More nominations:

Soarer for his XT/AT/PS2/Terminal to USB converter with NKRO (Could also be eligible for the Best Relic/discovery award for making it possible to use more vintage keyboards with modern systems. Other XT-converters have been available, but not at low cost and availability)

webwit · 25 Nov 2011, 17:09

This category needs more nominations, otherwise I'll move the current mods to the general Deskthority Award category and remove the Best input device mod category.

Findecanor · 25 Nov 2011, 17:58

Signature Plastics, for all the key caps. They may not have the best key caps, but they have sure provided the community with many choices. There have been several runs by different people. And don't forget the novelty keys.

Signature Plastics Novelty keys as BEST mod of 2011?

ಠ_ಠ

I'd insert my reversed LOD pic but I'm lazy.

What about the Dox Keyboard? See http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:19227

I'm still thinking whether I could try to make it fit in a Poker case and thus make a reprogrammable Poker...

Not by itself, but as part of a whole.
It is a lot because of SP that we can dress up our keyboards so much that we do.
