Please vote for your winner of the award for the Best keycaps in 2012.

By voting in this category you can win a Filco Majestouch keyboard from the Keyboard Company.

This is the final round. See the first round and second round for reference. There are 6 instead of 5 final nominees because of an equal number of votes in the second round.

The winner of this category (if a member) will receive a Deskthority Award Clack Factory Wingnut Trophkey!

The nominees are:
