There's only 4 mouse finalists, and two of them are yours. So, I think that Team Keyboard won this time.

As I live in Sweden, 23:59 California time was 9 in the morning. Now it's 17:17. If I don't get to now if I won soon, I'll explode. And I mean it.

lol I think I suffer from "acute waiting syndrome" (which I just made up btw, is purely coincidental if its a real medical condition). Might have happened to you, its like you check the page every few hours, then it gets worse and you check it every hour, then every 30 min, and then 15, and in extreme cases end up reloading the page again and again and again... Havnt gotten that far yet. Sorry you didnt win though! Its a good project!

Well, ive actually never won anything off of instructables, so the above sentence is logically false....

In the "view entries" you can sort by some categories, rating, recents, views... is ok, i understand this but... could somebody explain to me what is the meaning of sort by "instructable"?...

Mar 10, 2011. 12:52 PMastroboy907 says:

check now..
Maybe its between step by step ibles vs. video or photo entry's

furri says:

i'm learning a lot with my first instructable... i didn't read this until now.

"Finalists - Half of the finalists are determined by the user votes, and the other half are determined by Instructables staff. It's our own checks and balances system. Then it's on to the..."

it don't depends on voting exclusively... good point i think.

Mar 8, 2011. 3:39 PM

furri says:

This is my first instructable and my first contest.... so, i don't know when the contest is finish and they publish the results, where is the info about this?, i can't find in info or the official rules.

thanks

Mar 9, 2011. 9:39 AMastroboy907 says:

It should be finished about sometime tomorrow. They should then post finalists, judge the winners, and post the on the contest page. And you'll most likely get a PM of whether you won or not :)

Mar 9, 2011. 10:03 AMastroboy907 says:

oh dang it, sorry bout that, misinformation. looked at the email and it says
"After the contest closes for entries on the night of Mar. 6, 2011, it will be up for user voting from Mar. 7 - Mar. 9 Winners will be announced soon after judging closes on Mar. 14."
so looks like march 14-15.

Hehe, the Ides of march :)

Alas, I have kept far too busy for contests lately... I had a couple of fun ideas for this one too.

Mar 7, 2011. 11:55 AMastroboy907 says:

I have an extra keyboard from after the contest... Mind sharing your couple of fun ideas? If not, I can always make a wallet (which would pretty much seal my status as geek permanently)

Feb 21, 2011. 4:57 AMThe Skinnerz says:

there should be an option to enter it into any of the current competitions when you come to publish it.

11

Feb 22, 2011. 5:05 PMpenandsword says:

I'm pretty sure that there is that option. When I published both of my instructables, I just scrolled down and clicked on the contest I wanted to to enter and it did it for me.

Feb 22, 2011. 7:14 PM

Hiyadudez says:

He knew that, he was saying that it should be there if he looks.

Oh yeah, we were saying the same thing. I was trying to reply to fishinigami, but replied to The Skinnerz by mistake.

Mar 2, 2011. 7:08 PM

hightekrednek2396 says:

is it 8 winners total or 8 winners for keyboard and 8 for mouse

Feb 28, 2011. 6:59 PM

sillyzombie666 says:

i just had a perfect idea for an entry but i broke the mouse and the darn parts i wanted to use are to big n i broke the smaller one weeks ago. so if some one wants to make this let me know it requires simple soldering some wires and a few easy to get parts if you have a junk bin

8

Mar 1, 2011. 8:34 AMastroboy907 says:

Ill take it :)

Mar 2, 2011. 4:01 PMastroboy907 says:

dang it nvr mind... no mouse :) oops!

Mar 1, 2011. 7:30 PM

fishinigami says:

ok, this may be a stupid question, but if two people work on the same project together and they both post an instructable on it is that ok?
its still one entry per person but its the same one...

and should one of us win would we both win or would the prize be sent to only one of us (whoever wrote the winning ible)?

Mar 1, 2011. 8:25 PM

fungus amungus (author) says:

If they're the same project? Only one would win and there would be just one prize. You could also enter that as a collaboration.

DJ Radio says:

What would determine the winner if they were the same?

Mar 2, 2011. 3:36 PM

fungus amungus (author) says:

The exact same? We'd flip a coin.

Mar 1, 2011. 8:36 AMastroboy907 says:

Anybody got any ideas at all? I got a PS/2 keyboard and a mouse somewhere.Also I want to see how many projects I can get out of one keyboard, I bet I can get a good 3 or 4 at least. PM me if you have ideas!!!

Feb 26, 2011. 11:39 PMtobyscool says:

Can i enter 2 or more instructables in this contest?
