Title: Ducky 1087
Post by: solloron1 on Thu, 23 June 2011, 09:43:35: Hi everyone, noob here and been lurking for a while. I finally have decided to take the plunge into the mech. keyboard world. My question is where can you buy the ducky 1087 with brown mx in the main area with the blues in the arrows and page up/dwn area? I live in the US? So will I have to order from China? Thanks!!

Thanks for the link. My only question is how do I know that this is the one with the cherry browns and blues?

Almost forgot, welcome to gh!

If the Chinese ever have an uprising I hope the first thing they throw out is that crazy ass language!

No. We need unhappy Chinese to move to America and bump up our test scores.

Does anyone know how long it takes for the shippinig from pchome to the USA? What sort of time frame should I be expecting?
