Round 3 rules:
Please vote for the best keycaps of 2017.

This is the final round. See the first round and second round for reference.

Official nominees:

GMK 9009 R2
Taken from the classic Cherry G80-9009, this keyset has been transformed and expanded to be used with modern keyboard layouts. Made from single shot PBT plastic, with legends that are dye-subliminated, these keycaps will not accumulate shine as quickly as ABS keycaps. The legends are dye-subliminated, and will never wear off.

Bringing back a Classic.

GMK >Terminal_
The >Terminal_ keyset was conceived in-house by The Key Company to be a classy, simple colorway, influenced by the Green Screen monochrome monitors from our past, with accenting familiar to many, especially those keyboard warriors who code. Even if you don’t code, the novelties were designed to complement the universal tech-inspired theme.

Image
GMK >Terminal_ supports many layouts without a thousand caps, the beauty of this was, as Bob Ross would say, a happy accident.

EnjoyPBT Cherry Profile PBT Dyesubs
EnjoyPBT have been releasing some awesome PBT dyesub keycap sets for Cherry MX keyboards, in various configurations. The quality is really great. Not many enthousiasts were able to resist these purdy keycap sets, and are now enjoying the PBT a lot, thank you very much.

Image
EnjoyPBT Cherry Profile PBT Dyesubs, whether it's their cyan/magenta Hangul legends, or their black/red Cyrillic legends, these keycaps are super popular and very classy looking.

GMK Honeywell
Micro Switch, a division of Honeywell, has some of the most iconic keyboards of all time. The Symbolics "Space-Cadet" keyboard is immediately recognizable, but the Honeywell Terminal Keyboard with its Red/Grey/Black/White colorway is just as visually striking.

Image
The colors of the Honeywell Terminal Keyboard are so simple and classic that they deserve to join the ranks of classic sets.

GMK Oblivion
GMK Oblivion by Oblotzky is a custom MX compatible keycap set, inspired by programming! It is designed after the code coloring scheme of the same name created by Paolo Borelli. Made of doubleshot ABS plastic, and made in Germany by GMK with the original Cherry tooling.

Image
GMK Oblivion has different posibilities. You can, for example, switch out the alphas to make your own version of the classic IDE theme, and make it mono or colored.

As much as I like GMK 9009 r2, it shouldn't be on the list. Round 1 was in 2016 and Round 2 won't be delivered before February 2018.

Is that a KBD75 for the Honeywell?

Oblivion is a IDE/text editor theme, huh?
I voted for it because I like white on grey.
