-SP ALPS GB barely succeeds, but there's some unexpected issue with it.I’m skeptical. The proposed color scheme is a bit of a niche preference, and I think the stabilizer issues need solving. SP really doesn’t want to do Alps anything, but especially not Alps DCS or Alps dyesubs. Maybe they can eventually be convinced to do Alps DSA dyesubs. Their pricing for Alps anything is substantially more expensive than the MX equivalents.
-First in-the-flesh versions of the Unicomp M83 are shown, possibly released to the marketGood luck with that. I’d put the odds here at about 10:1 against.
-Large MX switch shortages lead to a big influx of quality MX clonesPlausible. I’m curious whether we’ll see Gateron or Gaote switches in any keyboards available in the west. I’m looking forward to Matias switches gaining some popularity, especially with the new linear variants. Seems like they’d be an attractive option for “gamer” boards, with the ability to shine RGB LEDs through them.
How little things change ...Egdx4LyfShow Image(http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion_custom/th_0tasma.gif)
- Figure out how to design a Model F PCB, and make a split column-stagger “ergonomic” Model F.
- A growing number of people will denounce multicolour rainbow backlighting as being "gay".my keyboard with rainbow keycaps was called "tolerant"
PredictionsIt's more of a pleasant surprise when there aren't any

I predict my first full set GMK group buy will also happen this year :pI predict your avatar will be changed at least 50 more times within the next year :^)
I predict I will find 356cl at retail and Photekq will kill 2 more social workers with spice jars.I predict my first full set GMK group buy will also happen this year :pI predict your avatar will be changed at least 50 more times within the next year :^)
Predictions :
I won't find HASRO/SAV/SEARB or SAT for the 2nd year in a row.

EDIT: Also Uniqey will be either pad printed or way more expensive than anyone wants to pay.
Cherry will get their act together in Q2/3 and start producing more switches.Good luck with that.
I will probably buy a horribly expensive board (korean customs) to celebrate being taken on full time.:(
My girlfriend and I will have a massive argument about it
I will move out of my parent's house.I imagine this might help with the GF. :)
I also plan to get out of my horrible debt crisis with a lifeline from a trust fund I'm owed on my 25th birthdayHow big is this trust fund? I think you should share with the rest of us. But seriously, paying down debt is great. I’m super thankful that my college had generous financial aid and I don’t have much of any debt coming out of school. Many of my friends piled up huge loans to pay for school and now have to work crazy hard on jobs they hate to dig themselves out of the debt ****pile. Structuring society so that many 20-year-olds are in debt to the tune of multiple years of salary is just insane.

With all the complaints [Cherry has] had over the past year it's only a matter of time before they start ramping up production [of MX switches].Once again, good luck with that.
I never went to university, so the debt is purely my own fault. Not helped by all the keyboards I've been buying.I’m all for taking responsibility for things, but don’t beat yourself too much. Jobs, debt, financial security, etc. are hard for almost everybody.
.. I only need about £5k to pay off everything, then the rest will go on/be used towards saving up for a deposit on the house.Congrats. Striking out on your own and supporting your own household is a big milestone. All the best luck with it!
