Need some input:-

I just finish my own Ducky One vs Ducky Zero dilemma and I chose the One.

Then I came to this thread and get to know bout the IKBC, which I found out around same price range with the One.

In you guys opinion/experience:
- Ducky pros & cons
- IKBC pros & cons

Or you have better board to recommend, feel free.
- Full size
- Don't need backlit
- Price range around RM350-ish.

And also I got a Blackwidow OG Cherry MX Blue, which has malfunction Tab, left CTRL, and Q.
I swapped the switches with 3 macro keys switch, and it works fine for like 3 days, then its gone again.
If anyone got experience on how to fix this I would like to know as well.

Much appreciated.

Yeah just go Ultimate Zone and play around. Initially, I had the same idea as you until I went to Ultimate Zone and learned about iKBC f87. I bought it on the spot.

1) Comes with PBT Double Shot caps. Fantastic looking in white. It also has some funky looking keycaps for certain function keys for the lighting effect.
2) Heavier than the ducky. It really feels more durable but as long as you are not throwing or slamming your board i don't think it will make a difference.

The main con for me is - no micro usb connector. The usb is build into the keyboard so it is has a hassle to move around.
And also no media keys.
I hear the RGB lighting isnt as good as the ducky but i don't really care.

Just a personal preference i really like how the iKBC board sounds compared to the Ducky. The acoustic of each key delivers a nice clicky sound, although both are Cherry, they may feel identical but they produce different sound. The iKBC sounded more solid to me.

Right, thanks a lot for the input.

Non detachable sounds like part of the con to me to because somewhat I plan to bring the keyboard into office for work.
But, blue keys, if long term I using it in office, don't know can last me how many days before I receive letter from HR complaining regarding the noise. laugh.gif

Unfortunately I'm from Penang and the shop here don't carry iKBC, so, yeah.

We'll see because I'm still surveying around.

Thanks a lot again.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.
Especially those to tackle my Blackwidow issue.
Will give it a try, since I've nothing to lose now.

Just happened I visit KL this weekend, and just happened when I was shitting I gatai and go search Ultimate Zone Facebook, and just happened they're doing promo for iKBC, just happened I'm about to go back to Penang already, so I drove there straight to pick it up.

Saw review at Youtube say is Zorro switchs, once i received the item see how the switch performs.
but my way of looking at it is, what ever brand of blue switch is better then membrane key by uncountable magnitude.
