A brief reflection and look at how far our community has come since joining. I’ve been in the mechanical keyboard hobby for a very long time. It started as a high school student’s search for a keyboard for writing novels back in the 2008-2009 school year. I thought I wanted to be an author and I felt I needed a keyboard that I could sit down to at my desk and just write. After researching, joining forums, and saving money, I made my first purchase in the hobby, a blank black Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2. I still own this keyboard and while it is heavily modded now, it remains one of my all-time favorites. My HHKB Pro2 with MitchCapped Accents Many people would have stopped there, but keyboards became a hobby. I enjoyed learning about them, and early on, I enjoyed hunting for them in thrift shops. I would dig through bins at Goodwill and Salvation Army while popping keycaps off with paperclips looking for mechanical switches. I searched for a birthday Model M...

Note that we'll only allow 2 kits per user to start. Based on demand, I'll start opening up more kits per user starting in the afternoon on 1/26. We hope this will be a good one!
EDIT: https://www.massdrop.com/talk/3161/keycap-re-cap-returns Link to what to expect!
1/26/18 EDIT: Going to open the drop up for two additional kits per user at 12:00 PT. Meaning each of you can grab up to 4 kits here! It's open now for 4 items per order, go for it!
Going to open this up for 1 additional kit at 5:00pm PT. This means each of you will be able to grab up to 5 things.
1/29/18 EDIT: Going to open up 2 more kits per order at 3:00 PM PT today.
Geez, it's almost like we are customers or something.
I'll edit the sticky message so people know what to expect.
One suggestion would be to do the order swap over the weekend at night when there is less activity on the page. That should allow you to cancel from one order and grab it on the other.
Yeah the prior comments were leftovers from the last run - I'll start editing those out so people know it doesn't apply anymore.
In other news, anyone selling a set of Amazing Chocolatier modifiers? :D
We are selling things we already have in inventory - so once sold out it will be gone :(
I'll make an edit on top as well!
The 2/9 date is to give our warehouse enough time to gather up each of the order and get it ready and packed out- there are quite a few orders for this drop alone too!
If you're trying to juggle between accounts/orders, just add some item to the list to keep the order open and always cancel that one last. I found the cancel order was a bit slow to time out and add it to the list and other times removing an item from an order wouldn't populate to the master list but the original account could see/add it only.
Odd stuff, it's a bit annoying when you have these recaps and you need 5+ sets in order to cover your keyboard. It's a lot easier with the TKL packages. I was bummed, wasn't quick enough to get the SA Godspeed Cockpit this time around.
I was able to merge one of my Yuri base set to my Yuri Ergodox set order. At 3am west coast time 2-3 days ago someone was moving 7 Yuri base kits! So I ended off piggy backed on that person being there were many available at that time. I was hoping that person or another person would move or drop a bunch of Yuri novelties so that I could complete my merging.
It would be a dream to have a “Combine order” or “Merge Order” button. This would be ideal because of limit restrictions.
