Hey, Does anyone know if the kosmonaut sculpt (the collab between booper and keykolecitv) are still being made, it doesn't seem like it but just want to double check cause they look so cool

https://keycap-archivist.com/maker/booper-omniclectic/booper-x-kk-kosmonavt-reissue/
(Just gonna link the reissue on keycap archivist because it seems more recent)



No, they are not, unfortunately. KeyKollectiv has not been active for many years. The Re-issue sale happened in 2017.

Ah that's a shame, thanks for helping anyway. Do you have an estimate of the cost of the caps aftermarket? and how often do they show up?. May look towards getting my favourite colourways.

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.

They don't show up too often just because it's been long, but there are a good number around. I'd aim for the ~$200 ballpark and not go too far up from there. Good luck!

Orlan! My first time seeing this sculpt IRL, very clean details in an awesome colorway.

Very cool, I have my first cosmonaut coming in soon. It was the buzz lightyear sale that happened and I managed to get in there. It's says production ends mid october, considering aus shipping times It might come around my birthday which would be extra sweet.

Boopz Lightyear and Hack'd Cosmonaut V2. Such a great sculpt, and geekhack clws are always good. Would like to go for the rest of the set but especially that colonel is rough (which makes me jelly of the pic ankit sent)
