Please vote for your winner of the award for the Best keycaps 2013.

By voting in this category you can win a Ducky, SkiData or Realforce from 002.

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

The official nominees are:

APL triple-shot beam spring keycaps
Oooh, what's that you have there? A beam spring keyboard? Sure, the best of the best, but did you get it connected? Oh, you did. But what's that? Triple-shot keycaps? OMG DO WANT!

The best kind of keycap on the best kind of tactile keyboard switch.

Original Cherry dye-sub PBT keycaps
Nothing beats the original! Thick, mean and strong plastic, these caps don't wear and don't get shiny as fast as other keycaps.

Original Cherry dye-sub PBT keycaps.

Retro DSA keycaps
Many people got great retro DSA keycaps thanks to matt3o's group buy. Finally you can transform your modern keyboard into a Commodore 64.

The Commodore 64 never looked this good!

Round 4 spherical keycaps
7bit's enormous Round 4 group buy was completed, resulting in lots and lots of keyboard porn.

Round 4 keycaps in full glory.

Topre's HiPro keycaps
The Realforce HiPro ("High-Profile") is a full-size keyboard available in a couple of layouts, sporting high-quality Topre switches and spherical keycaps.

The Realforce 104UG HiPro with US ANSI layout.

voted Round 4 because the king award has to go to Douglas Engelbart, therefore best forum contributor to matt3o and device mod to xwhatsit's beam spring USB controller. simple as that.

Thanks, looks like the most logic result to me.

BTW, I never vote for myself, so I voted for:
APL triple-shot beam spring keycaps

That's completely subtle.

(I voted for it anyway because IBM sphericals really are the best keycaps.)
