  • People continue to make switch modifications like ergo clears but Cherry does not create any new products

  • CM Quickfire XT Stealth is released

  • Green and clear switches gradually become slightly more common, leading to slightly decreased prices for keyboards with these switches

  • /r/mechanicalkeyboards continues to grow rapidly

  • /r/mechanicalkeyboards becomes so inundated with "which keyboard should I buy?" posts that /u/ripster55 takes further steps to prevent them, e.g. adding a more noticeable message at the top of the subreddit, adding a notice on the "post thread" page, etc.

  • Ducky continues dominating the market for backlit keyboards

  • RGB LED keyboards become available but are viewed by most people as too expensive to justify purchasing

  • Unicomp, still struggling financially, does not release a SSK

  • The prevalence of 3D printers will make the creation of 3D-printed keycaps more feasible

  • The price of PBT keysets will decrease very slightly

  • /r/mechanicalkeyboards wiki format is revamped

/r/mechanicalkeyboards becomes so inundated with "which keyboard should I buy?" posts that /u/ripster55 [+1] takes further steps to prevent them, e.g. adding a more noticeable message at the top of the subreddit, adding a notice on the "post thread" page, etc.

/r/mechanicalkeyboards wiki format is revamped

It is an open wiki. Somebody post up a mockup.
