no i think it's not good
duck's boards have been on a quality decline for the last year or so as well (really since viper/eagle v2)
and i think it doesn't look especially good
but again, it's a duck board and my opinion doesn't matter

As far as it is convenient for all of us. FCFS is always geared towards the people in North America. Best part of the purchases in the Lightsaver v3 GB were from GH members living outside USA and Canada.

It doesn't have the Home/Insert/Delete keys above the arrow cluster tho... He'll have another batch at some point soon I'm sure. There's a GB thread oh GH somewhere and his website here: http://txkeyboards.com/en/keyboards/txcp-detail (http://txkeyboards.com/en/keyboards/txcp-detail)

I would think he's talking about from Octagon V2 with the pretty lackluster finishing... Viper/Eagle with people needing to buy some third party accessories (I'm not really sure about this since I didn't follow the group buy, but apparently the design didn't accommodate for something)? Throw in the very frustrating software and inconsistent PCB's for hotlite, and really the only things that keep Duck as high as it is are: 1) Reputation, 2) Aftermarket pricing (Let's be real here), 3) Unique layouts, and 4) (Hoping that the materials come out well) Good looking products.
Just my two cents.

The Eagle/Viper acrylic front piece wasn't compatible with popular screw in stabs like zeal's so a mini GB was formed to have that piece remade.it's a duck GB

Post by: Atredl on Thu, 26 October 2017, 18:13:44
I think the acrylic inserts that didn’t accommodate the screw in stabs shouldn’t count against the quality of duck boards since screw-ins had just become popular again. Plus the clearance issue was fixed on the very next Duck board. I’d say that’s actually a point in their favor.The Eagle/Viper acrylic front piece wasn't compatible with popular screw in stabs like zeal's so a mini GB was formed to have that piece remade.

colorsDuck boards generally have two color options, black or silver. You can mix and match the tops and bottoms so that you have a silver top with black bottom or vice versa.

Black bird was 7 degrees and Jetfire is more simular to black bird than the lightsaver, so thats my best guess.
It's 11 degrees according to here

Would you mind posting a couple links to these if you have some at hand? I am curious to see these bottoms.
Duck also posted this (https://www.instagram.com/p/BaJnwh2jybN/) on his Instagram last month. Is that a Unicorn top paired with an Orion bottom?

I don't think so, 96key layout attracts much more buyers. The IC for LS3 had twice as many pages of replies as this has at this point. Didn't Blackbird take a couple days to sell out?
