Three very different boards with plenty of DIY - that makes this a tough choice!

Other thought - is this the first time the small board with blanks is not the hardest one to find macro 7 on?!

What's a Macro 7? I wouldn't know where to find one on any keyboard =/

Maybe the 7th macro? That's how I read it.

Hmm, not an easy one for me: I need a full size at work and use the mouse on the left for efficiency (I'm right handed) so the EVE is appealing; sometimes I wish I had more keys and the Hyper7 is appealing; and I love the elegance of the Preonic also.

Um, same question. Also Macros 1-6, and 8+. Have I been keyboarding wrong?

You've got it all back-to-front.  Just look at your keyboard  :)) :p :)) :p

Congratulations Jon_Flynn! A great collaboration from many people creating a fantastic board!

Well done Jon_Flynn - that's a decent margin!

And thanks to those who gave a vote for EVE-Project. This was a heavyweight round!

Congrats Jon_Flynn! I kinda feel bad anybody had to go up against the Hyper 7, that thing is a monster in more ways than one! :eek: Throw in the fact you somehow managed to get a Space Cadet set to cover the beast & it was game over. :cool: Although I do gotta say emenelopee's EVE-Project & Kitchener's hand wired preonic are no slouches by any means, both could've easily won KBotM most other times IMHO. Great work from all three of you! :thumb:

For what its worth - I think your board is better in terms of execution and thats where my vote went. Although it could do with a few more buttons... now if you wanna trade...

Agreed, moar buttons! Great to see a resurgence of the Big Keyboard Massive. Let's keep up the momentum.

Jon_Flynn, you out did yourself and deserve every one of those votes! Really glad I haven't quite finished up my own to go up against that beautiful beast you created!  :))
Soon™

Awww legend thanks!!

I have to say it was a team effort - everyone else in the project did just as much if not more than I and they kept me going on it too :)

Congratulations on the win.  Very stiff competition this month,  it really could have gone to any of the nominees IMO.
