Title, basically.
Let's celebrate!

Exactly a decade ago a user with the palindrome name Muirium registered on Deskthority.net. Since, he humors us, shows his affection for the minuscule My and recently even cleans up this place he seemingly has grown fond of.
To mark the step towards his first decade of membership in this exclusive club I present to you a small token of appreciation in the hopes to delight Muirium and all bystanders and invite you to follow my lead:

Aestheticly pleasing "M" keycap of a German keyboard. Note the elegant long descender of the μ. The ABS yellowing is prominent but not intrusive and beatifully even. And yes, of course this is vintage high quality double-shot MX-mount in stylish DCS'ish profile

Lovely caps, folks. Ironically, I’m a little short of such µs myself. German layouts have all the luck!

The only IBM Mµ cap ever sent my way went missing in bloody transit. :roll:

Anyway, ten years, huh? Feels about right. ;)

Great, I have 3 orders being shipped with Royal Mail, being 20 days late at this point, this bodes well for me :D

Congratulations Muirium ! - surprised to learn that I have been here a year and a half longer than you.

I wish that I had a mu cap, but I am almost exclusively an IBM user and those are almost as rare as would be Alps or Space Invaders, my other preferred switches.

Congrats!

Seemingly the only mu cap in my collection which so happens to be on a very special Micro Switch board.

Wait, that’s no µ!

I’ll have to rummage through my pretty obsessive Granite set to see if I even have one. Ten years is long enough to lose track a bit. :lol:

The Micro Switch cap is actually my own favourite µ shape. Looks the most like Helvetica! Cherry’s is quite in keeping with their own classic legend style (yes I want one in dyesub!), and Shorle’s unidentified µ is easily recognisable as a quirky soul which seems quite apt here. :D

@Fohat: Even I consider you an old timer. You and Kbdfr are the grownups around here.
