Hey guys, my first post here!
After lurking for a while, seeing all the cool(and sometimes expensive) keyboards and artisan keycaps on GH I now don't feel so bad about my 130USD expenditure.
And this is what 130 dollars got me;

The Ducky Premier with Cherry MX Brown switches. Don't mind they keyboard in the back, that's just the old Razer Blackwidow Ultimate that the Ducky is replacing. Bought it before I saw the light. :D
The Ducky looks good, but keeps me craving for cheesecake so I've ordered the Max translucent black keycaps to try out since it was half price due to the Black Friday sale.
Loving the keyboard so far. Feels solid unlike the Razer, which is going to be my project board. Already ordered LEDs to try soldering on.
Hoping to learn more from the people on the forum. So many new things about keyboards that I didn't know even existed before this!
Cheers,

Welcome to the Ducky club :)
This is the start of a long slippery slope ...

Thanks for the welcome. Got a bit worried when no one replied to my post :))
I'm starting to slide a little. Already ordered a translucent black Max keycap set and getting a SP cloud key from the classifieds and having it sent over to replace my escape key. I'm going to name it "escape to the clouds".
I'll wait till my keyboard is out of warranty before modifying the LEDs. For now, my old mechanical will suffice as a test board. Planning to swap out the LEDs and paint the top. If i get good enough at soldering, I can begin to customise boards for friends.
As I've already said in other threads, I've been reading on the artisan caps and have already fallen in love with them. In my head I already have an idea if which stock caps they will replace.
I hope I don't go all crazy and start buying everything to pimp out my board. :eek:
Though I am hoping to learn more about modifying my board from you guys, especially the electrical parts. That would be a big challenge since I don't have any background in it. For now, I'm concentrating on aesthetics, trying to make the Premier truly mine
