Don't have a twitter, so I might as well try my luck here  ;D
My dream keyboard would be a CM Mech (yes that funky enormous one with the handle) modded with green backlighting, but since it was limited edition I would say my second choice would be a Ducky shine 3 tenkeyless with greens and green backlighting.
Awesome giveaway btw  :thumb:

nice giveaway. about Keychatter, don't know how you plan to expand the site, but i think you can diversify your content beyond mere keyboard news, by writing opinionated posts reflecting your thoughts about the hobby (seriously, the unhacking wallet post is one of the best i've read on this forum). videos and guides are also good, but those sections seem a little underpopulated at the moment

best of luck!

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I, like many here, seem to not use social media.  But I would like to submit an entry.  I hope this contest gives you the traffic you want.

Just state ahead of time in this thread what you want.

I completely agree and I plan to work more on everything you've mentioned. it's only recently that I've started to dedicate serious time to it, so...keep your eyes open. Reviews and videos will be a big focus in particular.

On that note, I would love to hear specific feedback on what you guys would like to read about. I want to feature a good mix of casual and enthusiast content.

I don't do the twitter, but I'm in.

I'd love a Gon 60% that I could assemble or a HHKB Type-S.  Of course, if it could be anything, I'd really want another Alps Infinity board and plate and either my 60% case to be made or a Hammer case.

I avoid social media like the plague, so asking to enter without promoting your site on Twitter feels like I'm committing the ultimate wallethack against you.   If you do continue to keep this contest open to GHers who don't have a Twitter account, and if I qualify (I have a low post count and I've only been active since November), I would like an ErgoDox with MX Clears.  If I do win, you can expect a thread on GH detailing my winnings.  I assume most people here would do the same (it's the decent thing to do), but maybe you can make that a requirement for the people who don't promote your site via Twitter.

I'm going to make an assumption and say that "spamming" timelines is a bonus for intelli78 since he wants to inherently increase the visibility/viewership/readership of his blog.

If he had nothing other than the buyer's guide, his site would be worth a visit.  It makes for easy comparisons between a good range of boards.  But his Mech101 feature is a good introduction for people who are new to the subject, and his group buy tracker looks like it would be a valuable tool for GeekHackers.

Very nice site - the cross-references between the articles are particularly helpful :)

I'll enter (here) ;D

My current most wanted keyboard is an industrial SSK, but I know how little chance I have of that, or a conventional SSK.  The SSK is not listed in your Buyer's Guide, so I'll settle for a Topre RealForce 87U 55g uniform white.

:D

And remember people, he wants more traffic!  Don't just enter the competition and then forget about the site - visit it regularly for updates.  Tell your friends about it!

Thank you for this competition - and hopefully your site traffic increases :)

If I win I'd like to win the prettiest keyboard of them all AKA the White HHKB Pro 2 Type-S.

Your blog is great btw!  :thumb:

I'll probably have to say for stock keyboards, the HHKB Type-S (blank) or the Korean Realforce 104UK Hi-Pro (which is difficult to obtain in the US...)

In terms of not-stock, jury's still out, I'm still relatively new to the high-end keyboard game. Thanks for the giveaway and good luck to everyone else!

I haven't used my twitter in 8 years, so i don't think my retweet is going to reach anyone.  :(

I bought a couple of hard cases from your site, a poker2 case and a lsv2 case, and both are very solid!  :thumb:

I would love an RF 87u 55g.   Thanks for the contest!

Also thanks for the give away! Hope keychatter has a bright future.

It has a spacebar which includes normal stems, but it also has a second set of stems to accommodate the spacing of the stabs, which is not normal.

It's the other way around actually.
The second set of spacing you see in the spacebar is actually to accommodate the older leopold keyboards that don't follow the normal convention like the 700/500 etc.
The 750 uses the normal standard spacing stems and you can actually use any normal spacebar from another set or keyboard and put it on the 750.

In relation to what topics I want to read about. I would love to get some info about benefits and downsides to the various types of materials plates are made out of. Titanium, aluminum, plastics of various flavors. Seems interesting, and it's not readily available info from what I've seen.

Count me in also for the drawing!

