Ducky ones have extra legends for the media keys.
But otherwise, it should be the same.

Anyone knows where to buy cherry mx switches cheap and fast?
Want to buy some blues, browns, clears and green maybe to put into my poker.
Wanna convert people with it

anyone selling brand new ducky 9008g2 pbt or ducky shine green led (both brown switch) please pm me

er.... Green LED is being EOL by Ducky already
Btw, sorry for late response about the PBT question,

Yes, Ducky has EOLed the 9008G2 series, incl the PBT edition.
But they will release another PBT edition base on 9008G2 Pro

Can try GS, saw a couple of Ducky Shines for sale. G2 however, don't see anyone selling it at the moment.


The G2 Pro is called G3? Priced around RM350+- right?

Yes correct

keycaps finally arrived...

now my qfr looks classier



it was quite easy replacing keycaps

when will the pbt be released?

saw some ducky shine II around the web, it seems like all keys are configurable with different lighting haha~

Added on June 6, 2012, 7:45 pmHmm, I guess it is similar to the G2 Pro/G3, using a new chasis and some refinement. Don't think it will be different color lighting, the one in picture probably just some individual LED swap.

Hello, I planning to buy mechanical keboard, recently too many to choose coz lot of brand ady have mecha keboard...my list now wud be filco, ducky n SS, razer? nahh go away lol...I prefer gaming spec keboard which ppl others forum suggesting black switches but i so tempting when looking at SS keyboard which they offer plated gold switches..so is it worth to buy SS (6gv2or 7gv2) or filco n ducky is far better than it?

Don't fall into the trap of so called "gaming" mechanical keyboard. It is basically just a mechanical keyboard with some redundant functions/specs. Infact, some of them even lack/sacrificed some of the so called "gaming" specs(Razer BW only 2KRO, Corsair K60/90 is a mix of rubber dome)...

In short, all brand should be OK, as long as it is having a good built quality.

SS, Filco and other famous mech kb OEM are having quite good and solid built quality. Though, SS isn't much popular around here because it is having limited switches/layout choices unlike other brands like Leopold/Ducky/Filco. Also, SS keyboards are somehow overpriced too.

Black switch is more famous because it is older and longer in the market. Some gamers like it's tactileless(linear) feel and fast actuation(less than 2mm). But most important is to get the type of switch which suit your typing/gaming style, so better try them out to be sure.

BTW, all Cherry MX switches are gold plated...

yeah... but not as bad as those key printings

will find a way to make it fully dual tone

Finally received my Ducky 9008G2 PBT from heavyarm

Back to mech keyboards after 1 month.

The feeling of Brown switch is Feels like Red but with a tactile feeling. Only thing is missing is a wrist rest, might look for those Gel ones instead.

omg so jealous..too bad its discontinued

whats the diff between black and red switches?

I'm still looking for printed keycaps for my Ducky 9008. Only 1 row, from ` until =. or from 1 until 0 works also...

Any ideas?

Black switches are way harder than Red switches. IMO, you cannot really feel that you are pressing the keys with Red switch. Black switch requires more force than Red.

What an attractive keycaps, awesome!

Anyone knows how do i contact with TT distributor here in Malaysia / Singapore ? My MEKA G1 got problem and thinking of sending it for warranty purposes

Awesome, looks very nice ...

I have the same board. Waiting for my keycaps too, will post a pic once i get em.
