Hard to say.

Looks real.

I have not seen a fake ogre before.

Though I am no expert on clacks.

It looks real to me. It's an image, though, so I can't tell if it's a drawing or real.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. 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

Are we allowed to discuss prices in the open here. If so does $1-5-0 seem like a good bargain in your opinion? it does have a chip after all?

Yes, we are free.

That is a good price these days imo. Some people may say the chip is an issue, but it wouldn't bother me. I mean, it's on the bottom side. Without it, perhaps the cap would be worth $200.

For what its worth, one of my CLACKVENT caps came in with a chip on the backside.

So yea it happens time to time, but your clack looks legit.

$150 isn't too bad a price, but it's hard to call it a bargain

I had a freak chip on a Miz Kite a little less bad than that. I used my trusty keypuller I always use on artisans and regular caps, and the thing just chipped a tiny bit anyhow. Prob just a small imperfection. No big deal, especially in that location.

I don't know why mindoculus started it at $200. Makes no sense. Start it at $1 and it prolly would have gotten near $200.

It looked like it was sculpted and was made of wax though. I don't think it had the letter markings on the clack copy bottom
