Wait, what?

You heard him, he said Ducky's are rare.
EDIT: I should've used DUCKYs there.

I should let Tankguys know they sell liquid gold.

Is liquid gold worth more than solid gold?
-
When I saw rare..I was hoping to buy some white tenkeyless duckies.. no luck darn it :Cry:
-
How aren't they rare when only one other person (in North America) sells them? These are only being sold in Canada, also; where nobody else is selling them.

Only Amazon.com in the US is selling Filco keyboards. Are Ducky keyboards as rare as Filco keyboards on Amazon? There are no Filco dealers in Canada. Canadians can't even buy Filcos from amazon.com.

They aren't "rare" because nobody sells them. People sell them at the same velocity that people sell Leopolds, Filcos, and other Mechanical Keyboards.

you can buy a ducky year of the rabbit, shipped, from pchome for slightly over 140. sorry for that but you asked.

Welcome to Geekhack.
Thanks litster. I've been perusing Geekhack the past few months but hadn't yet registered.
From personal searching I've learned that finding a mech keyboard in Canada is near impossible. You have to import from the US or another continent. I've never seen a Ducky for sale anywhere but Tankguys.net and Asian sites, so I'd say they're as or more rare than Filcos are in North America. Canada for certain. I ended up getting a bunch of boards for myself and friends straight from Ducky also with the intent of helping out fellow Canadians
-
I don't think Duckys are rare. They are certainly not as sought after as Filco or even Leopold. For Canadians who want a Ducky or are looking for a backlit keyboard like the Shine, but can't buy from anywhere else or can't read enough Chinese to buy from sites in Taiwan, you could be a good option. Good luck.
-
After testing the Ducky's I find myself overly impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. I have used one of the newest Leopold's and the Ducky's surpass them in quality. I have heard that older Ducky's like the tenkeyless were faulty in a few ways, but Ducky has since remedied this. Ducky certainly hasn't yet developed a solid reputation in this hemisphere like Filco and Leopold have, but that's largely because of the limited availability of Ducky's over here.
-
It will help you to add some pictures of your product. Keep in mind that several guys around here have golden gold boards and those are not duckies

No Ducky Alps?
Those are imo the really interesting ones at the moment from ducky.
But generally said: the more quack, the better!
-
No Ducky Alps?
Nope, no Alps. Those weren't even mentioned to me when getting all these boards.
-
Bump and edit: Purchase more than one item and get a discount.
-
Interested in a 9008 Shine w/ browns and Ducky wrist rest....how much of a discount will those 2 items get me?
Shipping would be to 97217 USA.
-
Sorry, forgot to say that the discount only applies to two or more keyboard purchases! Will update original post.
-
I'm just glad I moved to the states before i picked up my keyboard fetish if this is the case.
-
Dangit, you are in Canada. The shipping would be too much for a wrist rest.

It'd probably be $10-15
-
I am really interested in the year of the rabbit edition, but as said earlier it could be had for cheaper on PChome. If OP drops the price I might be able to make a deal.
-
Already have a potential buyer on the Rabbit, sorry!
-
Rabbit Edition should be on the way to me. I will post a review and detailed pictures when it arrives, since there seems to be very limited information (in English) about it.

True that. You're going to love it. Parting with it was difficult :( I was heavily considering keeping it for myself.
-
Still have ducky shine browns? Any REDS shines available?
-
Yep, still have four Shine's with browns I believe. And no I don't have any Red Shine's. Could be months before I do.
-
Stock updated.

