Going for an industrial type look with the orange, black and the zinc caps...
pretty happy with the unlit look too - cue the hero photo, more on Flickr if you want to look.

Deadline for new entries will be Wednesday 08/01/2012 (August first two-thousand-and-twelve) 1 pm EST (16:00 GMT).
No changes in deadline after today, barring unforeseen circumstances.
So this means you only have a few days until we will no longer accept entries.
Good luck to everyone.

Fun contest ^^
Jumping in with this as my entry
edit: thought it'll be too selfish of me to hog all four 2NE1 characters, so I'm editing some of them out, just in case any of my friends want to include them in their entry as well =)

Spoiler:
Keyboard is a custom ordered red wood Filco (just to clarify that it is not self-modded).
Some of the keycaps are just concept mock-ups.
This is what the actual keyboard looks like as of now:
Rainbow caps are photoshopped in cos I had everything done right and thought of having them in at the last minute
But the keycaps do exist... the pastel ones are bought as a full 104 set, while the others are self-dyed.
And the weird guy for the twiddle key was very much real too
Gave it to a local distributor where I got most, and more importantly, my first mechanical keyboard from. So I no longer have it in my possession but felt the need to photoshop it in
The four cartoon barbie-like dolls, are from a Korean girlband, 2NE1, with their body and black-eyes edited out.
A bunch of us ordered them together. And each of us are given a matching avatar
Although not part of the group, we had one for the weird dude too
Mostly an internal joke but just a little something (not so "little" cos we did spent months for this) we organized to bring some color to our little forum
Webwit should know us
And possibly Ripster too, to a lesser extent?
Good luck to everyone!

@ Djuzuh
Thanks, Djuzuh ^^
Might make it a reality if I have time to make a vector out of it ^^
@ fossala
The Street Fighter keys are my favorite caps ^^ and yup, Chinese dyesubs
@ 002
Ah, tilde key... been always calling it a twiddle key *oops* but spot on, 002!
Didn't expect many of you would recognize him.
@ The_Ed
Who would
Look what this thread has turned into
Just so we don't get derailed too far off, shall we start guessing what keyboard is under his rivet-covered leather glove there

Stuck in the middle of nowhere. I won't get the renders for my entry done in time. Oh well, better luck next time.
GL to the contestants, there were many lovely boards posted.
You have less than 24hours to submit an entry. You will also have to make sure you only have one entry in the giveaway. We don't need more work sorting through entries and having to message you, and then wait for your reply.

I will enter my Steelseries 7G with white PBT caps. I didn't like how even though it was engraved I really couldn't read the text so I used a .3 lead pencil to fill in the engravings. I think it turned out better than I expected it to, and cleans pretty easily too. I also have higher resolution versions if requested but there isn't much more to see, it was just a time consuming mod for practicality not really to be showy.
Wish I could have my completed KBT Pure with Pink LEDs and ergo clears done in time. Oh well maybe for the next giveaway.

Congrats to all winners!
I never expected my simple Filco to be mentioned honourably
I hope I recieve something I don't have so far.
If not, I will give it away to someone in the raffle who didn't won anything. Sounds fair?

Now that I've had some sleep I have to say this: There were just too many awesome entries. We had a really hard time picking ones that we both liked. That's also why we are sending out gifts to 9 honorable mentions as well as the winners!
Next time I hope to get over 100 entries ! (we got a little over 60 entries in total this time)
Thanks again for entering, and please don't hesitate to do a little dance when you see this thread and all the winners )

I just got some messages out to people. It's slightly difficult to remember to check both sites every day, but nothing important happened, and I am still waiting for some of the honorable mentions to get back to me before I ship everything out.
Please get back to me about your address if you haven't already.
Posted: 10 Aug 2012, 08:08

I got all the honorable mentions packed and ready to go, but I still need to wait for the skull from net2522 and the tsangan kit before I can send out the prizes for megnin and cyngguru.
The winners if the keyboards have been forwarded to demik, who will deal with those prizes.
I hope people will post what they get in the mail . I didn't send any special message with the packages. In retrospect I guess I should have so you would know what you got, but my Philly address is on there, so that should make it a little more clear.
