Title: Give away! SIIG Minitouch! ACCESS-IS! ABS M1!
Post by: demik on Sat, 23 June 2012, 21:04:50
I have three keyboards to give away. The rules are simple.

1)If you already own a siig, you can't win a siig. if you already own ANY access-is board, you can't win the access-is. if you already own an abs m1, you can't win the abs m1. I TRUST THAT YOU WONT LIE TO ME.
2)Only ONE of your posts will count, if for whatever reason the random number picked (from random.org) falls on a post that wasn't your first.. i will re-do it
3)I will be giving away the siig first, the access second and the abs m1 last. if you win one, you are out of the give away for the other two as i want others to win something too :).
4)You must have joined before June 16th, and have more than 20 posts by the time of this posting.
5)You pay shipping :P

I will be using random.org to pick the winners.

Here are pictures of the keyboard (huge thanks to reaper for the abs M1 as he gave it to me the first time i met him and he said it was okay to give it away!):

good luck!

Very generous of you.

I already have a SIIG Minitouch and ABS M1 but never touched an ACCESS-IS so that would cool to check out.

You joined Nov 11th, well after June 16th. I joined Feb 18th which is well before, :biggrin:

I suppose you're going to get all picky now and point out that you joined over a year before me...

OK, fine, if you want to get TECHNICAL, :wink:

Good luck to all and thanks again to demik, and reaper I guess, very cool thing to do.

This I have to enter =D. I am still getting situated here in the states, and life has made it really hard to post on the forums, but I am glad you decided to give the boards away.
Good luck to everyone that enters. Demik should be given praise for such a great give away.

one thing i forgot to mention.

try not to sell these for profit :)

sure, it's not like you'd get hundreds for them.. but lets not take advantage of each other over a few dollars. but in the end, i can't stop you. so just a small request.

I'm interested in a shot at the Access-IS board. I still have yet to try seriously typing on a keyboard with a matrix layout and I've been curious about it for a while. Thanks, Demik!

I already have quite a bunch of Access boards..... and that ABS board just kinda feels like my steelseries board for some reason so if thats 'same enough' i guess im also out of that one.

Dont have a SIIG tho or any alps board for that matter..... So PLEASE PICK MY NUMBER for that one LOL

Great initiative!
