Keyboard of the Month - November - Vote!
« on: Tue, 12 December 2017, 16:21:32 »
Sorry for the delay everyone! I'm finally getting round to painting my living room so everything from there is now in front of my PC, hence the delay. We've had a LOT of interest this month in Keyboard of the Month. We've had more +1s than I think we've had all year, and we even managed to entice the famed Microsoft Windows out of the shadows to grace us with his ****posting presence.

The nominees this month are:

Dudesnail's TGR 910

Posted here but the full review is here

As always, the vote will last seven days. Good luck all!

That was difficult to decide.

Voted, finally :)
"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

dail snales votes seem pretty rigged.  I mean the topre board had thought into it and a lot of work while his is just a tgr.. basic white board.  not like daniel t's is any less special, but it has half the votes too.

Congratulations Dudesnal! I'm honestly amazed at the amount of votes that keep coming in each month. Thank you to everyone who voted, and of course thank you to everyone who's boards keep people coming back!

Congratulations Dudesnail!

That was an interesting breakdown of votes - exactly 25%, 25% and 50%.
