26 | 28 | <p>As Jack and Skullydazed continue to blur the lines between computer keyboards and musical keyboards, we thought it would be fun to host a little musical contest for the meetup! We understand that not everyone can <a href=https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/796uan/planck_music_hits_vol_1/>cover The Final Countdown on their planck</a>, so we are opening this up to any sounds made by a keyboard!</a></p>
