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

EDIT: I should've used DUCKYs there.

Is liquid gold worth more than solid gold?

When I saw rare..I was hoping to buy some white tenkeyless duckies.. no luck darn it :Cry:

rflux · « **Reply #6 on:** Sun, 30 October 2011, 02:18:05 »

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.

you can buy a ducky year of the rabbit, shipped, from pchome for slightly over 140. sorry for that but you asked.

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

litster · « **Reply #11 on:** Sun, 30 October 2011, 03:07:29 »

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.

rflux · « **Reply #12 on:** Sun, 30 October 2011, 03:16:28 »

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.

cactux · « **Reply #13 on:** Sun, 30 October 2011, 03:49:46 »

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

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.

Bump and edit: Purchase more than one item and get a discount.

Interested in a 9008 Shine w/ browns and Ducky wrist rest....how much of a discount will those 2 items get me?
Shipping would be to 97217 USA.

rflux · « **Reply #19 on:** Wed, 02 November 2011, 23:51:42 »

Sorry, forgot to say that the discount only applies to two or more keyboard purchases! Will update original post.

I'm just glad I moved to the states before i picked up my keyboard fetish if this is the case.

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

RetroHollywood · « **Reply #23 on:** Fri, 04 November 2011, 16:23:55 »

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.

rflux · « **Reply #24 on:** Fri, 04 November 2011, 21:27:29 »

Already have a potential buyer on the Rabbit, sorry!

RetroHollywood · « **Reply #25 on:** Mon, 07 November 2011, 19:50:31 »

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.

jefferysanders · « **Reply #27 on:** Tue, 08 November 2011, 08:25:32 »

Still have ducky shine browns? Any REDS shines available?

rflux · « **Reply #28 on:** Wed, 09 November 2011, 00:41:33 »

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.

Yes, would like to see some pictures as well. What are Golden Gold Boards?

rflux · « **Reply #32 on:** Fri, 18 November 2011, 01:37:18 »

Only reason I haven't uploaded any photos is because you can find quality pictures if you just Google the model of keyboard. My pictures would be nearly identical. I guess I could link to them.

I think golden gold boards was an attempt at denouncing the quality of Ducky keyboards or something. Fail.

RetroHollywood · « **Reply #33 on:** Sat, 19 November 2011, 10:39:49 »

I ordered the YOTR from rflux, and received it in about a week despite international shipping. He was very responsive and helpful via email. The keyboard came unharmed, though the packaging was a bit sloppy (my only complaint). I would definitely order from this guy again.

EDIT: There is now a full review in that section of the forums.

rflux · « **Reply #34 on:** Sun, 20 November 2011, 03:40:04 »

Yeah, I wish I had cardboard boxes just big enough to slide the keyboard boxes into for better shipping protection. Unfortunately anything I do have on hand is significantly larger than the keyboard box and would increase shipping costs.

Glad you're happy with the Ducky! No lie, every person I've sold one to is blown away by how great they feel and by the build quality.

Kira · « **Reply #35 on:** Sun, 20 November 2011, 07:51:56 »

Just placed an order with this fella for a Ducky Shine with Cherry MX Browns.

I'm waiting with bated breath for a tracking number!

(Actually a little worried with no replies to my payment in 16 hours, giving another 8 before I worry though)

I am a human with a job, friends and life as well as having this Ducky thing going on. If you don't hear from me for a period as little as 12 hours - don't worry. It's normal. I may be sleeping, or eating, or pooping, or doing something else humanly. Your keyboard is on it's way!

NO! No humanity! Or pooping!

Sorry if I'm a little paranoid, I kinda just got ebay scammed a week ago, so I'm a tad skittish.

One thing, I didn't receive an email from you with the tracking number, is there one? If so, mind sending it to me?

Thanks for dealing with me, a terrible customer.

Hi everyone. I was searching for a distributor of these keyboards in North America and decided to go with rflux because of his location in Canada would mean less shipping hassle... plus support the 'local' guy!

I ordered the Shine (Browns) from him and received it without problem. Even got an extra loud Cherry Blue MX keychain that I can take to work!

I'm extremely pleased with the product and the service providing the product.

Once again, thanks rflux!
