Welcome to Geekhack!

Presumably you have a Mac?  The Ducky is not Mac layout, but works well with a Mac (mine does, although it is a TK Shine version 1).

Yes my mac is for work but i have my PC next to me and I'm still using a G510 and it sucks going from an awesome mechanical to a crap rubber dome keyboard.

Yeah, tell me about it.  At least I have 2 mechanical keyboards on my desk at home (one no my Mac, one on my Windows games box).  I am trying to convince myself to get another mech board for my server, but my wallet keep screamins "NOOOOOOOOOooooooooo!!!!!!!!".

Can't go wrong for that price, at least the regular price is not excessive.  QFR about the cheapest good quality keyboard around, comparable to Filco.
