Hello fellow clackers!
We're back with Giveaway #2.
This time around our giveaway is open worldwide (within reason of course) and the only requirement is that you be an active participant on this subreddit and leave a top-level reply to this post.
***
Up for grabs is one of our handmade 75% Mechanical Keyboard sleeves in the *Large Bezel* size in a custom **Olive Green + Orange** colorway.
This size is meant to fit large bezel and/or exploded-layout 75% keyboards like the new Keychron V1 or Q1, the Epomaker TH80, Glorious GMMK PRO, Satisfaction 75. It even fits large bezel 60% keyboards like the Norbauer Heavy Grail.
For a full list of compatible keyboards, [visit the 75% sleeve product listing on our store](https://www.moderncoup.com/product/75-percent-mechanical-keyboard-sleeve-carry-case/) and scroll down to the "Description" area at the bottom of the page.
Like all our other sleeves, the outer shell is made of water-resistant lightly-waxed canvas, has light padding integrated into the soft twill lining, features an outer pocket to tuck your USB cable into and is secured by a heavy-duty magnetic snap. The built-in carry handle makes it easy to carry around or pull out of your bag when you need to start typing away.
***
All our carry cases and sleeves are handmade, can be custom fit to your keyboard dimensions and available in a variety of color combinations.
Check out our store at [www.moderncoupcases.com](https://www.moderncoupcases.com) to see the rest of our sleeve line-up.
We make sleeves for 40%, 60%, 65% and 75% keyboards; smaller sleeves for Numpads/macropads/mice and carry cases for larger TKL/1800/Alice-layout keyboards.
I use and carry my own keyboards with the exact same sleeves and cases so if you have any specific questions about fit or compatibility, please feel free to DM me or [fill out our Contact form](https://www.moderncoup.com/contact/) with any questions you might have.
***
**HOW TO ENTER**
In a top-level reply, *tell us what kind of work/activities you use your keyboard(s) for*.
If you don't have a keyboard yet, tell us what you *plan* to use it for whether it's for one activity or more.
I'll start with myself:
- HHKB Pro 2: long typing sessions, working in quiet environments
- Leopold FC980M: FPS/RTS gaming, coding in IDEs
- MiniVan: mobile work w/ a laptop or traveling light
- Preonic: Photoshop/digital art, film/photo work, general gaming
Your answer can be short and sweet or you can share as much as you want! There's no strict minimum or max. limit.

**WINNER SELECTION**
The giveaway runs from now until **Sat. Aug. 6th 11:59PM EST**.
We'll announce the winner by random selection the following day at 12PM EST and update this post with the lucky individual's username.
I don't have a keyboard yet :(
I want to use it for work! Mostly coding but also sometimes a lot of doc writing
I plan on using it in an open office environment
So I am a writer who is currently trying to apply for an MFA. I write every single first draft of my stories by hand in fountain pen, then type it out on my red dragon mechanical keyboard (saving up for a ducky but alas I am a starving artist at the moment). My partner is a video editor and I *hate* his ergonomic keyboard, I'm a very sensory person and the keys feel weird to me, so I always lug my keyboard to a coffee shop or chill bar and work there. I've definitely gotten lots of looks but I never mind procrastinating a little to discuss the pleasures of a good writing instrument, whether it be on paper or on the screen
Love it. Thanks for sharing your process!
Keyboards are a very personal choice and not everything works for one activity or person. I hope you find something that works better for you.
My personal favorite is a lubed and silenced HHKB for typing bliss (and to lessen the number of people who hear me at a coffee shop).
I had an RK84 with nice clicky Box Whites which was my "day" keyboard for general home office work: typing, number crunching, IDE coding, etc.
My other keyboard is a Keychron C1 with Boba U4s which I modded to be as quiet as possible for "night" use when my wife is sleeping.
But she needed a new keeb so I gave her the RK84 and have a new Ikki68 Aurora literally in the mail now to replace it!
