Oh i see, i thought it was related to every Code keyboard :D
very interesting and helpful, thanks
anyway if i go to the Code keyboard, i will get certainly custom fees.
if we only focus on both Ducky/Code keyboard
Except Ducky can have MX-Red while Code only provides Clear/Green
Which one seems to be better overall?
With care. any USB cable should be able to be plugged and unplugged thousands of times. The problem with a lot of mechanical keyboards is that the plug has to be angled to fit into the socket underneath they kryboard. This often puts extra strain on the plug and, more often, on the socket.
You might be surprised how many people discover that the mini-USB socket in the keyboard simply snaps off, as many are held on just by the electrical connectors.
I tend to leave the cable plugged in all the time, partly to avoid straining the plug and socket, but also to keep the right cable with the right keyboard. About the only one I unplug regularly is the HHKB, and that socket is readily accessible on the back of the keyboard. I am very careful when I plug and unplug that!
my ducky pings pretty badly just FYI
I think it's the better option but most people complain about ping with the keyboard

Wonder why nobody uses USB full size connector. These are more robust and there is still enough space for them.
I would rather avoid non backlit keyboard since i prefer ABS feeling over PBT
Standard ABS will be suffering from wearing off issue
I had two keyboards with ABS non backlit keycaps and both had wearing off issue after couple days :(
I find backlit as cool as useful especially in low light conditionI would rather avoid non backlit keyboard since i prefer ABS feeling over PBT

I do not really think this has to do with backlit or non-backlit. Some of the backlit keycaps have had similar issues and worse.MoreShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/3IQeb.jpg)
Instead, look at the method that is used to create the legends on the keycaps (double shot, laser etched, pad printed etc). However, none of those methods should lead to legends wearing off in a matter of days. For example, Filco used one of the crappiest methods for their keycaps by padprinting them (looks horrible too). However, I used a Filco with the stock keycaps for years and the legends have not faded.

Hello guys!
I want some advice too.
I want to buy a new keyboard, i love MINI keyboards, or TKL keyboards. I play a lot of game, usually strategy games, but i love to talk with chat programs, so i thinking about cherry MX brown, or in topre keys.
I need backlight because i play usually in night times.
I need ISO layout too because i am Hungarian:).
Thanks any advice.

Hi, i would definitely switch from my poker II to other 60% / TKL
Poker II is great keyboard, no doubt but no dedicated arrows and these PBT keycaps, it feels strangely uncomfortable
I found severals great pokers that would fit to my wishes:
- White backlit would be nice
- ABS keycaps as well (but i will be afraid of lettering wearing off over time)
- MX Red or Clear.
- Ship to Europe.
Ducky Shine TKL with MX-Red
- it seem to be out of stock anywhere
Code keyboard TKL with MX-Clear
- Massdrop made a group buy but its for full size!
KBT Pure non backlit version, ABS standard keycaps
Found on amazon.co.uk, ship to Europe.
Ducky Shine has my favor but hard to find it available.
Code keyboard has ping and usb cable issue (that could damage internal keyboard motherboard)
KBT Pure comes with standard ABS keycaps, due to my former experience, it gets shiny quite quickly and lettering (especially on WASD which means alot of keys pressed all massively during short time) could wear off too quickly as well
Note: i got used to type on red, i never tried MX-clear but clearly tempted if they are as good (for typing) as people would pretend
feel free to give any other keyboard suggests
thanks ;D
sending to Euroe = custom fees
But thanks anyway, the best chance to get Ducky for my own case, its on Ebay (it pretty sucks that my wanted Ducky isnt avail yet on Ebay)
Dude. A year ago I would have agreed with you. But unless you are ordering from Asia and have the seller undervalue your package chances are slim you will slip through.sending to Euroe = custom feesdoode belive u me, been there done that there's no custom fees under 150 Euros for any "cargo" or you can choose option "gift" and then you got 1000 Euros free of charge. As long you are keeping UE ID (passport driving license and so on).
