Hey guys, i'm looking for a Ducky Premier DK9008P with Cherry MX Blues and Blue and Grey keycaps. I'm in America and am having one hell of a time finding one. I would be willing to order from a store out of America as long as it isn't outrageously priced. 

Hey guys, especially those of you from the US, give this guy a hand!

I joined the GB over GH months ago

Didn't even know of it was happening.

I saw a lot of your old post over GH, and you does not seem to be active over there anymore

any particular reason?

[Jircal]

Anyone here gaming on Blue switches? Is it really that bad?

not bad by any means. Complete preference.

Only you can tell really. It all comes down to personal preference.

Have you ever tried a blue switch before? If not maybe try lent one of your mates' mechanical keyboard w/ Cherry MX Blues for a day to get a feel of it. Else try get a sampler kit with the different keyswitches to try out what's best for you. :-)

Well the community isn't was it used to be and well there isn't that much development in keyboards at all since their now a commodity due to gaming boards.

Yeah I have used blue switches before, and they felt pretty nice. And I can't borrow my friends' keyboards because they use laptops, sadly

Hmm.. I don't think there're many other options to make sure blue switches is right for you. If you remember them as nice, I would probably go for it.

If you like 'em then by all means go for it! I will ask this though: have you tried any other switches to compare to? If you have then you'll know which you like the feel of best. If not then you've got the option of either sticking with blues if you really like them (honestly, just getting off membrane is what matters) or maybe borrowing or trying some other switches instore (I know that some places don't have them on display - it's like that here) or grabbing a switch tester.

I play with Buckling spring Impossible to accidentally press anything. And for the question about the switches, blues are the second best starter switch. The best if you son't know all the switches when choosing, I would start off with Browns or Blues. They are great.

I was away from online community for the last two-three months due to life

and now as I'm back I can see a lot of new development recently especially from GON

he's starting a wireless mechanical keyboard trend, 

I can get rid of my hate on cables finally

that doesnt really let you get rid of your hate but it does let you get rid of the cable at times lol.

I want to make a wireless 40% at some point

[brokencross]

Not really a riced out board but just got it two days ago.

I wish GON would start making Non-low profile aluminum housings.

 

Would love to see him start offering regular style cases.

I cant even imagine myself using 40%, not even 60%

True, I can tell your hate on the semi-open style switch 

I'm getting rid of my GON, as I feel like I've too many keyboards laying around

but that new special GB for Nerd PCB for my KMAC is enticing

[Charger]

I cant even imagine myself using 40%, not even 60%

I can see myself using one with out a problem but it couldnt be my only keyboard since I feel I need more keys for gaming altough that is probably more in my head then really needing it.

[Toma58uenaventur]

Is there anywhere where I can get the CoolerMaster quickfire rapid with a uk layout?

[rjrider]

Just bought this with MX blue switches http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823129012

[CommonCurt]

Yeah, the whole 40% trend has never looked appealing to me.

 

I've thought about possibly getting one to display my novelty caps on though.   They would also make great switch testers.

It's too expensive to be a switch tester or novelty display lol

This: http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products/inventory/modular-display-storage-kits

Might be a better option, I'm thinking to even frame it and display the most memorable novelty 

 

oh the filco came yesterday

 

Filco Zero by hansen_oe, on Flickr

 

Fukka white alps switch by hansen_oe, on Flickr

 

It feels amazing, just like buckling spring but with more PING

I must give a bittersweet congrats.   The seller listed it as brand new.  Was there any marks or scuffs on it?

It is, looks brand new to me

And the keycaps feel different than today's filco

It has more texture on it

I saw a GE unicomp on eBay the other day, it went so cheap (30$), so many good deals on eBay recently

[exousia7]

Here is my stock Corsair K70 Black/Red with CherryMX Red

 

 

Seriously, Corsair should've just kept that logo on their new keyboards.....

[Axon1988]

Heres my Corsair K70 Black/Red with CherryMX Red but new logo but i have to say it dosent bother me in the slightest as im looking at the screen most of the time and logos are just logos lol
