How to RMA leh? I bought it from SG

The coloured keycaps are awesome too bad they are not printed.. I wanted non printed blank keycaps but when it's used by my mom it will be painful cause she is afraid to key in password with blank key..

I can do soldiering (even have all required tools) but over new keyboard like this..

The seller promised 1-1 exchange but need to travel down again to sg.. a bit troublesome

White is my colour..

The scratch is barely noticeable haha.. I rarely look at my keyboard

If anyone getting any fancy keycaps let me know might be interested

If I can get this I'm gonna sell away my ducky hehe

The filco blank caps is selling at $79.90, did not state which material..

If I were to courrier my keyboard over to SG how much would that cost?

After a week of try, I conclude that the white and black colour Ducky 9008 gave a different tactile feel when you type on.

Initially I preferred the black more because I have got used to it, after a week I find myself preferring the white one. The differences is that the black is slight harder while the white is softer but still have the tactile return.

The white ducky feels like red switch with the tactile

Added on September 12, 2011, 12:46 pmCheapest Mech Keyboard I can think of Ducky 1009, was selling less than RM200 excluding shipping before this

The Slightly better range cost around RM300+ which all my mech keyboards cost at that range
Ducky 9008, Leopald FCR500 (I recommend getting this very worthy for the price you pay),

RM400+
Filco, Cherry

and the list goes on

The most widely available mech keyboard
- Razer Blackwidow. I dislike Razer for their poor QC thus not recommending it.


First you must know what you would want
Tactile feedback?
Harder or lighter keystroke register?
Please refer to page one.

For keycaps and other customisation you will not need it first.
After that set on your budget and go on

Well we cant push aside there's good quality membrane keyboard as well.. Although the trend now is the more bling, the keyboard can sell more. Even if the keyboard is so much more expensive

NKRO is only good for advertising, in real keyboard typing experiencee there's much more other things that matters such as the durability, typing tactile preferences, back lighting (important for some), NKRO (hardly matters for most people).

Most people buy expensive gaming gear to show that they "can"

Updated my signature to reflects my Mech keyboard, hehe.. Hope that I can get my ducky to be replaced else I will have to void the warranty and fix up that damn LED

Taiping and lumut is not too far apart la.. if you have the transport.. hehe

I didn't go there but I have 3 mech keyboards now haha. 2 of them sitting in their original box and not using ... my parents not used to the none printed ...

can get full size too?

wa.. i felt like get 1 pink de.. looks so different haha

Filco pink, wanna get one.. but seems kinda difficult

They still have the pink one? hehe or u order it via special delivery?

very interested too haha

Soon or later all gaming keyboard will be mechanical i believe.. thanks to the hype haha

I opened up my ducky 9008, need some information how to repair my failed LED

When the LED is light on (Connected parallel with another keyboard)

When CAPLOCKS LED On - Multimeter measured 1.2v
When SCROLL LOCK LED On - Mutlimeter measured 1.2v
When NUMPAD LED On - Multimeter measured 0.9V on the failing LED

When it's off All terminal report 0v measurement

Does that indicate a dead LED? I thought it's a lousy soldering job and c causes bad contact but actually the board have some very neat soldering job!

On Windows, I have 2 Ducky 9008, I connect them together at the same time,
As those key sync with pc,

when you press cap lock on the other keyboard, the other caplock would light up too,
I can confirm that the other keyboard LED is working, measured with a multimeter it return a different reading too

wont 2x1.5V excessive for the LED? I would try it later, thanks for the tips for measuring LED.

I work in Automotive lighting industry we only measure LED in forward voltage actually.

In the case of broken LED I would be in a headache too.. since the LED is only like.. 2 or 3mm
