Great. Thanks for posting this. You do realize Moogle will freak out when he sees this right? :D
That is an exceptionally well labeled PCB.
E.g. the cherry mx brown version has clears for the function keys. Spacebar is probably a clear as well i reckon.
Microsoft Sidewinder X4 has been out over a year.
It's not rocket science.
Funny how all these n-key over USB boards turn up after hasu published his nkey over USB research here. Coincidence?
I like conspiracy theories.
PS: It would not be the first time either, *COUGH* monkey controller *COUGH*
I haven't yet heard anything bad about usb nkro implementation :bounce:

I heard that it causes cancer of the penis.
Don't worry. One day that 4th dipswitch will come into use and you get a N-Key over USB update from Topre too!

Noopoo on Macs, PLUM.
I dont see why its a big deal noppoo does not work on macs, nothing good works on macs, they're used to it ;x
For some reason now i find keyboards with numpads an instant turnoff.
I have the same problem with women and legs.
The fun is this year is Rabit year in Chinese tradition....
not Tiger...
so no idea why this version comes up
稱為Dk 9008 G2的意思是more info about this keyboard i got from KBC
G 是 generation 的縮寫，G2代表的就是第二代 !!
一代跟二代在外觀上大致相同，但是核心卻大大不同 !!
首先，在USB的介面下推出了N-Key Rollover的技術，並且保留PS/2的介面。
再來，更新了最重要的PCB版，採用FR-4的材質，光是硬度、抗熱、還有價錢，都是以往的好幾倍，
走線(Layout)方面，採用了雙面走線的技術，這在FR-4雙層板中是很常見的。
採用SMT的二極體(Diode)，良率又是比之前的DIP二極體更好，
為了這良率代表Ducky要付出更多的成本，但是我相信為了消費者這是一個廠商一定要做的!!!
外觀的包裝更加大氣 !!!
請大家拭目以待....Dukcy 9000 series G2
more info about this keyboard i got from KBC
DK9008G2
the G means Generation.
This means, it is the 2nd Generation of 9008
The First Generation and 2nd generation, have exactly the same exterior design, except they used engraved key cap, and tiger words printed on the kb.
But the controller of the keyboard are brand new, and different then generation 1 of 9008
This keyboard will work NKRO over USB.
The PS/2 adapter is included, in case some1 choose to use PS/2 over USB.
Generation 2 9008, got the brand new and different PCB then the first generation.
The PCB used FR-4 material, the solidness, higher heat resistance, better price as well, the overall PCB is way better compare to the first generation 9008.
Circuit (Layout), the use of a double-sided circuit technique (dual layer PCB), which in FR-4 PCB is very common.
It use SMT Diode, it is better then the one that used in first generation 9008, which is DIP Diode.
Generally, this keyboard will cost a little bit more.
i try my best to translate. lol. can't 100% sure it is right.
not trying to be a douche bag, but... this is more precise (translated word by word and tried to retain the "atmosphere")... some typos and punctuations are purposely left unchanged in honor of the author, bullock (great name)@ KBC
G is the abbreviation of generation, so, G2 means second generation!!
The second generation looks identical to the first generation externally, but, their interiors are different!!
First of all, the NKRO technology is implemented into the USB interface and the PS/2 interface is still preserved.
Secondly, the important PCB is revised. FR-4 is used. The hardness, heat resistance, and price is a few times higher compare to the previous PCB,
Dual-sided PCB, which is commonly found in dual-layered FR-4 PCB, is used.
SMT diodes are used and their defect rate is lower compare to the previous DIP diodes,
In order to reduce the defect rate, Ducky has to invest more costs, but, I believe that this is what manufacturers have to do in favor of the consumers!!!!
The looks of the packaging is more grandeur!!!
Wait and behold….Dukcy 9000 series G2

hmm, i want the 1087G2 now or i'll have to settle on the EK leopold --
Would pc home have stock ?
TBH I don't think that most of the people here care about how good the internals of a keyboard are, they just don't want problems like what happened to the iOne Scorpius M10. A decently priced reliable keyboard is what they want.
PC Home will have some stock ,
PC Home will have some stock ,
ya, how i wish they will have stock.
but DuckyKeyboard (http://myworld.ebay.com/duckykeyboard/) will carry this as well.
No...because my friend working in Ducky, so I know some thing ,,
alright thanks. that's nice.
Ok, so I got news that Ducky will be releasing a limited edition board for the year of the tiger, and it will deviate from the DK-9008 in the following areas:
* The Function keys of the keyboard will use a special switch type
o For the brown DK-9108, the function keys will have Cherry MX Clears under them.
o For the blues, they will have greens.
o For the blacks, they will have greys.
* The keyboard will have a superior quality PCB that's made of (the engineering term slipped my mind), but basically the keyboard PCB will have much more layers than the conventional DK-9008.
* The keycaps will be black-on-black PBT.
Pricing wise it will be about S$225. Basically the same as the current PBT + wrist rest bundle, but without the wrist rest for this one.

Does anyone know why F9, F10 and F11 have LED windows? Have past special editions had these?
Nice. Where did you get the English version of the keyboard? PChome seems to only stock the Chinese version.from MO
Eh, top row function keys no clears ??
Well wouldn't matter to me anyway. Clears for spacebar sounds fun.
Brown spacebar which i've tried so far works fine. I take it the clear spacebar is slightly more stiffer ?
It's just gonna be too much hassle reselling my keyboard, but worse still is waiting 4-6 weeks if ordering from Walrus. I waited ages before, and i'm not gonna do that **** again.
i wish they will have this on stock. but probably won't happen.
they doesn't even stock the white Ducky 1087, the new White 9008.
this limited version? probably don't think so.
probably the key cap? packaging, inside pcb maybe? mix switch?
how i wish i got my digital scale with me at Singapore
i'm pretty sure that this keyboard itself is heavier then regular ducky 9008.
and reporting, this kb is not working well with MAC.
contacted Walrus to try it again on his MAC, he says, it doesn't work very well too.
Does it act the same way as the Noppoo or is it something different?
