Title: Keyboard of the Month - March - Vote
Post by: katushkin on Mon, 06 April 2020, 14:03:18
Hello all, hope we are keeping well. Returning to normal service, we have a slightly delayed March Keyboard of the Month poll.

Thanks to richfiles, we do not have three Korean customs for you to choose from, but two KCs and a split board too.

Our nominees are:

LigtningXI's Koala

Ramnes' KMAC LE

Songcq's Butterfly

As always the vote will last for seven days! Good luck!

Hah, I probably would have to concede to the more detail-focused KMAC or Butterfly, but I appreciate y'all's appreciation for my build! =)

No legends where they would surely be helpful or lots where they aren't really needed...

Also i guess with only 38 keys, it'd be impossible to get keys with the right legends on for all the mapping. Probably easier to just remember the layout.

The consistent look is appealing, I've still never tried a sensible sized board full (JD40 is blank but doesn't get much use)  Should get some and do Colemak properly.

Looks like uniform keycaps so DSA with legends for the third layer would probably be my choice - remembering two layers is enough of a challenge :))

koala has my vote as they have the closest to a vintage board I can see on here and I am an IBM model F user of the ANSI modded 20 key numpad f122, F XT and the model F 77 from model f keyboards.com
