Title: Keyboard of the month - February - Winner!
Post by: katushkin on Mon, 02 March 2015, 02:07:19
We had 36 votes cast last month, and the winner was Zeal's Gateron build with blank black POM keycaps (dat stepped Caps Lock tho...)

There were a total of 10 boards nominated this month, with loads of interesting colour schemes and some innovative custom builds. Links to all previous threads are at the bottom of this page.

The nominees this month are:

HoffmanMyster's Dolch PAC

Find more of Hoff's really unappealing keyboard collection here ->https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=68558.0 (just kidding ;) Warning-picture heavy)

DrHubblePhD's re-assembled Hyper Gray 360 Corsa

Find more on his build here -> https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=68955.0

And I am going to be a little biased, choosing between four boards with 1 +1 each and go with:

Naasfu's WASD V2 with Toxic keyset, Chartreuse skull and black skulls

December Poll Thread - https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=67230.0

You can find the rules here:
More
1.   A nomination thread will go up for the last two weeks of every month. You can nominate anybody you like, (even yourself) and any person can have any number of nominations every month. This is going to be the nomination thread for December.

a.   These boards should be ones you are drawn to, ones that stand out for one reason or another. Keysets, modifications, whatever you fancy. I don’t want to have to post guidelines or restrictions on the boards, but I may change this depending on the types of submissions we get over the first few months. Please also say a little bit about each board you nominate, as to the reasons why you think it deserves to be up for KOTM.

b.   The board must have been posted to the forums since the start of the calendar month. It can have been posted before then, but you must provide a link to the images that were posted after the first day of the calendar month.

c.   Keyboards may be resubmitted in subsequent months, but they must have had a picture or progress posted within the calendar month that they are nominated for.

d.   NO THEMES RIGHT NOW. These may or may not follow in the coming months. This also may or may not tie in with the calendar that may or may not happen at the end of next year.

2.   However, after the initial two week period of nominations, a user will only have ONE board get through to the final public voting process. The final three nominees will be selected by myself from the most nominated and praised board in the nomination thread. E.G. If one board is posted and has the most +1s, quotes or references  by other users in said thread, that will be chosen as one of the final three. Essentially, there is a crowd unofficial voting before the public voting. The final three are not up to me, they are up to you.

3.   PLEASE post some good quality photos of the board you are nominating. I’m not looking for Macro lenses and DSLRs, but maybe more than one, top down, blurry shot would be nice. I realise if it isn’t your board there isn’t much you can do about it, but just pick a couple that aren’t terrible from an album or post.

4.   On the 1st of every month, a poll thread will go up. This will consist of three finalists. Again, a user will only have one of their boards get through to this stage during any particular month. You can of course be nominated on another month. There will be one vote per person, and the results will remain anonymous until the voting closes.

5.   After a period of one week, the voting will be closed and a winner will be announced. The winner will be posted both on that month's voting thread, and the following month's nominations thread. I’m not sure if there will be a prize every month, but if there is then I will sort it out and backdate it if I come up with one in a few months time.

6.   The winner of each monthly process will go through to the ANNUAL KEYBOARD OF THE YEAR process, and the winner of the will DEFINITELY win a prize which I will work out in a year’s time.

Voting will close on Monday the 9th of March, happy voting!

And you forgot to mention that Naasfu's has Clack's Fallout Yellow keys on F and J (part of the exquisite Fallout Yellow WASD set) :p

Now how could anyone NOT vote for that?!?!

Congratulations to DrHubblePhd! It was very close this month, and we are getting more votes, up to 50 from last month.

Thank you to everyone who voted, thank you to everyone who nominated boards. Be on the lookout over the next two weeks for boards you love; I know what I am going to be nominating!

Nominations will open on Tuesday the 24th of March, but I will leave this open for a while for congratulations and w-e before I lock it.

Congrats again DrHubble!

Congrats, DrHubblePhd!  Putting relatively unknown Gaterons on a Corsa is daring, haha. :)  And I loved Hoff's colorful Dolch ever since he put that rainbow of windowed GMKs across the top.

Also, I was really surprised (just found out yesterday, duh) and honored that my board was nominated!  Glad people liked the board and the pics. :)
