Keyboard of the Month - February - Nominations
« on: Thu, 06 February 2020, 11:29:11 »
Hello everyone. We haven't had a vote go live for the January KOTM yet as we have only had two nominees so far... but we do have our Keyboard of the Year winner, who, by a landslide, was Acereconkeys' Aergo



This thread will be open until at least the end of this month for you to nominate your favourite boards of February!
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Holy moly indeed! These boards look like they're used to control something else instead a regular computer.

Good Lord...
February went from "This one's in the bag" to "Oh Dear God, How can I possibly make a decision! Help me in my time of weak mind!"  :eek:
