I've gave into reds. After using my MX Blue for over half a year I went to the store again to hope they had Black keyboards so I can try them out and I didn't like them. I felt that linear keys are more to my preference and reds are my current favorite even after hating them at the beginning. So I've now narrowed down between the K70 and Ducky, any suggestions?

It's personally which one you should go with I would go with a ducky personally it's just the matter of which one you like they both have good quality and both are great keyboards.

Ducky because i've had nothing but good experiences with them though the Corsair has very good reviews on it. So really it just comes down to personal preference and how you feel about each keyboard, as they can be very personal things.

Both are good, but if you need macros and specialized media keys, perhaps the K70. Ducky's a more basic KB with secondary 'Fn' media, brightness and mode keys, what I love about Ducky, Filco and Topre is that they do not require any software to be installed to run well. Even when I use KBs that come with bloatware, I choose not to install it relying on Windows generic driver which does the job for me. Wait for Ducky Shine III if you're inclined that way, it's expected out next month.
