Title: Ducky 1087?
Post by: lightsout714 on Mon, 24 June 2013, 14:01:16: Are these boards low quality compared to say a QFR?

I am tired of Costar stabilizers but didn't want to spend too much for a cheap ducky. Are they ok or should I avoid it?

Post by: jkercado on Mon, 24 June 2013, 16:31:44: For $33, it's definitely worth the price. I love the XM greens. Soft, clicky. Feels nice to type on.
