Oprheo's rosewood looks very nice and clean  :thumb:

Aelon's Logitech G810 is cool, though it's a bit messy  :)

I don't like Realforce very much  :(

I think it's hilarious that the alternate key cap set for Oprheo's rosewood 60% has both "XXX" and "XXX" keys! They're probably configured to go straight to his favorite keyboard forums, where he'll find all sorts of topless de-capped keyboards with bare switches and exposed stems! I'd bet you can even find bare pics, showing fully exposed PCBs and even... gasp! keyboards with a hand wired matrix! Too hot! LOL! ;D :p :thumb:

Never seen the Keycaps from Oprheo's rosewood build.
And now I need them  :)

Congratulations Orpheo! A fantastic creation beating out stiff competition! Commiserations to Aelon and Nintenjindo, but congratulations on being nominated in the first place! Orpheo will be going through to the Keyboard of the Year vote for 2017!

Not gonna lie... I was solidly sold on voting for the Nintenjindo, until I saw the alternate keycap set for Oprheo's rosewood. I fell in lurve...  ;D
I gotta ask, what's it from? It looks like it was part of a typewriter originally. VERY cool!

**EDIT**
Dug around a bit. Keys from THREE Triumph Adler typewriters! Wow! :eek:
I can see the 2u keys are made from space bars... Very creative work!
