Should be getting some more stock in the next few weeks.  Keep checking back!


Keyboard Prices:
$135 - DK-9008G2 PBT
Black keyboard with black keycaps. PBT is a higher quality plastic than the ABS that is used for most keyboard keycaps. This keyboard's keys feature laser-etched beige lettering.

$125 - DK-9008G2
Just like the Shine, but no backlighting. White lettering on black keys.

$150 - DK-9008 Shine
Red or Blue backlighting.  Ducky's newest keyboard, the backlit model.  Black keyboard and ABS keycaps.  PBT keycaps for the Shine do not exist at this time.

$25 - Ducky Black Leather Wrist Rest
Classy looking item.  Imprinted Ducky branding in the bottom corner.

$18 - Rubber O-rings for any Cherry MX keyboard (one set of rings. Enough for one keyboard)
Rubber rings with a duromatic rating of 50A that you place under each keycap to soften the landing of every key press.  Reduces noise and force on your fingers.


Email me at Mechboardscanada@gmail.com (Mechboardscanada@gmail.com) for all inquiries please!


Brand new and in original box with all original accessories. These keyboards are tough to find and are nearly exclusively available in Taiwan and China.

Each keyboard comes with a velvet keyboard sleeve, plastic keyboard dust cover, USB cable, PS/2 adapter, keypuller, and four extra coloured WASD keys. There are some exceptions to this, such as the PBT keyboards not including a PS/2 adapter because they feature N-key rollover via USB.

Here is a link to my eBay feedback page: myworld.ebay.ca/rflux

I accept Paypal, cheque, money order, and Royal Bank direct transfers. Shipping within Canada will be $15-25 depending on location. Pickup in Winnipeg, MB is free.
I am now only accepting "gift / personal" payments via Paypal.  Any other method incurs a $5-10 fee by Paypal on every transaction.  It greatly devalues the time I spend and have spent trying to make Ducky keyboards available to people.  I believe I've built up enough positive eBay and Geekhack feedback to ensure people are comfortable paying me this way.  My ebay feedback page is linked above.  I will try to get purchasers to post feedback in this thread as well.

You heard him, he said Ducky's are rare.

EDIT: I should've used DUCKYs there.

Is liquid gold worth more than solid gold?

How aren't they rare when only one other person (in North America) sells them?  These are only being sold in Canada, also; where nobody else is selling them.

Only Amazon.com in the US is selling Filco keyboards.  Are Ducky keyboards as rare as Filco keyboards on Amazon?  There are no Filco dealers in Canada.  Canadians can't even buy Filcos from amazon.com.

They aren't "rare" because nobody sells them. People sell them at the same velocity that people sell Leopolds, Filcos, and other Mechanical Keyboards.

Welcome to Geekhack.

Thanks litster.  I've been perusing Geekhack the past few months but hadn't yet registered.

From personal searching I've learned that finding a mech keyboard in Canada is near impossible.  You have to import from the US or another continent.  I've never seen a Ducky for sale anywhere but Tankguys.net and Asian sites, so I'd say they're as or more rare than Filcos are in North America.  Canada for certain.  I ended up getting a bunch of boards for myself and friends straight from Ducky also with the intent of helping out fellow Canadians

I don't think Duckys are rare.  They are certainly not as sought after as Filco or even Leopold.  For Canadians who want a Ducky or are looking for a backlit keyboard like the Shine, but can't buy from anywhere else or can't read enough Chinese to buy from sites in Taiwan, you could be a good option.  Good luck.

After testing the Ducky's I find myself overly impressed with the quality and craftsmanship.  I have used one of the newest Leopold's and the Ducky's surpass them in quality.  I have heard that older Ducky's like the tenkeyless were faulty in a few ways, but Ducky has since remedied this.  Ducky certainly hasn't yet developed a solid reputation in this hemisphere like Filco and Leopold have, but that's largely because of the limited availability of Ducky's over here.

It will help you to add some pictures of your product. Keep in mind that several guys around here have golden gold boards and those are not duckies

No Ducky Alps?

Those are imo the really interesting ones at the moment from ducky.

But generally said: the more quack, the better!

Nope, no Alps.  Those weren't even mentioned to me when getting all these boards.

Dangit, you are in Canada. The shipping would be too much for a wrist rest.

I am really interested in the year of the rabbit edition, but as said earlier it could be had for cheaper on PChome.  If OP drops the price I might be able to make a deal.

Rabbit Edition should be on the way to me.  I will post a review and detailed pictures when it arrives, since there seems to be very limited information (in English) about it.

True that.  You're going to love it.  Parting with it was difficult :(  I was heavily considering keeping it for myself.

Yep, still have four Shine's with browns I believe.  And no I don't have any Red Shine's.  Could be months before I do.
