the bright & beautiful ORANGE.

Random: here's my girlfriend's stuffed animal sheep wearing orange beaver gloves (don't ask why), bundled in an orange OSU blanket (again, don't ask why), watching the Oregon State NCAA bowl game last year....

My only personal keyboard is sporting ORANGE on charcoal keycap (HO CC would match nicely no?), with ORANGE LED mod pending...



HO is the only CC I've ever pursued (can check my classified, some of the reply subjects still have the WTB HO CC) but had to give it up due to some of the ludicrous asking prices.

Well, I can't promise any grand plans for the HO CC but I promise to love and cherish it forever. Cheers

I wanted one of these clacks since i joined geekhack. I really like the white version. I would put this one on my quick fire rapid that i bought a few months ago or a filco keyboard eventually since i still plan on buying one . I would not just let this one sit in a box , i would use and appreciate it everyday,

Anyway that's all for me,
Good luck everyone.

(Forgive my non native English!)

He thought that after crossing the Tsangan river, nothing would be so
tiresome. He was wrong.

The sight of that amazing pyramid, with steps 50 meters high, of the
most beautiful colors made him feel small and hopeless. Forming a
magnificent skull, the pyramid was the house of the Great Clack
Patriarch, the interpret of the amazing Click Clack, the one and holy
Maker.

He looked up and begun his climb.

Each step took considerable energy to conquer. The blue and red colors
made him tired, hypnotized him. They whispered to him to go back and
just enjoy the colors. He resisted their urge.

He got to the top.

There, sited on the blackest of tones, sat the Patriarch.

"I see you have surpassed the challenges to get here," he said.

"Yes. I traveled many days and waited a long time for this
opportunity."

"And what is that you seek coming here, child?"

"Your wisdom. I want to acquire my first clack, your holiness."

"Ahhh... I see." He paused for a long while. "Do you think yourself as
worthy of a clack?"

"I honestly don't know." The man looked insecure. "I have been trying
my best to be useful to the community, and help when I can, in the
ways that I can. Not that matters, as it seems the Clack gods have not
seen me fit, and so far I haven't been able to acquire one."

The old man gazed at him. "What would you do, were you to get one?"

"I would treasure it, your holiness. I'd remember it forever as my
first, and never forget the hardships that I had to go to acquire it."

"I see," the wise man whispered. "Go now."

With that a monstrous wind blew the man from the pyramid. He flew and
started to fall...

He suddenly woke up, scared from the dream. He though how amazing it
was the keyboard key caps could inspire such funny dreams. He lied
down again. However, he felt a lump under his pillow.

He took the small square into his closed hand. Afraid to look at what
was inside, thinking how could that be possible. He opened his hand and...

With this my QPad MK50 would finally have a decent Escape-Key ;) (I know, I know, iOne flame incoming)
I got a Grab bag from a local forum member in Germany a few weeks ago, and finally was able to replace every keycap with a non-standard one. It was a grab bag though, so I have basically keys from maybe 13 different sets on my keyboard now, and it's probably the most mixed and random keyboard you have ever seen. :D



This pic is from when I just got the bags, it looks a bit different now, I will take a decent photo tomorrow ;) (1.30 am here now).
The KB is not just a keycap-holder, but really the only "modern" mechanical I own and my daily driver on my PC. I have a lot of old Cherries laying around, but usually I'm using the QPad. And I really enjoy having such a flipped out combo on it. ^^ It's also because I can't really afford buying 100$ keycap sets or a brand new Filco every month, and despite some Vintage Cherry 2Shots I got from those 10€ ebay sales I never bought a keycap set. So this is kinda the ghetto solution to keycap madness xD
I just couldn't find a proper ESC key yet, they are all in the wrong profile or just boring. Right now I have a blank white DSA cap on there. Your clack would really make a nice addition to the KB - something special and even valuable, something to be proud of. ;) Disadvantages: You'd have to ship it to Germany which probably costs you a fortune.

Just wanted to tell you how awesome I think you are for doing this. I've never owned any clacks and only recently began to understand the craze that everyone has for them, despite having been a (closet) mech enthusiast for many years now. I see many others who I honestly believe would cherish this clack far more than me, so I'm personally staying out of this sale. Good luck to all those trying for this gorgeous keycap!

