im choose brown,
im must only choose filco or ducky shine...
If you want a nice sturdy keyboard, Filco. If you want a nice board with a variety of LED modes, Ducky.
I do not know what to choose...

I would agree with this. FWIW, I have a Filco Majestouch 2 and I'd say it's my favorite stock keyboard.
My friend owns a Ducky and Rosewill keyboard and he says it's sad that the cheaper keyboard (Rosewill) feels nicer to type on.
And Filco is better than Rosewill so therefore it's safe to assume Filco will feel nicer to type on than Ducky.
That and I own a Filco too. It's the standard for solid construction no gimmick keyboard.
So the question is if you want a good solid keyboard or if you want pretty lights.
Filco should take a page from WASD's playbook and come out with a cheaper keyless "barebones" option.

I think that you're not considering them fairly at all. First of all, all keyboards with plates feel extremely similar if not the same. Case construction might change that, but everything that isn't a Korean custom is plastic anyways. From all of the reviews I've read, the Ducky is always mentioned as very high build quality, quite heavy (whether this speaks to the double-layer PCB or just better case construction, I don't know), and the Ducky Yellow which recently came out has very thick PBT caps, much better than the often-complained-about thin ABS on the Filco.
Filco really doesn't live up to its hype. With Ducky, I don't mind paying $140 on a keyboard because it has solid construction, developed lighting, which actually took a lot of research, and is customizable. The Filco, in comparison, is a barebones, featureless keyboard; the same as a QFR, but at over double the price.
A better comparison would be if you want a tank or an Audi. Both are good choices.
Actually I'd agree with you on the build quality part, they're probably pretty close.
My friend's argument was mainly that Filco "feels" better to type on. I'm guessing it's probably due to Costar stabilizer feel less scratchy compare to Cherry stabilizer. He also doesn't like the fact that Ducky used MX Black for spacebar on his MX Red board. Though that was for Ducky Shine 2 I don't know if Ducky still does this.
As for PBT keycaps, I guess you are right PBT does feel better. Though in that case you're forced to buy Ducky G2 Pro over Shine 3.
However at the end of the day I think both are good keyboards, there's no right or wrong. It's kind of like what would you "prefer" to buy.
You can buy whatever board you want if you want PBT caps. You just buy them aftermarket.
where I order only have ninja mx brown QWERTZ... Im need QWERTY.

If you want to blow $70, sure. For many, getting the Yellow Shine 3 costs nearly nothing, because there's no really better keycap you can get that's 'better'. If you don't like the color, sure, but for most users, thick PBT is the best thing available. It's certainly the most expensive.

lol yeah that edition is probably best for both worlds, thick PBT + backlit except it's..... yellow...... if it was white case blue LED then I'd buy it. :P
guys, ninja is better?

Experience will vary but most will agree that filco makes sturdy keyboard and most are content with the browns. I just feel like ducky's keyboards feel a little cheap

Have you ever tried a Ducky, by any chance? Because I very, very strongly doubt you'd feel that way if you did.

Ive had a ducky and a filco
The only diff i felt was the stabalizers

my ducky was lighter than my filco.
The ducky's about 2.8lbs while the filco clocks in around 3.6lbs.
I agree on the stabs feeling diff, but also the "feel" of the keyboards was different. I think the rubber feet on the ducky aren't as "grippy" as the filco.
Course the ducky PBT caps are superior to Filco's ABS caps though.
If anyone is leaning towards Ducky but wants something cheaper without backlit and Tenkeyless - MechanicalKeyboards.com just got the 2087 Zero's in. The stabilizers should feel much better than the ones in the Shine 2.

If only they had one with clears... :(

Which baffles me. Ducky has only sold MX Clears on the full size. If the switches are that hard to acquire you'd think they'd stretch them out on TKL or 60% boards.
if you play cs:go. which is FPS game. you should buy the one with red switch, since you probably gonna double tap a lot. and if you don't need backlighting you should choose Filco

I have typed on both and I think Filco is slightly better. For Ducky lighting led, you will enjoy it for a month only but the Filco typing feel you can enjoy much longer.
I don't see any difference in the feel/experience in typing in a Filco - they use coated ABS - the same with Ducky. Unless you're comparing two boards with different MX switches.MoreI have typed on both and I think Filco is slightly better.

How is the typing feel different? Does the typing actually feel different, or is it just a difference in feel of the keyboard chassis?

Are you speaking from experience with actually typing on a Filco, or are you speaking hypothetically (ie. "I don't see why Filco would be any different")?I own a DK9008S3 and tried a Filco. Almost feel the same - except for the stabilizers. If you don't want a LED backlit mkb - you could also try Ducky Zero to be on(almost) par with Filco's specs.
I see... yea, I have to assume it's the Costar (delicate) vs. Cherry (coarse) stabilizers you're seeing the differences in and referring to. If that's the case, I have no problem with Cherry stabilizers (I actually prefer them), so I guess I wouldn't mind a non-Filco board at all...

The typing feel difference is clearly inherent in alphabetical keys which has no stabilizers at all. If you own both brands, you will understand what I mean without any intellectual rationalization from your part. You feel it.
I would also like to add that having a huge price tag - doesn't mean high quality parts/build.MoreMy friend owns a Ducky and Rosewill keyboard and he says it's sad that the cheaper keyboard (Rosewill) feels nicer to type on.

Remember this is geekhack, where usb ports are contraband and backlights are too hard to turn off.
Having extra features IS a sign of bad quality here.

I think Filco is much better than ducky, I don't like the light when I'm typing.
:p
But, ducky is much more creative than filco.
