So i let the nomination thread run on a bit because interest didn't pick up until towards the end, but here we go with the poll for February's Keyboard of the Month!

First up is mrboovn's ENVXK with DCS Valentine



More photos can be found on his flickr

Next we have Bunnylake's Fjell prototype with JTK Orange on Black



Originally posted here

Finally is pr0ximity's OTD 356mini with polycarb plate and tuned vintage blacks



pr0ximity's build thread can be found here

Thank you everybody for the flurry of nominations after my moan, good luck to all the contestants!
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Didn't take me long to decide ;)
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
