After talking to some OCM proctors, they said this is not officially accepted. The keyboard is a hardware and is even\u00a0listed to them as an item banned during the exam. So you can try to bring yours, but be prepared to not be able to use it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>UPDATE May\/2017<\/strong><\/span>: Now it is very clear that you are not allowed to bring your own keyboard.
