You can't go wrong with the Rosewill or WASD. At that point, it's a matter of aesthetics.

I still don't trust Ducky.

Ya it seems everyone is a little skeptical about ducky. Is there a reason behind it? Thanks.

Cant go wrong with a WASD or Rosewill.

Never a Ducky with quack engineering.

I love the WASD I'm typing on right now, it's super nice and I have a slight grudge against Rosewell to begin with

from wat i heard, it was only the ducky 1087xm that had problems, i havent heard of any problems with the dk9000 and dk9008 lineup.

btw, i got a ducky shine about 3 weeks ago and have been loving every minute of it.

I ordered a ducky 87 brown TKL around 4-5 months back and received it within 5-7 business days in Canada ($90 shipped PCHome). Being my first mechanical keyboard, I didn't know what to expect, however, I did have a decent laptop-styled logitech keyboard I was using prior-to.

My experience thus far has been rather nice. The keys aren't the "perfect" soft (I could go for softer), but everyone has their own preference. What seems "close to perfect" to me, may be perfect for you. I've only had one complaint since the day I plugged in the keyboard and that would be the fact that the keys I use more often are turning from white lettering into grey lettering (obviously cause of use). That's not to say they are smudging in any way, just the whiteness is getting a bit less (which is probably common in any keyboard). Other then that, the keyboard is fantastic. Easy typing, compact, detachable USB cord, free WASD/~/esc key + keycap puller, no problems whatsoever since the day I bought it.

Again, as I haven't tried other mechanical keyboard I really don't have much to compare it to. All I can say is that I'm not dissapointed. And once again, I was using decent non-mechanical keyboards prior to this mechanical.

Also, incase you're not aware, the $90 Ducky TKL Browns on PCHome are currently sold out (the English lettering ones). They seem rather popular.

Hope this is of help.
