    You say you don't care, but you still think rubber dome boards suck?

    Clearly you do, just because you're not obsessed anymore doesn't mean you don't care.
    I haven't spent money on keyboard in months, and have been using the same keyboard setup in all that time.

    Yes you are right, I do still care but not anywhere near as much as I did a few months ago!

    That's fair enough - every hobby has phases of love. The important thing is not to get rid of the things you really love so next time you miss them!

    I'd agree fully with this - some hobbies may seem to completely lose interest for a while but it's never really gone!

    On another note Krikkit - I'm just making some final decisions about what I want from techkeys and I'll PM you in a little while (well before 12 though!)

    Edit: Also, probably a long shot, but does anyone have some clear switches or know where I can get hold of some? I'd need enough for a poker - I fancy giving ergo-clears a try.

    Edit 2: That'd obviously be 61 clear switches :p

    Edit 3: Obviously I'd only need the stems rather than the whole switches... I promise this is my last edit!

    Ooh - may have sourced some clear stems :D Other suggestions / offers greatly received :thumb: Out of interest, how much should I be paying for stems?

    I know posting a new post after my previous one is bad threadtiquette, however this is worth it (and apologies for the phone photos):

    [​IMG]

    Imagine I had posted that a month ago - over $3500 of keycaps! Also - compare the thickness with a 'normal' doubleshot

    *drools*

    :D PM's incoming to all who ordered some!

    Tinlong should be sending out the invoices later today! Can't wait to have 2 more Pokers to mod over christmas! Doing on in ghetto reds, haven't decided on the other. Either clears, browns, greys or ergo clears. Still waiting for my test switches to arrive from The_Ed, it's been a little long now.

    I'm keen to give ergo clears a try - in actual fact I'm waiting to hear back from a chap on GH about some clear stems... I don't think I could cope with clears - stiffer springs than blacks!

    First lot of Esc keys will be in the post this morning!

    Actually some of what Krikkit wants is out of stock so I might be placing an order instead - PM me what you want and if Krikkit does place the order I'll pass it on to him :thumb:

    Edit: You are talking about stuff from techkeys right?

    Thanks for that. :)

    You'd think that making a key with a clear/translucent legend would be a fairly straighforward process for doubleshot manufacturers, no?