I hope it goes to a member of GH or reddit rather than some random person who's just going to flip it. :)
I listened to the live video feed earlier and they were talking about how there aren't very many consistent contributors on this site - it's because of stuff like this. I was hesitant to join and even more nervous about posting because of all the unwritten rules that exist here, but even more so because of all the animosity towards reddit from heavy posters like yourself. There is not nearly as much open hatred of GH on r/mk - most of it is from one guy.

Obviously the two communities are different, but it seems to me that all of the hostility stems from u/ripster and no matter what happened with him here that's no reason to generalize all of r/mk. The main difference is that people on reddit are new to mechanical keyboards (generally), if people here were more welcoming, more r/mk users would come over and be able to use the awesome knowledge base that exists on GH. Those people would learn and eventually be able to contribute new stuff, which would benefit everyone.

Really though I rarely see anything about GH on reddit, but everyday I'm here someone talks **** about r/mk - if you want new users then it needs to stop. I'm sorry I don't mean to create a flame war on this thread which is full of generosity for both groups but this is like the third time today I've seen something like that on here.
Title: Re: Giveaway on my blog: Win any keyboard (closed; finalists posted)
Post by: nubbinator on Sat, 28 February 2015, 22:10:41
I wasn't ****ting on Reddit, I was just wishing that someone here would win it.   I know there's a greater chance of pictures and follow up if a GH user wins it as opposed to someone on Reddit or a rando on Twitter.  I've run enough large contests on Reddit with my sub, /r/buildapc,to know how things usually go.

Anyways, this is off topic and not relevant to the thread other than someone trying to stir up drama.  Let's keep it on topic.

YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN AN HHKB. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US

My top two were a HHKB Type-S or a Gon.

GON and other Korean customs are not in my KB database, hence they were not eligible for the giveaway. You were fine since you mentioned the alternative, but there were at least 5-6 other folks who tweeted for GONs or other similar boards and got cut before I chose finalists.  One guy asked for an Industrial SSK. Lolz.

My choice if I won was a Realforce Hi-Pro because damn those are sex but oh gods the wallet pain. Wonder what the most and least requested boards were.

And pfft we all know I won the best prize.

The other guys will be crying into their cases and keyboard, and I'll be sitting pretty when the zombie apocalypse comes and I possess the last unsullied Kleenex in the world. All shall bow before the glories of me and my swank Kleenex.

Wait you tossed out people that tweeted GONS and etc?
There's some confusion here because you said tweet your dream keyboard, not the dream keyboard you want to win from me from the list.

I tweeted a GON because your list didn't work on mobile, the formatting went to total ****. Not that I'm salty but man did I laugh out loud when I saw the winners tweet, dream keyboard is a Razer hahahaha amazing... Dreaming big eh

"ANY mechanical keyboard of your choice from the KeyChatter mechanical keyboard buyer�s guide." (http://www.keychatter.com/2015/02/26/last-chance-to-win-any-mechanical-keyboard-you-want/)

Anyways, kind of didn't want to post this and most people don't care/don't read but for consistency's sake I hope people get this

It says #3 Tweet me your dream keyboard with hashtag #DreamKeyboard.
which is not the same as
#3 Tweet me your dream keyboard you'd like to win from this list (http://www.keychatter.com/buyers-guide/) with hashtag #DreamKeyboard.

To break it down simply - tweet a board to be eligible to win - is actually what it says. Not - tweet a board you'd like to win.
I think the latter in the above ^ ended up being the case when the giveaway winners were being selected.

Hence, why I asked did people get thrown out?
In practice, there's some confusion in this here because people who tweeted for gons, customs or industrial SSKs weren't actually asking for those boards, they just tweeted their dream board and then if they won they would be able to pick a board from the list.

Anyways, I think it was meant to be written like this:
#3 Tweet me your dream keyboard from (http://www.keychatter.com/buyers-guide/) with hashtag #DreamKeyboard.

Anyways, not the biggest of deals but the final outcome was influenced by this.

They also appear to be the most casual of casuals based on their Reddit account with the same name, so probably no updates after they get it.

You should get some glossy yellow epoxy and decoupage that tissue onto a keycap.
