An Apple Extended Keyboard 2. This is the first Apple keyboard I've ever owned. If someone knows of a good ADB to USB converter please let me know as I'd like to put it in my rotation.

A Chicony with trackball and mouse buttons. It uses Monterey Blues. Interestingly, this is the second year in a row I've gotten a board with these switches. I love them, so I can't wait to use this board.

The Mini-Micro board appears to be a dome with slider with a cool "MACRO" key on the lower left. The switches are pleasant. In fact, I'm using this board to type this post.

Finally, we have a totally awesome looking Module from Mohawk Data. The colorway is to die for, and the switches feel nice too. Not sure if I can ever get it to be operational, but it sure is pretty.

He also sent some delicious looking chips and seasoning for me to try. Can't wait! He also sent a nice note explaining my booty.

Thanks so much, Santa, and Merry Christmas to all!

You must have been on Santa‘s nice list

I got a sweet modern board with damped white Alps! I've never had good condition damped whites; definitely eager to get some use out of it.

My secret Santa sent me two amazing keyboards, as well as what is funnily enough one of my favorite kinds of snacks! I had never owned a focus board until today, and will most likely make it my daily driver. The Wyse board is nothing new to me, but is the best condition Wyse I have owned. I likely will be getting or making a converter for that soon.

They also included a lovely note written on a selectric! how cool!
Thank you so much to my secret Santa, and I wish all of you a very merry Christmas!!

Ho ho holy moley! Santa's way too generous. I'd feel so guilty now if I'd taken part and given what I could bear to part with when others were getting hefty loot like that!

I got a IBM Model M, typewriter keycaps and Gateron milky yellow switches from Santa.

And important.. the snacks! Thanks Santa

I got a G80-3000 and a bag of Alps clone switches. Had no chance of finding out what kind yet since I left to visit my family for the holidays. Thanks and Merry Christmas to everyone!

Thank you for the 2010s pack

poker, SA set, aviator cable and some nice clicky switches. The snacks were lovely too

Sorry for being so late this year.

I had a pretty stressful holiday, as I moved flats. Well even better when i recieved my gift, this KPT 84 compact layout alps (clone) board.

I love it !! The colours are great, the clicky switches annoy my coworkers to the perfect degree and best of all, the condition is immaculate.
Since I managed to "lose" my work keyboard while moving (big part of my boxes is already in another part of the country for another big move that will happen this year) its even being used daily as my work board rn.

Thanks for the board and the candy (first licorice I liked in my whole life) & a happy new year to everyone who participated !
Thanks again to kmnov for organizing.

Best wishes to you all !
