I know most people here don't really like boards from Ducky. But in any case...

If it is below $130, then it maybe worthy it. Otherwise, bye.

When they were designed, I don't think anyone at cherry anticipated that people would love the feel of their switches this way:

Those who are in Australia may be able to order the red switch from Mechkeyboards by next week. http://mechkeyboards.com/products.html

At least, that's what they told me through email.

Their 9000 series actually got pretty good built quality. I believe the complaints are mainly from the 1000 series?

you have to quack in time with the hits.

STILL NOT WORKING! hmph

EDIT:

Okay, I got it to work. This will be helpful for anyone else trying to play this game. You will need a microphone and webcam for this.

If you hop around WHILE quacking and simultaneously kicking one foot in the air, it will work. It might not catch the first few times, but once you learn to quack and jump *just right* it's a great amount of fun. The animation the duck makes when you hit him is hilarious!!

Doesn't work for me. I've been jumping and quacking for like half an hour but I still can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

Which foot are you kicking???

Are you guys pulling my leg? Because it's not funny. I've now tried kicking with either foot, and I've tried putting keyboard on my head, and still nothing. I am beginning to suspect you are just making fun of me. If so, you ought to be really ashamed of yourselves.

Sometimes putting a keyboard on your head helps hit the duck.

LMAO @ filipino people...

I always tell my girlfriend her people are uncultured savages...it seems to make her upset.

Of course I'm Greek, so everyone is an uncultured savage to me.

Bring your GF over.  Have her take her clothes off.   And turn on the Webcam.


I'm afraid my wife would make a scene if I did that.
