Keyboard of the Month - February - Nominations
« on: Wed, 21 February 2018, 19:23:13 »
Here we have the nomination thread for February 2018's Keyboard of the Month!

January's winner was AfroKobe's Lakers E6-V2



As always, please only nominate boards that have been posted elsewhere on the forum within the calendar month. Please post a quality picture of said board, and a link to where it was originally posted. This thread will be open for approximately two weeks. Happy hunting!
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Self-nominating my finally-finished EVE-Project:
Custom: alu chassis, black acrylic top and bottom, pcb, aviator cable;
Off-shelf: Kailh box red, Maxkey SA, teensy++;

Thanks for the mod edit katushkin, and a +1 for the Hyper7: With +10k points on Reddit I think we can call Feb's KotM right now!

Wow, I think a lot of us say this but - it's a hard choice this month!

I gotta say +1 for Hyper7 just because of the massive work that went to it given it's a multiple person undertaking.  :eek:

Nontheless emenelopee's project is just as impressive and the final product is just amazingly executed! :thumb:

And that KIRA60. Nice, really really nice. :cool:

Actually, that’s a different project... more on Saturday!!


Thanks everyone for the nomination - but I couldn’t have built the board without the rest of the H7 team so massive props to them as well. I’m hoping someone at the meet can do some better pics than I am capable of!!

There has been considerable interest in the PCBs as well so there may be an IC for a small non-profit run of a revised PCB...

Hyper7 gets my vote. +1 Custom PCB with daughterboard plus a near mythical keyset with legendary status!

EVE is a damn close second - fantastic execution, ortho and a lefty numpad cluster to boot!
