Please vote for nominees for the *Ping* Award 2014. What was the worst keyboard or keyboard/input device related experience in 2014?
You can use a maximum of 5 votes.

This is round 2. This round is used to trim down the suggested nominees from round 1 - the 5 entries with most votes will be promoted to official nominees and make it into the third and final round.

See the first round for reference and motivations.

I sort of hope the banking Kishsaver fiasco wins, just so that an award is presented to that bank president. The "WTF" face he'll make will be priceless.

"Sir! Your actions have annoyed a group of keyboard hobbyists. They're vowing never to do business with your bank again. Most of them, however, are in Europe. THey have presented you with an award for your 'insolence towards classic hardware'."
