I tried my hands on some MX Blues today for the first time - Awsome but not as good as the Buckling Springs.

Red, no question. Made my Kinesis dream board come true.

... and you should not have to let that influence your vote in any way. ;)

Hands down, Buckling Spring. Blues are nice, but too light and high-pitched; haven't tried Browns or Topre yet; and I do not enjoy the light linear Reds.

Why are the ergo clears missing?

What about ALPS?

What about Keytronics?

Everything is driven by nominations and votes in the previous round, as far as I understand. If something was not nominated, or did not get enough votes in the previous round, then you don't see it in the final round!

I like the "Oscar" system so far, because it prevents watered down votes among much more candidates in the final round. This is what Round 4 should have been like. :twisted: The (full) results of the polls of the second round and of the third and final round will be released next Tuesday.

I voted for Alps bro, I really did. I wanted them to be in there but they just didn't make it.

Had to vote Topre. I got to try the reds the other day and they were very impressive but I only used them for a day.

Although it's my favorite, the biggest surprise here was that the buckling spring was ahead a long time, considering all new fashionable keyboards come with Cherries. I thought the other Cherries would do better. Topre is a bit more exclusive. The Cherry Brown is a great switch though. Usable on the work place and near peers (no clicks), readily available, light yet tactile, and it is good for both typing and gaming.

While I voted for reds, I choosed the Filco with browns.
