Ducky or Corsair?

[nivra552]

I was thinking of waiting for the new RGB keyboard of Corsair but was also thinking of just buying a Ducky Shine 3 green led and blue switch.. What do you guys recommend?

Not the Ducky, I'd get a K70 RGB soon.

Are they really better than Ducky?

I love the build quality of the ducky boards.

I have the regular K70 and the build quality is faultless. I've heard Corsair has had some problems with their blue and white LEDs in the past though so maybe wait a little to see how reliable the RGB ones turn out to be? The Brown and Blue switch versions only launch in August, so by then any quality control issues should be apparent.

Corsair FTW

You're evil!

 

Anyway,I've heard everyone saying that both Corsair and Ducky have awesome build quality.

Corsair wins out for me because their boards both look better and have more useful features like a dedicated section for media controls.

Might as well wait for the Corsair K70 RGB

If you can swallow the 170 USD MSRP on the K70 RGB, then go with that keyboard.

 

I love my K70. The aluminium finish looks sleek, and I don't really mind that the LEDs are stuck to being just red when the rest of my build is blue and would much rather save the money than having a customizable backlight, in my humble opinion.

It depends if you want some dedicated media controls. Those are what sold me. They look better and are super simple to use.

Ducky is built better and has better keycaps.  But if you really want rgb or the look of corsiar they are not bad.

No, Ducky keyboards are built like tanks and come in any key switch and led light, if you want green leds and red switchs you can get it, if you want white leds and brown switches you can get it, or whatever you want. Corsair only uses red switches which quite frankly are terrible, way to mushy in my opinion.

Thats subjective, the shine 2 and 3 both have simple, clean, elegant designs. Unlike most keyboards they aren't overly flashy. Corsair is ok, but I don't like them because corsair has a hard on for red switches (the worst imo).

[Silent_Xaxal]

Either are good, though I'd appreciate the Ducky solely because I won't need another keyboard for years.
