Title: Question about Ducky w/ Cherry MX Greens
Post by: eRadicatedZomBiE on Mon, 11 March 2013, 21:32:46
Wanted to see if anyone had any idea or information if ducky was going to release the Ducky DK9008G2 with green switches again or do they have a new board coming out that will have them. I'm trying to find one now but there's no hope. :(

Duck was going to do a whole series of specialty switches (Green, Grey, Dark Grey, White), but I think they got rolled into the new thick dyesub PBT boards which are a few months off. Yes they are coming sometime this year; stay tuned.

They need to hurry it up. I want a Ducky with Greens and Clears so bad >.<

Yes.  Their Facebook page shows all the switches they will support including Green, Gray, White, etc.  That's good news, since a lot of those switches are apparently rare.  Trust me, I'm definitely in the hunt to get a Green MX keyboard too.  Hopefully, they'll be coming over soon (ie. the next few months).  To put it in perspective, they announced the DK9008G2 with Green MX on Oct 1st.  It made it stateside about the end of November.  With any luck, we'll start seeing these keyboards by summer.  Heck, I'd probably buy the CM-Storm XT keyboard with Green switches if they ever released it.  The Trigger is too big for my use.

CM might be your best bet if you cannot wait. I sold my Ducky Green board; it was awesome but it didn't suit me for gaming.

Wish I knew that.  I'd buy a Ducky Green if someone is willing to sell theirs.  The Ducky Green would be for work where I do most of my typing.  I like a backlit keyboard at home, so I'll probably stick with Cherry Red's for home use.  Actually, I can wait.  I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of nice keyboards in the future.  Overall, mechanical keyboards are really making a comeback.  I get a lot of compliments at work about my keyboard, and a couple of people have already ordered one for themselves.  The more demand will mean more choices.  Love it!

If you do manage to find one.

You better hope all the keys click when you get it, otherwise it will get lost in Ducky RMA Limbo!

Or you can fix it yourself or live with it.

If I get one and one key doesn't work I'll just blame you. ;D

They would probably have to cannibalize some from another keyboard I guess.  If CM-Storm is so adamant about pushing Green MX's they should have individual switches in stock.  WASD sells Red, Blue, Brown, and Black's.

Feel free!

The KB felt great! other then the non-clicking keys which made it annoying to type on.

Still thinking mine is lost in Limbo somewhere, I  should of just kept it and lived with the non-clicking keys.... sigh :(

Check with WASD Keyboards. They will be selling their V2 with Clears this summer. They may start selling individual clears too.

Unless in their picture you can actually see that the switch color is green, green on their site = MX blues.

I think you might be right, luckily it was a toss up between the blues and greens.
