Pimp My Keyboard is doing a giveaway of The Material Metaphor Keyset in the first week of the groupbuy. I have been promoting it on my blog. But if you don't wan't to go to my blog (http://roastpotatoes.github.io/2015/04/08/pmk-the-material-metaphor/) you can still enter :). All you have to do is like PMK (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pimp-My-Keyboard/589719521065041?fref=ts) on Facebook as well as sharing the groupbuy (https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1rwqUQY&t=The+Material+Metaphor+%28dye-sub%2C+PBT%2C+DSA%29+%3E+Pimp+My+Keyboard) on Facebook.

Since SP has a subforum shouldn't this be in there??

Yes. Also, paid marketing firm accounts really need to identify themselves as such when they register here.

I didn't think about that sorry.

I'm not saying that RoastPotatoes is or is not getting paid for doing marketing for SP/PMK. But there has been at least one account recently that is a paid marketer.
@RoastPotatoes: your blog is interesting. I've never seen it before today.

Thanks for the feedback on my blog @jdcarpe and @yomammary. I really appreciate it. I am actually quite surprised about the reaction. /r/mk seems to be a little hostile to my posts and they seem to be getting downvoted so I was a little nervous about the reaction on geekhack.
In all honesty I replied to this post (http://deskthority.net/vendors-f52/signature-plastics-keyset-giveaway-via-pimp-my-keyboard-t10304.html) as I thought it would be a good opportunity to do something with a well established company that is known in the community. I thought it might give me some exposure and possible bring me to new heights. Although I was worried how it would be received if I was just promoting a product. However it has been an interesting experience, doing something a little more 'official' on my blog.
I really do appreciate your feedback on my blog though :)

Cell phone interfaces care more about good looks than good usability. It doesn't translate well to a real keyboard. That's probably why Material Metaphor won't even tip while thousands are piling on for a similar set on MD
