Hey Linus Tech Tips,

 

I was wondering what you guys think of Ducky Channels Cherry MX keyboards?  Are they good are they bad?  I was looking at them and they seemed in my price range for a mechanical keyboard. What do you guys think?

Do you guys have a link to a store that sells Ducky keyboards?  I thought about getting their zero series cherry mx red or blacks boards.

It's cheaper and I don't need fancy backlit keys.  As long as the mechanical keyboard does it's job properly I'm all fine. The cherry mx keyboard could be beige for all I care and as long as it was durable and good I would love it.

I'm waiting for the WASD CODE with Clears to release soon. Was gonna buy the Shine but it costs more than the CODE will and I've had great experience with WASD so far.

I don't suggest you buy the zero series. The quality is bad than Shine series.

Thanks for the info!  As I stated before I'm mainly concerned about quality and function.  aesthetics come second.
