Going to China in a couple of weeks, want to pick a keyboard with Cherry red switches as my new gaming keyboard but the question is, which one? Ducky special edition is the cheapest of the bunch (~800 RMB) and supposedly well-made (?) but it's also full size, something I could live without. Filco & Cherry cost roughly the same (1000 RMB) and sport more nimble designs. Have to say I'm quite intrigued by the Cherry at this point, seeing how it's an "Asia only" model and looks pretty leet; then again, Filco is Filco and the price in China is well awesome. Does this Cherry come with double shot keys?
Of course I could save a bit and go for the KBC Poker, the red switches version of which goes for ~500RMB.
Which one do I pick? Thanks for your opinions.

Go for the Filco. Best bang for your buck.

Go for Filco for a overall solid board. Go with Cherry if you want to mod the switches.

I have both Majestouch Tenkeyless & Cherry G80-1865. If you like small footprint on your desk, go for Filco; If you use number keys a lot, then consider Cherry. Built quality aside, both are great.

I heard ducky usa isn't actually run by duckys, instead it's being run by koala bears.
