Misplaced keycaps
« on: Mon, 13 October 2014, 16:37:28 »
There's nothing worse than, when cleaning/photographing/prepping a set for sale, you discover that there's one keycap missing.
Just one cap, and now it's unsellable.

I just don't know what went wrong  :confused:

If today had been a hippo, then you'd really have to worry about tomorrow.

Exactly!

It is the F5 key, and I only use 60% boards, and I don't recall ever checking for it, but...
It's for my Macross/Scull Squadron DSA set.

Oh, I hope I'm just blind.

Or sell it (with full disclosure) to someone who just needs it for a 60%? You'd obviously have to discount it quite a bit, though.

I'm sure many would be happy with just the 60% part.

SP has amazing support! I emailed them asking if it's possible to order a new one when I realized that my granite set from the group buy six or so months ago had a missing question mark. I stored them away and waited until the day I got a Poker. Since it was my first keyset I assumed that the whole set was complete.
Next day, they emailed me saying that they had a spare and shipped me a new one! :D