Throwing my name into the ring, always been dead keen on a clack but we get the short end of the stick with the clack sales due to time zones :)

Good luck everyone!
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Nevertheless, nice one : )





Here's why I "deserve" the clack. I've always wanted a clack ever since I saw one. I think one of the images on a local forum(in Malaysia) with the clack has led me to the discovery of geekhack. Simply, I find clacks really special in it's own ways. I've never had the chance of purchasing one. Prolly cause of the timezone or maybe these clacks were sold way before I discover geekhack. So this is prolly my chance to own a clack. "fingers crossed"


Good luck to the other entrants as well. May the best entry wins  :)

Ever since I found out what clacks were, I made them one of my long term goals for keyboards. They are really sexy, and different from regular novelty caps. They have character and feeling to them.

I don't have a mech yet, but my keycool 84 is being shipped from banggood (OMFG shipping is so long), and I would love to adorn it with a clack, killing two goals with one clack.


If I don't win this, I hope I win the EK clack, or perhaps learn how to mold and create my own custom keycaps.






And thus starts the crippling addiction that ended Pacifist through death by clacks


EDIT: I just realized nubbinator lives in Orange County. I live in San Diego, what a small world.

I'd like to put myself in for contention as well.

I'm fairly new to GH, as a profile view and such can attest. I have never owned any type of CC, and was quite mystified as to the significance of such caps when I first arrived. In full disclosure, most of them don't really pique my interest. However, if I were to desire/acquire any, it would be Hack Orange or Hardcore White.

I don't believe I deserve the clack anymore than anyone else here, and especially not more than more senior members, and who have been around/contributed to this community. Given this offer by nubbinator, I have a chance, if however small, of acquiring something quite unique and it will be treated as such as I plan to stay and contribute to this community.

As for what I might put it with, I only have the one board, but am in the market and will be acquiring/building/customizing a couple more in the near future, and it will become part of those future projects.

All that said though,  :thumb: to longzilla's post :)

This is an amazing Gesture Nub. I really hope someone who doesn't genuinely have one gets this. (like me :P)  I've been hunting for one of these for a while but it's so hard to explain the cost to my girlfriend. I'll be honest that I don't even own a mechanical at the moment (saving up for the Ducky Shine 3, I'm close!!). I'd put this to good use and  I know I could find room in there for this beauty. This is not a slight to anyone else out there as I know many of you other kind geek hackers have sold some Clacks at Clack Factory cost but I wish I saw more of this. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face and restoring some of my faith in humanity. If I win this at $30 Nub I'd like you to drill a hole through the back like Clack does on ones of lesser quality. You'd know for sure it couldn't be sold at a jacked up price. I'd never get rid of this, that's for sure.

I would be all over this if it was a Topre. I've been trying to get one at a reasonable price for a while now for my HHKB that I use daily for work.

Good luck to you MX people out there. While it would look great on my Poker II on my recreation computer, it just wouldn't look great with my blue/grey PBT set that Halverson hooked me up with.

As I have no sets that this would match, I am not in (even though I really want a clack). 

Just wanted to say how awesome it is for you to be letting this go at cost.  Good luck to all involved at getting your first clack.   :thumb:

3. My wife of 22 years left me last week for the shift manager of the local Applebee's Chad Thunderfist, because, and I quote "You make love like a little boy who is actually just a damp dish towel, and Chad has a timeshare in Van Nuys and a sweet motorcycle. Also I am taking the children with me and you will never see them again, but it doesn't matter because they are actually your brother's kids from when I cheated on you at our reception dinner in the back of his '96 Pontiac Firebird. Also, you pee like a girl and smell vaguely like onions."

A few days ago I also found out I have a rare diseases that causes me to reverse defecate so I haven't eaten for 48hrs for fear of the consequences. Yesterday my goldfish drowned, and I am developing a bald spot on the back of my head in the shape of a gorilla's penis.
Getting this clack would surely turn my life around, for I heard from a sacred Tibetan mystic that they hold mysterious healing powers and bring great fortune!

I'd definitely like to put my name in the hat for this!

I got started on mechanicals when I picked up an ABS M1 from Newegg. I think I stumbled across geekhack almost two years ago when I was searching for information on the 'coveted' Samsung/Qsenn DT-35 rubberdome keyboard, and got sucked into the wallethacking.

In May, I ordered my first Korean custom from Kailet (a very nice guy by the way) - a 2TU. Unfortunately it's not here just yet, but it's going to be a beauty with some Orange switch stickers, red + a pair of white LEDs, and an aluminum/polycarbonate housing. However, the only question left is caps.

I didn't really understand why the clacks were so coveted, but then I applied for the EK Midnight Owl raffle and saw that only six MX and six Topre are available each drawing! (I will retract my entry should that go favorably)

tl:dr - I'm looking for something to really make my first Korean custom pop, and an orange clack to match would certainly be a great start!
