Is this an issue with this keyboard? It is very noticeable and I did check to make sure the switches were Red on the Ducky.

They are suppose to have the same Cherry stabilizers.

Both are MX Red.

The K70 is unquestionably more sensitive/less resistant. The G2 is my work keyboard and I really wish it was more like K70. I want to speed type with the least amount of resistance and the G2 isn't like my K70.

I get harder depending on the keyboard.  Maybe one of them likes you more.
60% keyboards, 100% of the time.

I thought that the G2 Pro had PBT caps? And the K70 will have ABS caps. You might be feeling a slight difference between the two boards because of that. Just because it has the same boards and switches doesn't mean it will feel exactly alike.

what do you mean, less resistant, is this all the keys or just the stabilized keys that you're talking about.

Also, the keyboards need to be broken in.. so there will be a period where the new keys won't feel as smooth as used keys.

The keys with stabilizers seem more resistant than the rest, but I guess I mean the the keys in general.
