Title: Thinking of ordering a Ducky from PCHome. Have some questions.
Post by: ShaPeLesS on Sat, 05 October 2013, 07:53:42
Hey guys,

Has anyone here ordered from PCHome? I'm thinking of ordering this keyboard (Ducky DK2108LS) http://global.pchome.com.tw/english/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH0X-A77247621

However, I have a quick question. First, look at this picture: http://i.imgur.com/Kd8gmNI.png

Look at the red square I have marked. If I choose "Chinese" will I get a Ducky keyboard with English letters and Chinese ones in the corner? For example like this: http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/O9bLt_Phf54/maxresdefault.jpg

Or will I get a keyboard with only Chinese letters?

Thank you!

I've purchased one of my Duckys from Pchome and they ship fast, but the 7 day return policy isnt that great.  When its spelled out as "Chinese" there will be primary English with Chinese on the bottom of the keycaps. 

When its listed like in the image below there will most likely be pure Chinese keycaps.  Also the "DK2108LS" versions, have a large enter key even though they are in ANSI layout, while the "DK2108S" versions have the normal enter key for the ANSI layout.

DK2108S - normal ANSI enter key

DK2108LS - larger enter key with split backspace key on ANSI layout

Thank you for the reply! I went ahead and ordered the keyboard. Also, I prefer the big Enter key :)
