Vote in the final round of this category to win a WhiteFox keyboard and GMK Carbon keycap set from Massdrop!
Nomination rules:
Use this topic to suggest nominees for The Deskthority 2016. This is the main award and "super category," so anything goes. You can suggest a keyboard, company, keycap set, person, etc. It can be something or someone already nominated in another category as well. In fact, please post strong candidates from other categories. What has been extra special since Thursday 3 December, 2015? Who earns the Golden Wingnut? You have to give a short motivation for each suggestion. You cannot nominate yourself.
Current suggestions:
- The Model MF team - lot_lizard, idollar and wcass (along with Saurer and Tom Wong and input from many others) -- for their tireless work on the mind-blowing Model MF drop-in kit.
- Snuci -- for his excellent image dump contribution to the Deskthority Wiki.
- Daniel Beardsmore -- for his never-ending work on the Wiki. I know he won't accept any reward, but he at least deserves the recognition.
- Chyros for his very informative and interesting youtube videos covering a range of key switches, but most importantly because of that majestic voice of his!
- SkullyDazed - for running some of the best, most organized drops. Hard to believe its a single person shop!
- Evan from TheVan Keyboards: for kickstarting my keyboard journey and being such a kind and helpful community member! And also, for attempting to make a modern ALPS keyset and handling the group buy like a champ.
- XMIT for bringing back an entire switch type.
- Originative. The TADA68 was a great addition on top of more great GMK sets, and EnjoyPBT dyesubs.
- Jchan - for running very complicated successful GBs / amazing customer service.
- Jesse Vincent (aka obra) and Kaia Dekker of Keyboardio for running one of the most transparent crowdfunding campaigns.
- DreymaR for maintaining The Big Bag of Tricks (USB, Linux, Windows) mostly for Colemak, but it can serve as inspiration to any keyboard user.
- LeandreN, for his great service for the keyboard building community - I'm thinking at his past and present GB rounds (plates, Nerd60 PCBs and stabilizers), here and at GH.
- White fox staff- for the incredible keyboard.
- GMK electronic design GmbH for stepping towards community. They offer now more community friendly prices, custom colors and legends. With time we will see more community specific products which is a good thing.
- Apolotary because he is doing a lot for the entire community: events (first Tokyo meetup), artisans, proxy services, KB reviews, podcasts, keycaps ICs and so on! He also includes free sweets in every package sent from Japan.
- The Top Clack team. I really enjoy their streams.
- Ripster55 for continuing to spread his knowledge on reddit and general shitposting.
