Ducky green switches
« on: Sun, 08 December 2013, 12:09:27 »
Several people have asked about Ducky's "green Alps" switches. I purchased a bag of each of the two Ducky types to compare with my stock samples from Xiang Min.

The black linear switches (KSB-N) appear to be no different from the stock product.

The green clicky switches (KSB-C) however have a much more tightly-coiled spring:

47280-0
47282-1

Green is Ducky's custom switch, and ivory is a stock switch direct from Xiang Min.

The end result is that Ducky's green Alps switches feel roughly the same as a white Alps switch, but a touch balky — my complicated white Alps switch has a smoother tactile peak. (Though my experiences with using white Alps keyboards have been largely negative.)
