Link is working again, just ordered a bag.

I was wondering if it was temporarily down since they sent out a couple emails advertising them again today, although oddly enough the emails have no links to the website....

Well I sent them an email asking if they were sold out, then two minutes later the link was back up.

And I got a response to my email as I was typing this post. Good job SP, very pleased with your quick fix/response.

Got a bag. I will split with a friend. Hopefully, there's some nice caps in there! GLTA!

Ironically my order confirmation and shipping information emails came interspersed between the crap bag announcement emails :))

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

Oh god, I just got one.  My first purchase since joining GeekHack, and it's 2.5lbs of random KeyCaps.  I need to delete my account....

Some of my best purchases on GH were impulse buys and some of my worst ones were thought out over a period of months.  Don't worry about it.

You could get lucky and find yourself with a keycap that you cannot get by any normal affordable means.

Are they all gone? I was actually going to buy a bag this time, but the link is dead.  :(

Anything you were looking for?

Nothing in particular, was just hoping to replenish my dwindling collection of caps.

What did you do to yours? Eat them or something? From my experience, keycaps only increase in population; any decreases are very, very temporarily.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.
