The nominees in the category Best commercial keyboard 2015 are:

JUSTSYSTEMS x REALFORCE 108UW-HiPro • JUSTSYSTEMS (frequent collaborators with Topre) released this new HiPro keyboard. Similar to the Korean 104UK HiPro model, this is the first HiPro board with the delicious Topre red 'Esc' key.

KBParadise V80MTS/V80FD • The KBP V80 MTS and the KBP V80 FD are tenkeyless (TKL) computer keyboards from KBParadise that use Matias switches and white Fukka (or, later renamed, to Fuhua) switches.

Ortholinear Keyboards Planck keyboard • The Planck Keyboard is a small, 40% (4x12) keyboard with non staged keys. It is sold assembled or as kit. Unusual, it is available in both Cherry MX and ALPS versions.

Vortex POK3R • The Vortex POK3R is a fully programmable 60% keyboard with Cherry MX switches, a low profile cast aluminum case and DIP switches to switch between different layouts.

Topre’s high profile (Hi-Pro) spherical keycaps are noted for their reduced hand travel away from the home row and their cupped keycaps reduce the chance of finger slips.

Unsurprisingly, I don't know anything about all this newfangled stuff 8) . Congrats to the Topre though!

So, hang on, last year we couldn't come up with one good full-size keyboard, and now a full-sizer (and not a KFC marketing stunt, and one of only two nominated actually) wins the combined category? :p