Yes, would like to see some pictures as well. What are Golden Gold Boards?
-
Only reason I haven't uploaded any photos is because you can find quality pictures if you just Google the model of keyboard. My pictures would be nearly identical. I guess I could link to them.
I think golden gold boards was an attempt at denouncing the quality of Ducky keyboards or something. Fail.
-
I ordered the YOTR from rflux, and received it in about a week despite international shipping. He was very responsive and helpful via email. The keyboard came unharmed, though the packaging was a bit sloppy (my only complaint). I would definitely order from this guy again.
EDIT: There is now a full review in that section of the forums.
-
Yeah, I wish I had cardboard boxes just big enough to slide the keyboard boxes into for better shipping protection. Unfortunately anything I do have on hand is significantly larger than the keyboard box and would increase shipping costs.
Glad you're happy with the Ducky! No lie, every person I've sold one to is blown away by how great they feel and by the build quality.
-
Please tell me you got some White versions! =)
-
Sadly... I only had one, and sold it to that Retro Hollywood guy up there ^^^
-
Totally emailed you and got no response! haha
Looking for a shine with brown switches! Also with a wrist rest too :)
-
Replied! Sorry, occasionally I'm only able to check my email once per day.
-
Just placed an order with this fella for a Ducky Shine with Cherry MX Browns.
I'm waiting with bated breath for a tracking number!
(Actually a little worried with no replies to my payment in 16 hours, giving another 8 before I worry though)
-
I am a human with a job, friends and life as well as having this Ducky thing going on. If you don't hear from me for a period as little as 12 hours - don't worry. It's normal. I may be sleeping, or eating, or pooping, or doing something else humanly. Your keyboard is on it's way!

NO! No humanity! Or pooping!
Sorry if I'm a little paranoid, I kinda just got ebay scammed a week ago, so I'm a tad skittish.
One thing, I didn't receive an email from you with the tracking number, is there one? If so, mind sending it to me?
Thanks for dealing with me, a terrible customer.
-
Bizarre... Suddenly I can't post while browsing in Chrome. Never had this problem before. I'm now using Firefox.
Anywho. Thanks Ripster! Tips always appreciated. And to the fellow above, I shall email you your tracking number within one day.
-
Since this is an on going business, isn't better for you to ask iMav to have your own space in the vedor forum?
-
Huh, didn't know that was an option. Thanks for the tip.
Was anyone else having trouble with the Geekhack site the past few days? I was unable to post anything in Chrome (still can't) and the site was crashing Firefox. Working in Firefox now.

They had some issues, for me it works okay, Try to clean your coockies just in case
-
Update, biatches! I now have Ducky Shine's with red backlighting and red switches. And various others as well.
-
Hi everyone. I was searching for a distributor of these keyboards in North America and decided to go with rflux because of his location in Canada would mean less shipping hassle... plus support the 'local' guy!
I ordered the Shine (Browns) from him and received it without problem. Even got an extra loud Cherry Blue MX keychain that I can take to work!
I'm extremely pleased with the product and the service providing the product.
Once again, thanks rflux!
-
Once again, thanks rflux!
You're welcome, yo!
*yawn* if you really want to be a big timer, import some Ducky 1087 Green Alps son!
Good thinking... I'll see if that's an option.
-
I now have rubber O-rings for sale. They're made of Buna-N rubber. Very good stuff. $18 for one set. Fits any Cherry MX keyboard.
-
Hey, thanks for the info. Still unsure as to whether I'll be getting any Alps switch keyboards from Ducky but it is a possibility.
-
hey guys!
I use my Shining now for nearly 2 weeks (got it on December 23rd, happy and excited as a little child on Christmas day :D) and I love it!
At the beginning I thought it will take me a time to get used to the switches (my first mechanical keyboard) but after a few days at home I already noticed the mushy feeling of my rubber dome keyboard at work.
Now I’m getting a sort of fetish for mechanical keyboards. Almost every day I discover new things I want to try! :)
In short: I’m very happy I made this deal and especially I made it with this guy ;)
Nice and fast reply, best price for me on whole web and shipping to Austria took less than 2 weeks (despite of Christmas time) :)
Thanks again rflux.

