Nice! I'm about to order one with green switches too. I bought one with what the store said was white switches but I believe it might have been clear ones so I returned it. It's a shame they don't offer these in tkl, though.
What switches did you have before? I use blacks and they're awesome but I do miss that tactile feel. I have another board with browns and I can't go back to it.. its too mushy. So I was thinking of going green. Do you have any relevant experience?

I got the impression that they are white from the Ducky Nordic thread over at DT.

Jag är ganska säker, ja. Det var detta jag köpte: http://www.netonnet.se/art/dator/kringutrustning/speltillbehor/mekaniska-tangentbord/ducky-g2prodyesubpbtmxwhite/188139.6061/ och det finns inget klickljud, och ej heller några piggar på ovansidan av brytaren, som det ska finnas på vita brytare.
I'm just wondering how much the board cost. Also, aren't greens and dark grey switches both 80cN?

Greens and Greys are both 80 cN at the actuation point, but Greys have a much heavier spring. Greens are that heavy at the actuation point because of the clicker.

:O I never know that greys have heavier spring! Nice to know :)

Great review, thanks.I have another board with Clears. They're more tactile than the greens, but the tactile bump is "rounder" and less precise than the greens. They're definitely much quieter than Greens.
I was thinking of getting this very board because I think I might like the green switches. Then I noticed the comments comparing the clears to the greens. Are clears tactile? And are they quieter than greens?
Also, is it possible to get/buy different color key caps for this specific Ducky board ? (I would like to configure the board in a two tone grey with beige or white keys)

At this time it's not possible to buy this board in anything but solid grey or to buy the keycaps separately. From what ShakeR said over on the MK forum, it sounds like Ducky is never going to make these keycaps again because of difficulties in manufacture.

Thanks. Would ABS caps fit this Ducky? (I've never replaced key caps before so not sure if caps come in a 'standard' size?)

Just got mine this morning.
MX-blues. Blue/grey caps.
Freakin' love it. Would have loved to get greens but PCcasegear didn't stock them.
And love the clickyness of blue.
Sorry for crappy photo :S
Just received this keyboard today, so I thought I'd do a quick write up of it.
Keyboard Body
There's not much I can say about the DK9008 body that hasn't already been said, so I'll keep this brief. This is a very solid board. There is no creak to it at all and it has a number of nice features. Overall it just feels like a very high quality product. I have nothing bad to say about it.
Switches
I really like the Greens so far, though they're not quite as heavy as I was expecting. Experience has taught me that first impressions can be misleading when it comes to switches, so I'll update this section of the review in a week or so when I've had more time to spend with the board.
Update: I really like the Green switches, but I'm still not sure if I like them better or worse than Clears. They feel nice but the clickiness is kind of annoying in a way that buckling springs aren't. I may end up removing the caps and just putting them on my Clear board, but we'll see.
Keycaps
The part everyone's been waiting for! I got the solid gray color scheme because that was the only one available with Greens. The gray is a little lighter than I was expecting, but it's a nice color scheme. The keycaps are very thick and have a nice solid feel to them. The surface is a little smoother than I'm used to with PBT, but it's not bad. The legends look great; they're very sharp and clear. There's a tiny bit of bleed on some of the legends, but it's barely noticeable.
(Sorry about the quality of the pictures, I don't have a real lighting setup right now.)

I dont like full size board. But might pick up one in the future for the keycaps before they are sold out.
Anyone know if these are OEM profile or cherry profile keycaps?
