Where are you getting this information? Looks is very subjective thing. People like different things. The build quality is good, who told you that it's not?

might be subjective but it doesn't look close to corsair or razer build quality wise, and as i said the looks are not what i search for

so if you do not have other suggestions then it doesn't get me further ^^

build quality. 

funny thing... ducky is way better in that than most major keyboard makers, especially if you compare it to someone like corsair or razer

 

and we haven't even started on cherry being the golden standard... because it's far from it since they lost their patent

doesn't look like it though. But even if they were better build quality wise their looks don't look interesting to me sadly. it doesn't make me thing wauw that looks good. compared to the corsair k95 or steelseries apex pro. but sadly the steel serie is as i said about 50 over budget.

again ducky just doesn't sit with me. so if you dont have another one that could peak my interest within my budget than it won't change my mind. i'm sorry but ducky is just not what interests me. and i looked at allot of it on tweakers. none of them interest me.

My first suggestion would be to start looking outside of NL and include some European shops. Some keyboards get manufactured in really low quantities and might be sold out pretty fast.

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/peripherals/keyboards

https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/category/mechanical-keyboards_3/

https://candykeys.com/

https://www.maxgaming.com/

UK in general seems to have the most shops for mechanical keyboards/parts. Just make sure you get the correct layout (does NL have special keys UK-ISO doesnt have?!?!) and dont pay to much for shipping, but Candykeys should be free above 50€ and mykeyboard charges 5€ for shipping to NL.

 

Also you could get a Wooting One, eventhough some people dont like the ABS keycaps I really like mine and their company is based in Arnhem.

 

P.S.: I understand that you dont like the Ducky's looks and I see it as a valid reason to not buy one but just for the record: The build quality of my Ducky One is superior to every keyboard from the major brands that I tested in an electronics store.

ah damm  you responded right as i was done typing my comment  

i decided to go with the k95 rgb platinum. sadly they didnt have the gunmetal version so i just went with the black version. managed to get it for 165 euros. so 5 euros cheaper then the budget thanks to honey

 

love their coupon codes haha

I type too slow

 

K95 seems like a good choice, especially for that price
