Is the USB cable on the regular models still only detachable by opening the case or has that changed with whatever went on with designing the compact xwhatsit controller? (Sorry I've only been half keeping up with this thread)

I'd be interested. Been looking for something like this and haven't been interested in the options I've seen so far. Hopefully I remember to checking this IC's progress.

One of the most important features to me would be that both the keyboard and USB cable are kept snugly in place and not able to ...

I don't think I want to buy my computers from someone who doesn't know what a CPU is.

How many people are getting caps through you vs sourcing their own?

Did the whole voting with new accounts situation get resolved? If not, no need for suspicion of what will soon be 50+ votes for Hell of Kitten, it must be what the people want.

Now for the hardest decision of all: Which additional bumpers that I may never use do I want?

Hey Ellipse, any chance you could add a shipping option for Canada? Only international options right now are Europe/Asia or Australia.

I'm happy to see how easily they come apart. Making the cable removable is going to be easier than I expected.

The final version will have the spacebar tabs that are available in the extra options section pre-installed, right?

Interesting looking Ukrainian keyboard.

Happy PST New Year everybody!

Had a feeling on that last part. Nobody who makes their wife pcb earings doesn't already have a track record for those sorts of shenanigans

(After the fact vote for daft prick because it's the most amusing)

I would say a Model F AT with the only drawback being that the HHKB ruined the Backspace position for me (and I guess having to connect via PS/2).

HHKB Pro 2 is a close second, but being a 60% I would miss having custom layers more with it unmodded than I would the AT (which I still haven't gotten ...

Well, I was going to wait until Christmas to open it and post, but at this rate if I do I may be the only one.

My secret santa got me a Unicomp 122-key Model M. Thanks a lot! I think this is my first time typing on a Model M since I was maybe 7-8 years old, and I don't remember anything about how ...

The only surprise here is that they only got 57% of the vote.

Dang, won by a single vote. Good job Hasu and thanks for the firmware.

Same, I'm interested in the Kishsaver because it's a 60% Model F. So the idea of a smaller version is definitely appealing to me. Can't wait to see those renderings.

I'm interested in giving it a try. I too am curious to know just what the heck it might be.

You're going about this all wrong. First imply that sales may never return if you don't win, then hint that you've found beamsprings.

I have to vote for Topre's analogue switches because that seems like a pretty huge innovation even if I can't see myself ever having a use for them. It would be great for movement in video games, except no game would ever implement it.

Nothing would make me happier than if those JustSystems HiPro caps were sold as a standalone set.

Too many reason to not vote for Massdrop.

Also this is the first time I zoomed in and noticed the GMK sticker saying open and handle with care. That's beautiful.

Just got my present today. It's large, heavy and very keyboard shaped. Bought on ebay, so my Santa's anonymity is in the clear. Now I just have to resist peaking for 2 1/2 weeks!

I bought one of these a month ago when it was posted in the interesting finds thread. I really like it, the switches feel nice and it's definitely my prettiest board. Is there any way to go about actually making it usable?

I'm definitely in favour of merging. They're over half the nominations!

But yeah that does complicate things for how GMK will be voted for in the Triumph Adler incident.

Got a 5th nomination for Massdrop, this time for the Infinity Ergodox drop.

Lets see if I can remember everything that's happened:
1) Product description made no mention that it wasn't already a finished product and that a final working prototype hadn't been made yet. All talk of which was buried ...
