Please vote for your winner of the award for the Best keycaps 2013.
By voting in this category you can win a Ducky, SkiData or Realforce from 002.
This is the final round. See the first round and second round for reference.
The official nominees are:
APL triple-shot beam spring keycaps
Oooh, what's that you have there? A beam spring keyboard? Sure, the best of the best, but did you get it connected? Oh, you did. But what's that? Triple-shot keycaps? OMG DO WANT!
The best kind of keycap on the best kind of tactile keyboard switch.
Original Cherry dye-sub PBT keycaps
Nothing beats the original! Thick, mean and strong plastic, these caps don't wear and don't get shiny as fast as other keycaps.
Original Cherry dye-sub PBT keycaps.
Retro DSA keycaps
Many people got great retro DSA keycaps thanks to matt3o's group buy. Finally you can transform your modern keyboard into a Commodore 64.
The Commodore 64 never looked this good!
Round 4 spherical keycaps
7bit's enormous Round 4 group buy was completed, resulting in lots and lots of keyboard porn.

Topre's HiPro keycaps
The Realforce HiPro ("High-Profile") is a full-size keyboard available in a couple of layouts, sporting high-quality Topre switches and spherical keycaps.

(I voted for it anyway because IBM sphericals really are the best keycaps.)
