IBM 3278 beam spring keyboard • The IBM 3278 keyboard recently escaped its status as vintage but unusable, by applying xhwatsit's beam spring usb controller, so it can shine as one of the highest quality keyboards with the highest quality switches in history.

WASD V2 • The WASD V2 is a mechanical MX keyboard available in 104, 105, 87 and 88 key variants, has a high quality construction and various DIP switch settings.

The IBM vote was split anyway. How else could an MX beat a buckling spring? Anyway, congrats to WASD. Their configurability is legend.

I think it's time for a vote to be called for how the final round works. When I get home and am not using Tapatalk, I'll put one up in the club member polls section.