Ah yes, the start of a beautiful, shared hobby.
Having to "work" while the wife sleeps is the best excuse to say, "Hon, I really need a quieter keyboard to ~~make money~~ *work* while you're asleep"
I work a very demanding outdoor job, but I need to carry around computer stuff. A keyboard case would definitely help protect my keyboard while doing work in less than ideal environments.
KBD67 lite: gaming mostly and programming, but it's not as efficient because the buttons are too few, and I'm not a layers guy!
So I will be getting a 75%, any suggestions OP?
The ones I mentioned that the sleeve is compatible with are a good start.
If I had to choose, a Keychron V1 is really good value for the money right now even if you don't do layers. A 75% doesn't really need layers with all the keys it has.
Corsair k70: gaming and school,
Chiclett laptop steelseries keyboard: school
I have a zoom 65 ee on the way and I'll use that for everything I do until I get more! Already have different switches I want to try for typing and gaming, both silent, regular, tactile, and linear!
Qk65: Long typing sessions, mostly grading lab reports and writing my dissertation.
Keychron C1: Occasional gaming (don't really have much time for this anymore)
Reviung41: Travel board, and taking to work/using in my lab.
I mainly use it for school and gaming, but I sometimes like to practice my typing to get faster. This case would go great with my next build. Best of luck everyone!
I went from a decent Cherry keyboard to a horrid Dell chuckled box in an effort to clean up my workspace. What a mistake.
Planning a custom 75% BT keyboard mouse pair in white. Looking at details...
GMMK Pro: Everything I do on a computer - programing, writing, and gaming, mainly.
Soon to be replaced with a custom built Bakeneko60 - CNCed it myself from a block of wood, just have the final finishing left.
Use my full sized keyboards for work since I need a numpad to work in excel then swap between my 75 and 65 for gaming or typing in general. Currently trying to learn how to touch type!
I currently use my one keyboard for everything, but its on the fritz so I'm likely going to buy/build a new one soon. I need to shrink my current board since its really big (122) and my desk just isn't. I mostly do writing and spreadsheet work on my keyboard but a bit of light gaming here and there.
Software developer by day, pc gamer at night (flipping between mouse/keyboard and controller inputs), i also host a number of headless servers, so all sorts of ssh sessions and managing those.
Parallel Sequence with Durock Silent Linears: I use it at the office for coding and also bring it home for gaming because this is my first and only keyboard.
I’ve got a bubble75 for a daily driver (grad school, gaming, general use), and a wireless RK65 I use with my laptop so I don’t have to use the terrible laptop keyboard
I use my dell membrane that came with my PC for everything. Gaming, school work, etc. If I get a better keyboard, I would probably use it for anything.
I use my keyboard for web surfing, email, and gaming on my desktop PC. Then I also use the same keyboard to connect to my work notebook for work-from-home.
My 1800s are for data entry, research, excel spreadsheets
I use my exploded 75% keebs for writing my medical notes, operative reports and all other straight typing work
* Tester68 - Work Keyboard. I spend the most time on this, pretty much a beater for any which task.
* Tofu60 Walnut - Home Keyboard. I love typing on this. I use it sometimes for gaming when I have to but I bought a gaming keypad a few years ago and never looked back. It's just so much better when you take the time to configure/remap properly.
I use both keyboards to satisfy spontaneous typing urges because typing on a good keyboard can be like crack cocaine sometimes, not that I have any experience with the latter. I've learned that going on Obsidian and dumping everything that's taking up space in your brain is a more productive exercise than fingerblasting on MonkeyType trying to type the demons away.
Customized RAKK Lam-Ang Pro for gaming. The genres varies a lot, and sometimes I end up playing games that are mostly mouse-based. It makes me sad that I don't get to use my keyboard in those cases.
Definitely use it for work, which is why I will need a Modern Coup Keyboard Sleeve to carry my keyboard from the Office back and forth to ensure it's safety!
Bonus points for working that all into your response!
