QUOTE(CyntrixTech @ Jan 30 2013, 02:47 PM) Why would it disappoint?  Most of the Ducky problems came from the very early stage of the company's product - Original Ducky Shine. Just like Rosewill had some issues with their original RK9000. However, all these were resolved and the keyboards are rock solid. The RMA rate is so low compared to CM, Razer, and SS.  well i read somewhere something like 'dont buy ducky, get filco better. ducky only if you're going for led backlighting' or something similar. well i guess its better to experience it ourselves rather than to be 100% reliant on online opinions.  btw thanx CyntrixTech for giving me the heads up regarding the pre order thingy.

Don't buy Filco, get Rosewill better. They come from the same factory and has longer warranty plus it is 1:1 exchange! Yes I'm trolling.  While I personally do not have a ton of experience with every single keyboard. I've had RK9000, RK9100, Leopold FC500R, Filco Majestouch 2, Ducky Shine 2, Ducky 9087 PBT. Leopold is good, maybe Chuah QC my board well or what not but it's dead quiet and alignment also seems perfect. Non standard space bar makes it difficult to change keycaps. I'm dumping it off at RM 1xx now with a new set of blank keycap. Filco Majestouch is fine. There is the renown Costar stabilizer squeaking problem. Rosewill also HAD this problem from before. Nothing can't be fixed with a little bit of lube. Also willing to sell it off if there's any take for it. I hate brown switches yet it is the best seller. The new Ducky are also fine. There's no major problems or complaints so far. Generally speaking, I only pick brands that I know do not have much RMA/known issues.

Just to be reminded that there's 2 more days left to take advantage of the RM 249/269/349 Rosewill promo. After that the keyboards will go back to regular price. But fret not if you did not manage to get this deal. CNY/February promo will be out and we are here to burn all your ang pau money.  Promo will not be on RW keyboards

Our products are all price controlled items. You will only see discount/promotion when we decide to run it with all the dealers. The PBT model is a limited edition model, there's not gonna be any discount  Just like the 78 version This post has been edited by CyntrixTech: Jan 30 2013, 08:22 PM

These? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I've always wanted to make keycaps easily available in MY. The problem has always been sourcing. I've inquired and will see how things go. Maybe we can bring some in together with the 78 version. If there's particular colors you guys want, you probably want to voice it out now.

Want to ask, currently only ducky keyboards (other than SS) are using cherry style stabilizers? others so far like rosewill, filco, CM, Razer, Logitech or Corsair all using wire type (not all wire type are costar-made).....
