Title: Ducky 1008 or 9008?
Post by: kdu85 on Mon, 21 March 2011, 01:34:12

So I'm visiting Taiwan right now and wanted to grab a Ducky mechanical which will also be my first mech.

Wanted to know if there is an actual worthy difference between the two? I can grab a DK1008 for $68 and the 9008 is $30 more. I don't care for the function keys that 9008 offers, the volume shortcut keys that 1008 comes with is all I will need.

Main concern is build quality difference, I will be using the ABS keys that comes with on either one.

Thanks!

The build quality of the 9008 is much higher than that of the 1008--better casing and generally better engineered.
