Those look great. I wonder how good the quality of the build is on these.

Ducky seems to be doing a bit with keycaps these days.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I'm excited about these. Hopefully this set comes with the 4 shortcut keys since I have the 9008 G2.

Ducky is doing some awesome stuff already this year. I know some people here are Costar die-hards but Ducky really can't be beat when it comes to the diversity of selection.

I wasn't a fan of Ducky before because I heard so many stories about boards not working and other problems Ducky had so I stayed away. Now, I wish I wouldn't have waited so buy one. The G2 Pro has outstanding build quality and I will be buying more Ducky's for years to come.

I really like the dark grey ones.. can make a good contrast with plain black keys, still not as huge as if white keycaps are used

Oi - Almost what I was looking for.

Still looking for someone who makes PBT caps with media legends that match my filco board. Not a fan of white/grey/blue/etc.

I'm hoping they'll offer a set in ISO, so far there's no love for us when it comes to thick PBT caps.

Wow, MX dark grey? Cool.

Maybe they'll make a keypad with Clears. :D

Mashby, the main difference I can see is that these are "OEM" profile and IMSTO's are Cherry profile.

Ahhh... that makes sense. Doh!  :confused:

Thank you for clearing that up for me.
