Please vote for your winner of the Best relic or discovery 2015.

By voting in this category you can win an Ergo Pro or a Secure Pro keyboard from Matias!

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

The final round ends on Monday 14 December, 20:00hrs UTC. You can change your vote until the end of the round. The winner and full results will be released soon after the vote closes. EDIT: The winner has been announced here.

The official nominees are:

Ettasian's G80-0081 / Berthold ADS 3000 keyboard
Oh man, this keyboard is a battleship! One of the oldest keyboards by Cherry, produced for a company called Berthold. What a great find!
Not for HHKB fans.

HaaTa's find of Cherry 01APBSW switches
Is it the original Cherry keyboard switch? Not designed by Walter Cherry Jr. but the design is likely derived from a similar earlier switch.

Behold, snap-action (clicky) keyboard switches from 1959!

HaaTa's HP 15254A Keypad
The HP 15254A Keyboard is a fantastically over engineered HP specimen from the Seventies. Just look at that thing!

What is all this stuff?

Photekq's Cherry G81-3011SBU - The Ultimate Olivetti
His favourite single find to date, an Olivetti keyboard with original Cherry dyesubs in ANSI layout. Genuine Cherry dyesubs, the first of its kind he has seen.

Elegant and beautiful Olivetti in dyesub glory.

Scottc's 10x NIB Cherry G81-3000SATs
Scottc found 10 NIB Cherry G81-3000SAT keyboards with dye-sublimated Czech-layout PBT keycaps, which make up about the vast majority of the G81-3000SATs in the hands of collectors today.

Scottc made some collectors very happy.
