why so fussy about the extra 5 inches of numpad =\ straight the the Rk9000.

this month gotta be great!
CNY + KBC POKER!

Yeah, Rosewill is value for money enough lol

Already have one RK9000
Hehe, there must be a reason why TKL was released long way before.
I use less numpad, and I appreciate the smaller form factor of it.

You see why KMAC are TKL/ winkeyless ?

tkl shorten the distance between mouse and alphabet on your keyboard, which can speed up the work
kaysa used have a great explanation of the benefit of TKL, i believe it's somewhere inside V8
me myself prefer TKL also

there are many people who have small table, also tkl keyboard has shorter range between mouse and keyboard.

Gamers basically will tend to get a TKL more

I type my password using the keypad lol

then it must be ur IC number or phone number then

Lol, nope!

Also typing in card details when making an online payment

Initially TKL is the next in the list but I requested TK version instead of TKL. TK version should be out before TKL. Most people want it shorter but also want the numpad.

If you want TKL, you can just walk out and get a QFR, or Ducky 9087G2Pro PBT, or the more expensive Shine 2 9087

Smaller table is one of the reason,
the other reason of smaller keyboards is it can maintain the body's posture straight,
while the mouse are not too far away from your body center.
5 inch of different is quite a lot in this case.
I agree that gamers tend to get TKL more,
since most of the time both of their hand are on the mouse and keyboard at the same time,
so the body posture will be effected more.

Ducky Zero 2108 - Ducky's Entry Level Board Cherry Stabilizer





Previously I said Cyntrix probably won't be bringing it in, but well I'm reconsidering it. The board uses cherry stabilizer just like Leopold. There's much slimmer chance for squeaking long keys. The current SRP is RM 249. RM 50 less than the Costar RK9000. Caps are laser engraved ABS with UV coating. Someone please do me a favor to verify tha all the caps are compatible with standard cherry keycaps.

For some reason, the keycaps looks like it'll wear off easily.. like the ones on CM trigger/tk

Bring it in ?

I think they're using the standard layout in terms of modifier keys.

hmm.... ducky zero..... this one is made in china right? not like the other ducks which are made in taiwan?

Yes this is MADE IN CHINA. Pretty sure RK9000 is still higher quality

Keycaps looks standard.

Ducky has 2 manufacturers?

seems promising, but the price still not cheap enough.. perhaps another RM30-40 cut would suit the entry level pricing and quality.

I guess people who have limited work space and don't need the numpad rather keep a version of better mobility.
