Ducky 1087 XM w/ Green ALPS type switch
domin8r:
Got mine in yesterday.. Really liking it so far!
The keys are indeed wobbly, but that's just alps. My AT101W does that too.. And don't mind the wobble :)
The sound is pretty nice.. from what I had read I was expecting it to be superloud but it's just like black alps with a little more "oomph". No angry coworkers so far.. but they're used to my other coworker rattling away on his AT101W :D
Build quallity is definitely fine for it's price-range. Board is sturdy, it doesn't slip on my desk with the feet up and just works.
This is my first TKL and REALLY liking that too!
Only downside was the heft customs fee.. had to pay about $32.80 on customs. And the board itself was $33 (and $20 shipping). Ridiculous!

Mine ended up coming in today. Everyone was right about these feeling VERY similar to cherry blues. I've been having a bit of fun with it so far. I think I'm enjoying the sound more than the feel of the keys hahaha
In my opinion, the 'alps wobble' isn't nearly as bad as it is made out to be. I can hardly notice it if at all when typing normally. I'm a little disappointed you don't get the ducky keychains from PCHOME anymore though :T

Yeah I was disappointed about the keychain too ;)

Impressions: This keyboard is loooud. Not significantly louder than other clicky white alps. Build quality is not up to part with filcos, but what do you expect from a ducky... Nothing about the build quality makes the keyboard un-usable. The plastic thing that goes above the arrow keys and around the insert / delete / home/ end cluster had sorta popped out, but I just popped it back into place.
Key feeling: Great. ****ing fabulous. These are very light compared with say XM's found on the siig minitouch. I didn't ripometer it but it looks like it's be cheren done before. There is ZERO off center keypress binding. I'm not sure I have actually used a fukka alps board but I think this is what they would feel like.
Roll over: appears to be pretty much 6kro
Compared with cherry blues? Click is much louder. Travel is less (all of this is typical for alps). Actuation force seems slightly higher. The tactile point and click is more pronounced. The click is meatier. This keyboard is much much louder overall.

How do the green ALPS switches compare to the white ALPS?

Someone should really make a tester pack out of all the key chains, topre, apls etc.
