Title: Ducky G2 (the red special edition) on Ebay - USA Seller
Post by: itlnstln on Wed, 23 February 2011, 10:45:41
If I like the Ducky, I might put one of these on the short list.  It's a little pricey, though, but I like the engraved caps.  What's a little frustrating about that listing is that there are no pics of the 'board as a whole.

Yeah, I need to re-list the HHKB here. The Noppoo rocks.

The only major difference I can see between the special edition Ducky and the standard one with PBT caps is that the caps on the G2 aren't filled.  Otherwise, they seem to be the same (besides the red PCB and logo on the case).

Nice find ripster, saw this yesterday and was going to post. But figured you can get one cheaper at pchome. Definitely worth it for those who are in the US and aren't up for ordering over seas!

PCB using FR-4 material, this can help withstand high temperatures

So what, if you set fire to it the thing will burn for longer....

Or just that you get more magic smoke when the caps go ?

PCB tech is fine IMO, the same with surface mount.
I have yet to hear of things going dead quick because of the SM stuff letting go quick ??

Or what they really are trying to say is that they got stung with a load of gank parts first time round and now have sourced some better kit.