-
Thanks, friend! Glad you're happy with it.
-
Hey I purchased some Ducky keychains from you before Christmas and I still haven't received them I was wondering if I could get a status update on them since it's been past the estimated time
-
Hey I purchased some sucky leychains from you before Christmas and I still haven't received rem I was wondering if I could get a status update on them since it's been past the estimated time
I also ordered some stuff from him and it just got to me this Monday. I think the holiday season is taking its toll on USPS. I'm guessing you're from Hawaii and it will probably take even longer then me.
Edit:nvm your from NJ
-
Yea, I hope so. I was also hoping to give this as a gift to someone before they need to go back to school, and that date is creeping up soon.
-
Hey there. Firstly - sorry for the delay in receiving the item. As Tennobanzai said there are definitely delays with both the US and Canadian postal services right now, likely due to christmas time. I haven't received some things I was expecting last week as well. Don't worry though. They'll make it to you.
In the future please contact me at mechboardscanada@gmail.com if you have any inquiries regarding orders placed. The thread isn't the most appropriate place for this kind of chatter.
Thanks!
PS - If anyone's considering doing an O-ring modification on their keyboards I strongly recommend it. Night and day difference when typing with rings installed. I love it. I have a few hundred rings available for sale. $18 per set.
-
Are you going to get any White LED shines anytime soon?
-
Nah, probably not. Not for a few months anyway. All I've got now are red and blue LED's.
-
dont mean to threadcrap but, 18 dollars for o rings? you aren't going to get a lot of sales when you can get them for half the price here (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?25714-O-Rings-of-various-thickness-and-softness-Group-Buy)
unless you're installing them yourself, then i guess 18 isn't too bad.
-
Is the Ducky Wrist rest for standard or TKL keyboards?
-

Yeah the price would include installation. I know, I've gotta update the descriptions with more detail.
Is the Ducky Wrist rest for standard or TKL keyboards?
Full size keyboards. I wasn't able to get any Tenkeyless sized wrist rests.
-
Do you ship to Europe ? I sent you an email, but I had no reply.
-
Hey there. Sorry about the delay. I've replied to your email.
-
Hey, Got My shinning Blue LED with Blacks Last week, Very satisfied with the product, quality seems solid, and the seller was more than accommodating.
The postal service screwed up, but I got the KB only a couple weeks later.
Thanks rflux!
-
Do you mark parcels with "gift" sign ? I'd like to avoid taxes and additional fees. As far as I know parcel cannot be declared to be worth more than $50 . I think nobody in customs office knows a lot about gaming keyboards, so lowering value of the board is nothing serious.
Looking forward to your reply

Yep, the parcels are certainly Gifts because there is no money being transferred. ;)
-
I hope you will answer my email soon. I've sent the money, but there were some inconveniences on the way. It's rather important ;)
-
Replied :).
-
Waiting for my order ;D I hope it's already sent and is going to me :)

Current Stock numbers in original post have been updated! Sorry for the inaccuracy the past while. My inventory methods were not up to snuff. :)

Ordered a Red Led Ducky Shine with Black switches plus O-rings 2 weeks ago. After payment was received it was shipped around midweek last week and i received it yesterday. Not too bad for an order from Winnipeg to Vancouver through Canada post. This is my first mechanical keyboard ever since the IBM Model M, and I love the quality of the board as compared to a bunch of other keyboards I've had previously, never going rubber dome again!
rflux was very helpful in the decision for which board to purchase and answered questions throughout the time I was waiting for this to arrive. It sometimes took a day to reply, but hey, he sleeps, eats and poops! Thanks rflux!
-
Purchased a Ducky Shine with MX Blue's and red LED's from RFlux (Mechkeyboards Canada). NO problems whatsoever. Shipped without issues and responded promptly. Would definitely pick up another for the office, maybe something quieter than the blue. :D
-
Got my keyboard (Shine MX Black with blue LED) about a month ago. Very happy with the product.
-
Thanks for the feedback, ladies and gents. But probably all gents. Where's the lady mechanical love? :)
-
Updated the first post. Should be getting more stock in the next few weeks. Keep checking back!

Hi rflux,
Any chances of importing 9008s with white LED??
Thanks!
