Title: Cherry Mx Keyboard
Post by: tobr1an on Mon, 19 November 2012, 17:40:33

Deciding which green mx keyboard should I get. The Ducky DK9008G2 or the QuickFire Rapid.

1) The Ducky DK9008G2 is a fullsize with PBT keycaps for 139$

It's all about preference and what you plan on doing with it...

I love PBT caps, I don't like full size boards.

I paid $45 total for my first set and $90 for my second.  I'm very happy with both purchases... but I had some understanding what I was getting into before I made those purchases and they lived up to (and exceeded in the 2nd case) my expectations.
