How can I choose only one!
How can I choose only one!
Exactly! I've been staring at this thing for a few minutes and I really don't know who to pick. It's like the last month's poll but 10x more difficult.
With such a huge list, would it be beneficial to allow people to vote for their top 3 boards? I think that might make it a bit more interesting.
I have reset all the votes back to ZERO ladies and gents, so please vote for your TOP THREE. There may have to be a tie breaker... I don't know what it will be... I guess I have ten days to decide.
Voted, hard decision but i was able to decide on which two to vote for :)
Only did two, was going to think and choose a third, but i found out after voting you can only do one batch of votes :))Voted, hard decision but i was able to decide on which two to vote for :)
Didn't vote for three?

Hmm, I thought you could change it. Might be an option that Kat would have to set tho.

I've changed it so you can change your votes :) Shouldn't affect the vote as you wont be able to see the results until it expires.
Just voted, you guys have all built first-class boards. I'm not saying who I voted for but I appreciate a well-detailed work log. It encourages community and allows others to follow in your footsteps. :llama:

I know who you voted for, hehehe. >:D
Really awesome keyboard E3E! IMO had the best combo of a custom build, unique functionality, and aesthetics.
Would be even cooler if each winning board had their own link to a thread or something with more detail..etc.
Can't wait for the year of the topre. HHKB shall rule every month!:puke:

I guess 2015 will be known at the 60% board year. More and more users here are going with them. I guess it's a form factor thing, but I still prefer the standard layout overall. Maybe it's just me, but I feel that the 60% form factor is more in tune to Mac users than PC users too.The downward size trend is definitely here for now, but depending on what task is needing to be done, the fulls-size may come back. They really won't ever die with those that have to deal with numbers constantly and that's why they'll always still be a staple in businesses. And business purchases outnumber enthusiast purchases probably 100 or 1000:1 if not more.
It's a trend but I wonder if the full-size keyboard will come back. I do like having the function row above the numbers and having a full numeric keypad as well as the arrows. About the minimum I will go is SSK.
Now, if the 60% does continue, (and it's not a bad thing) I would like to see indicators letting you know what layer you are on as you are using it. This would seriously eliminate error, and make things less complicated in my opinion.
Maybe by the year 2017, there will be less and less demand for a real keyboard, and people will be using those virtual keyboards to the point of bringing a true keyboard to extinction. I really don't want to see that happen.
"What do you mean, you have to use your hands for this?"
Oh man.

But this is more of an ergonomics issue than anything else. I actually place my trackball in front of the numeric keypad at times. This way, I don't have to worry about the reach. I also learn every keyboard shortcut there is, so I'm just mousing a lot, lot less.

The problem is that fullsize boards with everything to the right of the alphas is a terribly un-ergonomic layout for anyone that uses a mouse with their right hand. My Model F is probably my favorite board to type on, but I have to find alternatives to using a traditional mouse with my right hand else I'll need shoulder surgery in the future.
I'd love to see more standalone numpads and/or attached ones to the left of the alphas.
Nice! I've been thinking of getting a trackball to put in front of my larger keyboards like that, seems like a great idea. Getting a little off-topic now, but good stuff to consider!But this is more of an ergonomics issue than anything else. I actually place my trackball in front of the numeric keypad at times.
