Keyboard of the Month - July - Late poll!
« on: Tue, 04 August 2015, 16:11:01 »
Hey guys, sorry for the lateness. I've suffered with terrible network issues over the last seven days (I blame a combination of Virgin Media and powerline adaptors!) as well as dealing with solicitors trying to scam me... But anyway! Here is the poll for July's Keyboard of the Month competition!

Not as many nominations or +1s as I would like this month, but we do have three contenders, so that's all that matters! They are:

Jokrik's LZ SQ



More pictures can be found here

Mooksie's Model M



I've no idea where I found it... I'm going against my own rules... Mooksie, please post more pictures of it :)

And finally, ghostjuggernaut's 365CL DGE



You can find more pictures on his flickr

The poll will last for seven days, and the results will be revealed at the end! Good luck all, and happy voting!

P.S: Flickr sucks and my text formatting won't work so that's why the text is all the same size.
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

A difficult choice this month, but voted :)
"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

Yeah, but it hasn't got any legends! :p

Congrats Ghostjuggernaut :)

A fairly clear lead - well deserved :D
