Datahand.

As they say in America, "I know who butters my bread".

Voted Kinesis Advantage of course. One reason (often overlooked) being it has the best keyboard controller out there, with 2 programmable layers, layout switching, audible feedback and other features, and no software required to program it.

Hey Ripster, what relationship do you have with Datahand? You told us about your AAPL investment, but not much about Datahand!

The Kinesis controller is pretty outstanding.

The Datahand is still a split HID, the Kinesis isn't. It takes some heavy modding to get that done.

Why is Tipro missing?

Am I required to vote in order to win a prize?

It's missing because the voters HATED it. You only need to vote in one category listed on the prize page, so if you don't have an opinion or favorite you can skip this category.

Can't understand the hate;-)

It is beeping when you press 2 keys at a time and therefore prevents you from false input;-)

This feature alone should be considered ergonomic!

Beeping to prevent you from injury is nice and all, but unfortunately it doesn't have Keytronics switches. FAIL.
