Is there *any* way to buy a ducky in the United States?

I am waiting for anybody to be interested in being the reseller.

No.  But the pics are nice.

Actually, technically you could go through a buying service to Taobao.  Here's a handy guide. (http://taobaofieldguide.com/taobao-guides/buying-on-taobao-from-overseas)

Haven't tried it myself.   I'm your typical lazy American waiting for someone to list it on Ebay.

sorry man, I have not got the squirrel keycaps yet.....

I heard Ducky keyboards are very favoured in the mainland of China. Pitty it seems that theres no retailer here in Europe. Otherwise there would be more choices. Would Bruce be interested in this thing?

Is the case made of aluminium too?

Or have you gone for the Model M retro textured plastic look :P

Nice tenkeyless.  Those who sell Filcos aren't going to sell Duckys for obvious reasons.  By the time you get a Ducky to the states, etc. from the China motherlands, the benefits of cost reduction seem past.
Why can't I find Ducky's in chinatown - rhetorical.

NSFW ducky (http://www.poolandspa.com/catalog/Product874938.cfm).  There's regular yellow ones, but this was the most ludicrous google quick find there was.

Imsto - please if you sell this ducky on ebay I will buy one unless it is ridiculously expensive.

Post by: ch_123 on Sat, 14 August 2010, 08:05:53

Ducky keys are lasered right? You should consider selling the keycaps separately... would do wonders for the Filco owners without the cost of buying/shipping a whole keyboard from China to the US.

Title: new ducky 1087
Post by: imsto on Sat, 14 August 2010, 10:16:21

yes  lasered ,   we have black on black keycaps separately...

Full-size on schedule, or will Ducky be a tenkeyless-only brand ?
What about the switches (reeeeeed) ?

Black on black keycaps is a nice touch.

Title: new ducky 1087
Post by: washuai on Mon, 16 August 2010, 10:07:52

The fullsize Duckys are already loose in the wild.  They definitely aren't a tenkeyless only brand.  I don't have time to look up a link.

According to the sauce, late August or early September.
Let's hope for it.

Do you think I should NOT order the Filco Tenkeyless Cherry Blues and wait for this instead?

it's coming soon, with blue, brown,black cherry mx and black on black, white on black, blank black, black on white , white one white, blank white keycaps, totally 18 kinds of 1087.

(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=12188&stc=1&d=1282060474)

this is the white keycaps  the space bar is made by Cherry
the ducky white seems more white..... and this is a sample for the keycaps, there would be a white case.

Damn, made me click.

Another Chinese website with funny writing.

It's not actually for sale yet.. just a passaround. People are supposed to pass the keyboard after typing on it and making a small review.

Obviously that creature meant this:

(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=12477&stc=1&d=1284418611)

Because everyone knows you have fewer countable things (such as keys), and less of an uncountable thing (such as grammar knowledge).

I hope those LESS keys are reprogrammable.
