Can I join the club if I don't have a case?
I bought a bundle of various things and unbeknownst to me, the seller included an SSK without case, or key caps. I'm cash poor now, but I hope to find it a case someday.

That's a great way to put it! I was shocked when I opened the box to find it.Muirium wrote:A naked SSK? What a stowaway!

That's because when it comes to blank colored caps, they are operating from old stock.

They print the blank ones on demand. But the blank ones they aren't capable of reproducing, probably because it's too expensive.

Can't believe that they are more expensive than from other manufacturers.
If they still have the tools that should be no problem.
ps: use a polarizer or a thinkpad.

I agree. The combination of the SSK case with the blank caps is just mouth watering. Really nice board webwit.ne0phyte wrote:My desire to get one skyrocketed after seeing those blank caps D:
