The nominees in the category Best input device photo 2015 are:

HAL - Keyboard laundry • HAL read one of those articles about throwing a dirty keyboard in the dishwasher. Then dialled it up! Please don’t tell us you closed the door on that SSK.

Lastpilot - LZ-S in the pink backlight • Lastpilot is right. Such an expensive custom keyboard needs to be flaunted! It seems to be almost floating in the pink backlight.

Madhias - IBM Space Saving Keyboard at Work • Madhias caught another smart shot here, in a place where few of us would think. This SSK isn’t posing for the camera on a spotless desk, it’s sneaked away in the server rack at work. Looks tasty even so!

Madhias - Moody IBM Space Saving Keyboard • Soft light, after dark, where everything lurks in the glow of a hard night’s work. We’ve all been there. Madhias captured that after hours SSK feeling very nicely indeed.

Muirium - Round 5 • 2015’s biggest event, on the desk. Mu’s NovaTouch isn’t so much the star here, but the chaos of brand new caps it’s buried underneath!

Ramnes - 60% Hammer case keyboard • Clean and stark, Ramnes captured the essence of his 60% quite elegantly in this shot. The reflection, and the lighting on the cable, quite delicious!

And the Wingnut for Best input device photo 2015, as voted for by the members of deskthority, goes to...

In a very tight competition, this was my favorite. Good one Madhias!

Congratulations!


There where 2 photos I liked more aestetically, but this one is beating them all because it tells a story.

Congratulations

It tells the story of the patch cables that need tidy time spent on them !

Aww, I was thinking my fellow Hammer bro might've nabbed this! Congrats to Madhias, none the less. That photo is certainly deserving of the prize!

I have that board's syster, even the same BBv2 on Esc I voted for another one but this photo deserves this! Madhias now you will have a rare keyboard artefact for your son

Nice one, loved that photo.

I think this year has been the best for keyboard photos in general. Everyone is really stepping it up

Grrreat! Now send me that cap! Just joking, I am happy to be the winner here, but it was already enough honor to contribute the image for the awards.

That is true, the density of better quality gets higher, but I also remember showing some colleagues at work a pictures thread here at DT when I was not a member yet, of some "keyporn" pictures, and together with the fresh layout of DT it was the reason to join! The colleagues did not really get what was amazing though...

Damn, I would have loved the wingnut, but big congratz to you, Madhias! Your picture was definitely my favorite... after mine, of course.

(and I think you should send me that BBv2 to be forgiven)

(omg, I lost by one vote )

Ouch! And I only won in my category by two votes! The fact that it can really be a one vote decision is SO scary, haha. Sorry you lost. I was rooting for ya!

Congrats Madhias !
And don't worry too much ramnes we'll have a french wingnut next year
(maybe some special secret strategy to discuss about on next meeting )

I was at the wrong party, evidently! Delighted to see Madhias' brilliant shot won. It's got depth, it's got colours, it's got a story, and it's got SSK. Winning formula for sure.

And Madhias dominated the nominations so hard it was only fair he won. A great year of pics from him throughout! Well deserved.
