richfiles (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=75880.0;all) made this lovely 75% designed around the Blue Angels SA set (I forgot the name of the set)

MadMaxx (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=75079.0) has been working on his CopperDog board. I really like the layout. It's extremely close to ideal for me (22ex mini's 65% layout is my ideal).

Badwrench (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=80708.msg2111409#msg2111409) built this odd little "Satan 60" TKL kit. Turned out solid and I love the caps.

Hmmm ...

A better link would be: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=79264.msg2122741#msg2122741

Which shows a completed keyboard, and was posted this calendar month.

But is this your keyboard? You are not allowed to self-nominate any more.

You are allowed to self-nominate once again. Katushkin decided against that rule and nullified it. :D

I was only going by rule 1 here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=76665.0): "1. A nomination thread will go up for the last two weeks of every month. You can nominate anybody you like other than yourself, and any person can have any number of nominations every month."

Yeah, I understand the confusion, but it is listed in the OP of this thread itself, actually.

Ah, ok.

katushkin needs to lift his game and update the official rulez :p

No worries, haha. Yeah, it probably should be updated in the main thread for KOTM, but I know Katushkin has a lot going on.

Hey man, don't beat yourself up!

I like it! >:C

So +1 for the party van, dammit.

No really, it is very well-coordinated with the key set you've got on it, and it's rare to see a glossy anodized finish on keyboard cases. I like that.

I've already got more keyboards than I know what to do with, haha. Also I think I'd need ALPs support if I were to get another custom.

Freaking love that it's made in the USA though.

richfiles (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=75880.0;all) made this lovely 75% designed around the Blue Angels SA set (I forgot the name of the set)
Show Image
(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=75880.0;attach=128624;image)

The set is called Danger Zone. Technically, while the main keyboard is physically finished, I have not programmed it yet (cause I have not had time to figure out how to do this firmware stuff, and I have no experience with that). I also don't have the plate for the number pad. I don't know how lack of programming, or an as of yet non existent but planned detachable accessory plays into the rules (completion)?

I suppose someone should chime in on if it would even qualify this month or not, and whether the separate number pad should be considered a part of a whole as a set, or as a separate thing (The number pad would be dependent on the keyboard to function, as it magnetically attaches to a port on the side of the keyboard, but the keyboard does not require the number pad accessory for it to function).

Also, the pic you used is out of date. Up to date one below. Now has some key changes (Fallout vault keys!) and a wrist rest. Very kind of you to nominate it though! Thanks! ;D
