I've been considering switching to a blue-switch Ducky 1008, but when I search PCHome, I see
http://shopping.pchome.com.tw/DCAH0X-A51216278
and
http://shopping.pchome.com.tw/DCAH0X-A51222844
One claims "Green Axis" but shows blue switches.
The other, "Dark Green Axis" and appears to show black switches
(this according to Google Translator)
Now, a board with Greens has always been a drool for me... but I'm worried I'd be throwing a large sum of money into a board that would turn out to be Black switches.
Can anyone make real sense of what these products are? Thanks.

Green Axis = Blue switch
You should use japanese translation for the color. 青= Blue
BTW, you also used the wrong PChome, you should use global.pchome instead.

Here are MX Blue 1008,

BTW, why don't you add another bit and get the 90XXG2 series instead? Some people said that 10xx series sucks.

Well, I pulled the trigger on the 1008.
Honestly, I'm a bit worried that the 9008 would impair the behaviour of the Fn/Menu key, which I use a lot relative to many people. I also know that the three of the extra keys in the 1008 design can be configured by Foobar2000, not sure about the different ones on the 9008.
I also added a bunch of the cutesy upsells-- the $200 wireless mouse (need a spare), the $100 card reader, and that cleaning-paste stuff, so it came to 93 USD all inclusive... still less than the 9008.
