Please vote for nominees for the *Ping* Award 2015. What was the worst keyboard or keyboard/input device related experience in 2015?

You can use a maximum of 4 votes.

This is round 2. This round is used to trim down the suggested nominees from round 1 - the 4 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.
The second round ends on Wednesday 9 December, 00:00hrs UTC. You can change your vote until the end of the round. The full results will be published at the end of the Awards.

I forgot to nominate Massdrop for their small print conditions which state that the conditions can be changed at any time without notification. Catch 22!

I'd like to add another charge to MassDrop's nomination: ever tried loading their site with JavaScript disabled? 7bit never even sees a pixel!
