First off, I like to start posts with a little backstory as to why I am starting them in the first place. I do it to help people reading to have a full understanding of my situation. So if you want to skip that then just jump to the last big paragraph.
Alright, I have lurked here for a very long time. Been a member for a while and got a seriously bad case of keyboard mania a couple years back. Luckily, once I bought my Realforce I was cured and since then I have not been much more than just a little curious about new keyboards. I know I won't ever love another keyboard like I do my Realforce, but I do still like trying new ones out every once in a while.
In the whole time I have been here I have always kept an eye out for a skull keycap that is red and black. I want these colors because my entire computer is put together with a red and black theme. Not only that but by either pure luck or destiny, products that have been released that are literally EXACTLY what I was looking for in that specific product (I sometimes do weeks of research to make sure I buy exactly what I want) turned out to be colored red and black. So I have really grown to love my computer. It is very special to me due to it being so nearly perfect and me being so lucky with the colors. Now I would like to add one final piece to my beloved Topre board to complete my setup. Right now I have a red Esc key that isn't special in any way to me. It isn't unique nor does it have much of a personality. It is a common thing on keyboards among enthusiasts so while it does look very nice with my computer theme, I want something that looks nice while also being very unique. Thus, defining it as my very own keyboard and making it as one of a kind as I am.
I have never owned nor personally seen a skull keycap, I'm not a huge collector, and I don't try to flip CCs for money, but I have always wanted to have just one. I feel that no keyboard enthusiast's hobby is complete without at least one novelty keycap that is special to the individual for whatever reason. Not just any novelty keycap will do for me, however. Like the rest of my setup I want the perfect piece to fit in the puzzle, the last piece to complete it if you will.
Like I stated before I am looking for a Night Owl Clack Factory Skull Keycap. That is the exact keycap I have been looking for. Mostly black with a touch of red, like the rest of my computer. While Night Owl is a great keycap (and the perfect one for me), I am also interested in the Jack O' Topre keycap or any other that is both black and red; so long as it is mostly black with red detail/accents. If there is a third color I would prefer if it was similar to the Jack O' Topre keycap in that the third color is less prominent than the red which is less prominent than the black.
I am not looking for a charity donation and I will pay for the keycap of course. This is probably one of the last (if not the last) keyboard purchases I will make. I do not mind spending a lot on the Night Owl cap as it is truly the perfect keycap for me. I guarantee you the best price.
PM me if you are willing to sell and thanks for reading!

Well if you were wondering how my computer setup looks here is a list of what I have. I don't think that many people, if any, really care about this but I wanted to list them here just in case. I included links to pictures for those of you who may not know what all these products look like. Plus, I look for excuses to type more on my Topre wherever I can.
Case: HAF-X w/red LED fans (very "ricey" I know, but I love it and the airflow is amazing for overclocking over air or water!)
Not mine, but it looks the same.Monitor: BenQ XL2420T (ultra-fast response time, nearly zero input lag, 120Hz buttery goodness, and black and red of course!)
PicMouse: Zowie AM (the perfect sensor, the perfect shape, the perfect colors!)
PicMousepad: Artisan Hayate (wasn't worried about finding a black mousepad, but this one has what matters, the perfect glide!)
PicKeyboard: Realforce 87U 45g (Not just a normal 87U 45g with the amazing feel of Topre at the perfect uniform weight for me, but the EK edition 87U. Thanks to Elite Keyboards, even the LEDs for the caps lock and the num lock on this keyboard are red, along with a red Esc key he sends with the keyboard!)
