Posted March 19, 2014 I'm confused, will this be different than the already existing Ducky Mini, or is that teaser all the information we've got? It's different from the past Ducky Mini.

Posted March 19, 2014 What's the point in Cherry MX Reds? The fact that they're mechanical? They don't seem that much different from regular membrane keyboards. their completely linear and not mushy? Also you can actuate them with only half press. besides that they are much more durable and reliable. UPDATED An enthusiasts guide to video feat.

Posted March 19, 2014 They may not necessarily go to razer, with Razer selling Kailh switches, perhaps other companies would approach them for switches. For me, it's either Cherry MX and Topre or nothing. I'd not touch a keyboard with 'Razer' switch with a ten foot pole! No Buckling springs or white alps :'( White alps are probably my favorite switches at the moment... But I haven't tried Topre....... Yet =3 PROFILEYEAH What do people even put in these things?

Yet =3 If you'd check my sig, I do have a Model M and I do love it, but it's a tad loud (NOT saying I dislike the unique sound it makes) It's just that it's big, bigger than the usual 104/108 keyboards from Ducky and Filco. I am curious about Matias keyboards which uses ALPS as well......might get around to actually buying one later. Now, I'm eyeing the Duck Mini and KBT Pure Pro....

Posted March 19, 2014 Well, the only Duck Mini I have heard of is the Nordic version. I have not seen any ANSI type layout Duck Mini....at least where the 'Enter' or 'Return' key is concern. I am curious to see what the teaser is all about, guess we will find out soon enough.... I guess I forgot to mention that, I've only seen it with an ISO layout as well. It's different from the past Ducky Mini. From their new teaser, you seem to be right. NAS build log: Gimli, a NAS build by Shaqalac.

Posted March 19, 2014 I just read all the pages (in some days tho lol), Im from Argentina and here is kinda difficult to get MKB's :CAll that I got to my disposal are:- Corsair K70 Black with Red LED and MX Reds with US layout - Razer Blackwidow w/ Mx Blues and spanish layout- Steelseries 6Gv2 w/ Mx Reds and spanish layout (tho I don't like it very much, too simple, I would like a keyboard with Media Keys) The Steelseries 7G and the Blackwidow Ultimate are too expensive here I think Im gonna wait for the Corsair RGB one, so nice. And im think im gonna have to go with US Layout and get used to it Sorry if I don't express my self well D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play fps and I would like double taping to be easy.. On Functions and features; I would like a kb with dedicated media keys like the K70 one, and fully backlit, but I CAN get used to the fn key in other keyboards tho.. In my town they don't sell MKB's so I can't try the switches (also I can't import tech stuffs here ._. customs take 50% off the original USD value when I import something, and here the USD is awful expensive and no easy to get) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 20, 2014 today I got my CM quickfire rapid, and I hate to sound like a broken record with everyone else, but this keyboard is a fantastic value. now i've got my O-rings on the way ($1.87 with prime) and I can't wait. my only complaint is that the backing of the keyboard does have a bit of a ring, and I am tempted to take the keyboard apart and see how I can dampen that so that there is no ring when the key bottoms out.

You got dat "ping". You can put some shelf liner or sheet foam in the bottom of the case and it should get rid of most if not all of it. Like this.

Posted March 20, 2014 Whoo orings, everyone should use them I say! especially when amazon has them for $1.87 and ships them with prime. I ordered them less than 12 hours ago and I already have confirmation of them on my doorstep. I'm pretty sure that they paid more to ship them. http://www.amazon.com/008-Buna-N-O-Ring-Durometer-Black/dp/B000FMWLR8/ref=pd_sim_sbs_indust_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=07M8MHDYYA9Z5SKF2TA9 they're of the harder variety. 70A, but for the price, you can't beat that when you're looking to shorten reset distance.

I have only tried Cherry MX Browns and Blacks on a everyday basis, have only tried Cherry MX Blues very briefly. Reds and blacks is alike, blacks are just a bit heavier than reds. I think it's all about personal preferences and adjustment. When you get a new mechanical keyboard it will feel strange and different no matter what switch you get it with. Sucks that import prices are so ridiculous. Whoa. That looks much different then I expected. Indeed, can't wait for it to be fully revealed. NAS build log: Gimli, a NAS build by Shaqalac.

Posted March 20, 2014 I just got my first mechanical keyboard, and I can't stop typing on it. Prior to this, my only experience was with membrane-based keyboards and--rarely--my dad's old IBM Model F in the basement. I just bought a Ducky Zero (DK2108S) with Cherry MX Blue switches and a blue backlight. I figured I'd come on here to share this because I don't know of many other places that particularly care about/will allow my enthusiasm to show. I should have ended this post a few lines ago, but it's just soooooo much fun to type on this thing and I am just sooooo excited to be doing it that I could potentially ramble on forever, though I will probably end it soon so as not to annoy anybody. Oh God, after I go back to school after spring break, my roommate is going to absolutely hate me. --Penis size, like resolution, is just a number-- --Hail GabeN-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
