Having a difficult time to decide... need a switch that is nice for double taps on spacebar... I'm getting the Ducky One but can't decide between black or red. I have a heavy hand somewhat. I've used both black and red switches before and like both.... I'm considering going back to black, wouldn't a heavier spring result in faster double taps since the keys rebound faster?
Also is the build quality good on the One's?

REDS!

Just bought the Ducky One TKL Blue LED :) Cherry MX Reds, with a keycap puller :) Can't wait for it's arrival ! How's the build quality on the Ducky One? I'm excited. hehe.

I have a (only made in white case/chassi and 2015 ex) Ducky One RGB YOTG, Cherry MX Black and it is a good build quality.
The case/chassi is lookin better than the Shine 4/5 RGB "Bigfoot" cases/chassies.

EDIT: I got a keycap puller with the Ducky board and there was a keycap puller in boxes of my Shine 3/4 boards.
I have some of Duckys keycaps sets and there is a keycap puller in the boxes.

Cool pics dude.
So with my Ducky One TKL, later down the line... will I be able to buy new keycap sets or new keys if I wanna mod it up and make it look fancy? :P

Ducky usually (always?) make boards with standard layouts and the One definitely is, so you should be good to buy any keycaps when (not if :p) the time comes - if it's ANSI the standard base kit should have everything you need.

Blacks. I have fairly strong hands, not exactly heavy-handed. Reds are way too light for me now, although I did like them when I first tried them. But I now have a definite preference for blacks over reds.
I also tend to bottom out on almost everything, including BS and clears.

Ducky Shine 3/4/5 RGB, Ducky One/RGB YOTG have a standard bottom row (Ctrl, Win, Alt, FN/Menu = 1x1.25 and the Spacebar = 1x6.25).
You can take a look here:

Ducky, Das, Deck, WASD + the Max Blackbird TKL in the link have a standard bottom row.
Is it ISO/UK or ANSI layout?
Here in sweden we use the ISO/Nordic layout but it is a hell to find good lookin keycaps sets, only one shop sellin some ISO/Nordic keycaps sets from WASD + one red Ducky keycaps set.
That's why I'm usin ANSI k-boards.
