Rm699 is around us$220. Not a bad price because buying RF is around that price. Question is the quality as compared to RF. On the other hand, I bought my RF 55g NIB for just $180. But have to add $40 shipping

Actually yes.
I have a Unconsicous and F2 Red skull on its way. This is from a trade of Revenge Red buckling spring and OOC Orange Brobot. I also have a Summer Set Brobot MX on its way. Also from a trade. And a Jawless Lit Purple from a giveaway I won. And finally a Dolly which I manage to get into a sale. Exciting times!! |

QUOTE(joonwei23 @ Sep 10 2014, 03:11 PM) holy moly. thought you were just getting topre clacks and bros I am. My priority is still Topre CC and BB.. but now, I kinda like KBK Mummy 2. So, perhaps that's what I will collect. Again, retail only these days. No more aftermarket stuff. But I kinda like the Dollies. They are fun. CC and BB are serious stuff. Useful in a work keyboard. But at home, depend on mood, the Dollies can really cheer things up. The MX Summer set was a good trade that I couldn't resist. Hope that I can then trade the MX BB for Topre BB  |

QUOTE(zennasyndroxx @ Sep 10 2014, 04:01 PM) No love for imsto? I don't like too many varieties. I don't want to have a rojak collection. That's why I focus on CC and BB. Looks like I have to add Mummy now. Sigh. |

Most brocaps purchased from Brocaps sales or raffles. CC - I have only been successful in one sales which net me two skulls. The rest I usually trade if I can. If not I purchase from other people whichis at killer prices and I am not going to do that anymore. The two CC above are from trades.

QUOTE(0168257061 @ Sep 11 2014, 03:16 PM) belfong, yes, but not for cash. I am looking to trade for CC in Topre.are you interested to let go or ur R4 spherical ? Also, I have ordered the extra R4 keys in the R5 group buy. I am sure you know some of the R4 mods are shorter, so this Fix kit is in R5. Anyone who takes the R4 set will get the same Fix kit when R5 ships to me. So net is, interested to let go but for trade, bro. |

QUOTE(schokolade @ Sep 10 2014, 08:27 PM) well in some ways i was already poisoned...got myself 3 gasmask keycaps and 1 colored topre fn key . it should arrive in 2 weeks time! Oh.. hmm.. that's a dangerous dark path you are walking there, brother. Watch your wallet I, too started with Gasmask. Then I move to BB, then CC, then decided I don't want too many variants and designed and sold off the Gas Masks. But BB and CC cost so much more.. so it is a dark, expensive path. I have since seen the light. Going retail now. So I will be very, very patient! |

I don't have any Gasmask any longer
And no, I guard the CC fiercely! Besides, I doubt you have any use for a Topre CC.. |

QUOTE(schokolade @ Sep 11 2014, 09:37 PM) How can u say that....i love Cc too u know. Besides, if i own at least 1, it would definately benefit me to one day make one keycap to share with everyone here. Besides thats what product designers like me aspire to do. I like their approach, if you learn to close one eye about their price in the trading market; their designs has been nothing other than a brilliant marketing scheme. Having to capture interest from veteran forumers from geekhack and deskthrity has boosted Cc's business into the no1 artisan keycap gimmick. Theres no doubt anybody can do like what they did, but he was one of the first keycap makers that follow the color chart and handcrafted them with a good story to tell, as well as his web of riddles into how to earn one of his masterpieces which has captured the eyes of keyboard enthusiasts around the globe. Genius. If i were him i would retain the same style of business until one day he decides to create another line. I dont know about you but i think people from bb or other keycap makers are still catching up to what cc has done. I admire your talent in making key caps. That's really awesome  but please don't be like the Viet Nam guy who just outright copied CC skull. And call it scull. If it's outright copying, you are just not giving your talent the recognition and credit it deserved, and instead, you will be condemned by the community. So, don't do that. Create your own design. You are absolutely right, the hype surrounding the CC and BB are all marketing hype. And it was fun to be in the hype in GH. HipsterPunks, the maker of KBK Mummy 2, probably need a marketing expert like Bunny Lake to help hype his work too. |

Matias is good. I love it. And you can buy online at matias.ca and shipping is just us$15 to Malaysia. Why is shipping cheap, you ask? Coz they ship direct from their factory in Taiwan. You can try and check out the shipping!
