I love my k70, I think it basically comes down to appearance

[Aytex]

Corsair has the best software control

Hope this was sarcasm, considering Ducky keyboards are made in Taiwan, while Corsair keyboards are the ones made in China. Not that it should matter, since almost everything you own is made in China.

 

As to the OPs question, I recommend the DS6 over the LUX RGB, I have both keyboards with RGB Blues and the switches QC and stabilizers are leagues better on the DS6. Also getting a K70 with RGB Blues involves signing up for a mailing list and waiting for limited supply.

Hmm, tough call. Corsair has the better software / more modes.

 

However, you can edit profiles using only the keyboard with a ducky.

 

The ducky shine 6, despite being plastic, is really heavy/ strong. I can't get mine to flex.

 

I own a Ducky Shine 6 Snow White Edition (Silver switch), so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The LEDs are really bright on it.

 

My cousin also has a K70, but apparently it has spring noise issues? (Not sure how true that is).

Haha, yeah, when I took of my spacebar I was like...that's kind of the strange looking stabilizer, but it works well. I love this keyboard so far. It makes typing compared to my old membrane a fun task again.

Can you still put any keycap on the DS6 because of its floating design?

Yes, it takes both floating and normal keycaps.

I'd pick the K70 because of the brushed aluminum frame.  Just makes it look so premium.

If Ducky Shines are cheap crap for the Chinese, they must have some insane keyboards over there.

[prysm]

You can't go wrong with either, but I would consider Ducky as being higher build quality.

 

If higher quality RGB software outweighs build quality, then k70 would be the way to go.
