I'd rather go for something else in the same price range, but it's probably a good keyboard.

 

The animation they used for the blue switch is actually made by some guy on a forum and he hasn't allowed anyone to use it I think, I'm not 100% sure though.

Case: Fractal Design R4  Motherboard: Asus Z87-Plus  Processor: Intel i7 4770K  GPU: MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X  RAM: Corsair Vengenace Pro 16GB  PSU: Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 10 750W  SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500GB   Monitor(s): LG 24GM77  Keyboard: Logitech G410  Mouse: Zowie EC1-A  Mousepad: Puretrak Talent White Ed.  Headset: Kingston HyperX Cloud II

Yeah, him. Has he allowed them to use it?

No Idea...

 

 

holy balls that is expensive for that also how do u know its legit cherry switch?

 

Edit: u can get a corsair k65 for that which looks way better and better build quality or even a ducky tkl.

The keyboard has been on the market for roughly a year I think.

Also on mine there are these switches:

read carefully... Cherry!

This keyboard has an amazing build quality, I would not be so quick to judge.

If I recall correctly this company OEMs the keyboards for Filco.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

Those keyboards are very legit and very popular currently in the mechanical keyboard enthusiast communities.

Would you say it is worth the price.

I think a small keyboard like this is good only if you really need a small keyboard due to restricted desk space, or if you already have TKL or full sized boards and want something unusual or small. For me, I've had my fill of 104/108 key keyboards, and TKL, so I'm only looking ar 75% and 60% keyboards. Recently got a Vortex KBT Race 2, Cherry Blue, black board with white LED...it's a 75% keyboard.

In addition to this, I've also gotten 2 HHKB Pro 2' and a Leopold FC660C and a Leopold FC660M Cherry Clear.....these are 60% boards like the Poker II. Below is a pic of my Leopold FC660M Cherry Clear on top with the FC660C below it. My HHKB 2's are in the 3rd pic....so far, these are all my smaller keyboards, looking to get a couple more including the Vortex Pure Pro.

FYI, Vortex is completely legit, they use authentic Cherry MX switches unlike Razer which is selling its own Cherry clone Kailh switch which I'd NEVER EVER buy.

Wow. this looks ridiculously similar to a Ducky Keyboard they showed at computex 2013 but never actually published. remember this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb5eNzm7oiY#t=34 ? even the font is exactly the same. i bet it is the same thing, so you probably could expect outstanding quality.

Ducky Mini actually has been out for quite a while now. Although I've heard the availability is bad in the Americas and most of them are sold in Europe and Asia.
