Ow damn seriously? I've always thought Ducky had good quality control D= Now i'm worried my incoming blue 9008 might have problems.

Lol yeah the inconsistency on the LEDs are quite obvious. Btw is that black on black or are they blanks? Can't tell o.O

I'm quite disturbed by Edifier's statement too, having a fluctuation of build quality by Cherry doesn't sound right, especially if it's region based.

Looks like Ducky has just recently announced their new line of 9008 G2 product.

Here it is; http://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/products1-5.html

Apparently they are now using "embedded" keycaps with no printings on them o.O Looks sexy as hell if you'd ask me <(^.^<)<(^.^)>(>^.^)>

Wow that's the first time I've heard of a ducky dying o.O I assume it did not show any symptoms?

Guys, wanna ask if these keycaps are compatible with Ducky's.

Excellent! Thanks

I'm tumpanging with a bunch of my friends, so yeah, hopefully it will cut the cost

Why not just spend a little extra and get a Ducky 9008?

I highly recommend you getting the 9XXX series, as the built quality is far more superior than the 1XXX series, not to mention the price different is quite insignificant and it suits your budget.

Is the Filco USB-NKRO ?

Black Widow
-Blue switches
-Glossy finish
-Macro keys

SS 6Gv2
-Black switch
-Textured plastic finish
-No macro keys

Performance-wise, depends on what type of switches does the user prefer. As for quality, many people have been complaining about the rubberized surface of the keycaps of the black widow fading after a while.

In my opinion, I would say SS 6Gv2 has better quality overall, not to mention that the glossy finish of the black widow will attract scratches if not taken care of carefully.

However do take into consideration the SS 6Gv2 lacks macro keys, which might prove useful if you play MMOs.

SS 6Gv2 has superior quality imo. I've tried using both before and the SS has a much more solid feel to it.

Wow seriously? This is the first time I've heard of the deterioration of the functionality of cherry switches lol.

You could check the garage sales section.

Can i head over there to 'play play' and 'touch touch' your stock? =OOOO

I'm quite sure you will be able to find some Duckies on PCHome. A bunch of my friends just got like 3-4 1008s from there a few weeks ago.

So awesome to hear that! Be sure to take lotsa pictures of dem keys ^.^

That's a real beauty, kEazYc. Might I ask, are the keycaps ABT or PBS? I'm still unsure of how the two materials differ in terms of feel and texture. I myself have just order 2 sets of blank PBT whites and reds that should be arriving some time this week.
