Guess it's better late than never. Finally joined the mechanical keyboard club. Got myself a nice Corsair K95 for a very good price recently. Loving it.

However, I got a question. Usually I do not get or buy brands I've never heard off or has funny names, but everyone at LYN seems to swear by it. Is Ducky Keyboards really that good? Pardon my ignorance. Please don't kill me.

One being exclusively making mech kb over 7years by reputable OEM in Taiwan.

While another newcomer which never make mech kb b4 and by relatively new unknown oem from China.

Which one will you choose then?

Hey guys, I'm curious..
Why mkb are not availble widely, and not commonly known by people?
Is mkb still a new thing? hmm.gif
When I woke up earlier, this question popped into my head laugh.gif

Nope, MKB is a retro stuff.

Keyboard first come in mechanical back them in 80 (or earlier, I not too sure since what time PC first have keyboard). Later, due to commercializations and cheapen of PC, keyboard have to cut corner and drop in price, hence the born of rubber dome.

It's an unfair question. To newbies like us who has never heard of ducky before, of course we pick corsair. But if you wanna put history in context then of course we pick the one that has been doing it for seven years.

But still, my question stands, is ducky really that good to be considered the best for the sub RM500 range? I just wanna know your opinions and user experience really. But based on what I've read here it seems after sales experience is second to none, especially for replacement parts and ease of fixing.

And like I said, Dont kill me LOL!

Nope, best mass market available keyboard is the ComingSoonTM Filco, true story.

for backlit boards, i'd say ducky due to it's availability and rep.
for non-backlit, ComingSoonâ„¢ Filco.

Eh wait a minute. I forgot, their stuff are made in taiwan, isn't it?

Razer, Corsair, Logitech and most of CM's mech kb are made in China. Have a look on your kb, should be written at the back label there.

Only some line of mech kb by CM and SS is made in Taiwan.

But need not be too serious in this. A made in China board doesn't conclude to be bad, so do a made in Taiwan board.

It all back down to the proper the QC and OEM to justify the end result of the keyboard quality.

If you despo, you can still change the modifier (for the 1x sized win and menu key, use some blank key to replace).

For spacebar, really extremely hard to find replacement, so far only limited to maxkeyboard IINM.

Its the best out there. The MJ2 has double sided pcb and the through holes are soldered all the way through and the pads are anchored on both sides. http://www.diatec.co.jp/en/det.php?prod_c=757
I think the pcb is also thicker which might give a different more solid feel. I'm curious to see how the keycool stacks up.

Though, contrary to that, most ppl actually believe that gen 1, particularly blue switch is better to type on than gen2.

Also, F-104 also through hole copper plate design yo. brows.gif

There are exceptions but there seems to be this misconception that because something is made by costar (eg Rosewill/CM) its got to be the same quality as a Filco.

The built is similar, but the material and qc is different.
