Voters have a chance at winning a keyboard of your choice from WASD keyboards!

Results:
Official nominees for Best project or innovation were:

  • XMIT Hall Effect keyboards
  • The Model MF
  • The :~$ynth
  • HaaTa's force curve gauge
  • Ellipse's Model F replicas

This category was a close call. A few votes could push someone from last place to first place. However, there is a winner and a Wingnut! As voted for by the keyboard community, the Trophkey goes to...

Winner:
Spoiler:
The Model MF
Based on the FSSK/FEXT project, lot_lizard created a full drop-in Model F replacement for the Model M. This includes a custom plate, a new FSSK/FEXT PCB and Model F barrels, which keep the feel as close as possible to original F designs.

Runners-up:
Spoiler:
2nd place: HaaTa's force curve gauge
HaaTa was tired of subjective reviews, so he took matters into his own hands. The result is a completely objective measurement system with high precision, accuracy, and granularity. Accurate force curve graphs will soon flood the Deskthority wiki!

2nd place: XMIT Hall Effect keyboards
XMIT revived an ancient contactless switch technology in a modern format with MX compatible sliders. The result is a modern keyboard that should survive ridiculous amounts of keypresses.

2nd place: The :~$ynth
Binge/HWS simplified artisan keycap creation with the :~$ynth. Its low cost and high quality should encourage a new generation of injection mold artists to join the artisan movement.

Honorable mentions:
Spoiler:
Ellipse's Model F replicas
Ellipse is known for reviving a switch technology, but his original cases for 4704 keyboards are keeping the project relevant. His project is most famous for its 4704 replicas.
