hello everyone 

long time no see, dudes.

I'd buy a new keyboard ,ducky DK9008G2 red switch

after filco brown, im interested about red switch, tats why i buy ducky red !

ok lets share my pictures.


1. the keycaps really looks like dirty one = =
2. red switch not really as good as ppl saying. but im still enjoy it. such a good switch.
3. keyboard comes with PBT material keycaps. dunid to order from taobao and wait for shipment.
4. Shift, spacebar, capslock, enter and other big keys are not being crispy like filco. maybe becoz of (satellite axis)? i duno how to spell tis, correct me if i made a mistake.
5. no ghosting under USB/PS-2.    can use @ laptop
6. Red color box, looks nice.

btw, it is worth buying. Compare to filco, both also nice keyboard.

Spoiler or resize your pictures will be better...

1. Brown fonts, AKA burn mark of black PBT.
2. Linear(+ light) switch for sure will feel weird when you first try it. Use it for longer time and you may start enjoy it.
3. Colored PBT how?
4. Cherry style of stabiliser(AKA fake switch), easier for removal(to swap keycaps) but feel stiffer and weirder.
5. USB NKRO, free to test if any "ghosting"?(KRO =/= no ghosting)
6. agree

price 439 what the fish?!
i can get a PBT KBC Poker Red with 280+ then get some better cables etc and still have extra cash for other stuff :S

walaoyeh...

It's too expensive already. i saw it during taiwan biz trip was most at TWD2900 +/-. Means RM310+/-..

Harro,

I cannot decide between the CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid Red and the Ducky DK9008G2 Red keyboard. Both price difference are around RM100. Initially thought the Ducky Red Switch was a shine model (Full back light), turns out only the Brown and Blue switches are backlighted.

Brown switches requires 45g of force but brute for may reach up to 55g right? I don't understand about the brute force, Black switches are 60g, makes it only 5g difference if we were to compare brute force. Currently Black switches are too hard to me, I need a softer switch.

Any suggestions?

Decide it by whether you can a smaller(tenkeyless) keyboard or fullsize. BTW, ducky shine do had RED switch model too. Not sure if Malaysia distributor bring it in, details need to ask Storm88 himself to be more accurate.

You should study the force graph of cherry switch on the 1st page to get what it mean. It should work like spring, starting soft and gradually becoming stiffer.

For the soft switch part, brown/red should be (soft) more than enough for your need, depend mainly on whether you want linear or tactile switch. If by anycase they aren't soft enough, than sadly your only choice probably only Realforce full 30g...

The numberpad is not really important as I do not really use it anyway. In your opinion, would you prefer a brown or a red switch?

LOL 30g is too light 

bro i used a brown filco before.
After reading some reviews, i decided to try out red switch.
So since there's no more red filco, i got the closest.
A red ducky shining.
The feel is totally different.

To me the brown fits better for typing.
And the red is better for my gaming session.

and somehow i type faster with the red. But i like the feel of the brown.

my feel about red and brown.

And yeah i agree....black is very the hard!
maybe getting another red soon!

can't win me dual color

If your keyboard comes with a box, then he should double box it.
Also wrap a ton of bubble wrap around the original box, 2 layers at the very least.

Make sure customs declaration is clearly written. No tax for keyboards, but don't want to waste time visiting Ketam office neither.

EMS can arrive within 3 - 4 working days.
Parcel may take up to 2 weeks.

Hope this helps.
