TBH I don't think that most of the people here care about how good the internals of a keyboard are, they just don't want problems like what happened to the iOne Scorpius M10. A decently priced reliable keyboard is what they want.

I completely agree. I feel that the greatest force behind the resurgence of mechaical keybaords into the market has been the need for a keyboard to function as it should function. Don't get me wrong, this is pretty cool, but the only way anyone is going to see that lovely pcb is if you take your kb apart for them, or do some nifty clear-case mod...

I see what you did there.

I like the red pcb, even though I'll never normally see it.

They sold 8 keyboards.

I hear the USA Cherry Corp Sales Manager is jealous.

Ok, so I got news that Ducky will be releasing a limited edition board for the year of the tiger, and it will deviate from the DK-9008 in the following areas:

* The Function keys of the keyboard will use a special switch type
o For the brown DK-9108, the function keys will have Cherry MX Clears under them.
o For the blues, they will have greens.
o For the blacks, they will have greys.
* The keyboard will have a superior quality PCB that's made of (the engineering term slipped my mind), but basically the keyboard PCB will have much more layers than the conventional DK-9008.
* The keycaps will be black-on-black PBT.

Pricing wise it will be about S$225. Basically the same as the current PBT + wrist rest bundle, but without the wrist rest for this one.

Not so sure what will be used for spacebar hm :x

Moogle Stiltzkin · « **Reply #63 on:** Thu, 27 January 2011, 03:38:18 »

Any eta when this will be sold ?

digitalleftovers · « **Reply #64 on:** Thu, 27 January 2011, 10:57:54 »

I am curious how this will affect the standard boards in their line. Does anyone believe that this special edition is a kick-off to a design/feature refresh of their other boards? I assume if there were insight on this that someone would have brought it up already, but the timing of this announcement with the release of the FC500R seems more than a coincidence.

Does anyone know why F9, F10 and F11 have LED windows? Have past special editions had these?

F9 to disable the windows key
F10 swap Ctrl/Capslock location
F11 swap Alt / Windows Key location

Mr. Perfect · « **Reply #67 on:** Thu, 27 January 2011, 12:00:28 »

Oh, ok. Interesting features. Are they tap-on tap-off like the function locks, or do you have to hold down the key? Some games use those function keys and remapping the keyboard layout every time you do a quicksave could be annoying.:boink:

fssbzz · « **Reply #68 on:** Thu, 27 January 2011, 12:09:36 »

tap on/off type

Moogle Stiltzkin · « **Reply #69 on:** Thu, 27 January 2011, 12:10:09 »

@mr perfect

for F9, F10, F11

to engage them e.g. disable windows,

you need to hold down the function key as you press f9

Same method applied for f1-f7 and f9-f11

So you don't have anything to worry about.

fssbzz · « **Reply #70 on:** Thu, 27 January 2011, 12:17:12 »

i don't need to hold FN for the F9,F10,and F11.
it should work.
moogle you need to hold FN?

Moogle Stiltzkin · « **Reply #71 on:** Thu, 27 January 2011, 12:58:12 »

to enable/disable the windows e.g. fn + f9 yeah. have to hold down fn and then press f9.

same applies to the others.

exception being top right 4 media keys. Don't need to use the Fn for that.

I think it's on the way.

fssbzz · « **Reply #73 on:** Fri, 28 January 2011, 12:28:10 »

got it. =D

took it with my anniversary bear.

@moogle.
i checked. only space bar comes with clear switches.
haven't check 100% of the kb yet.

review will be up tmr.

fssbzz, how did you get the English version?

db_Iodine · « **Reply #75 on:** Fri, 28 January 2011, 12:36:40 »

Nice. Where did you get the English version of the keyboard? PChome seems to only stock the Chinese version.

Moogle Stiltzkin · « **Reply #76 on:** Fri, 28 January 2011, 12:38:31 »

Eh, top row function keys no clears ??

Well wouldn't matter to me anyway. Clears for spacebar sounds fun.

Brown spacebar which i've tried so far works fine. I take it the clear spacebar is slightly more stiffer ?

Anyway my doggy, lizard and sheep agree with your bear that the ducky is nice :}

It's just gonna be too much hassle reselling my keyboard, but worse still is waiting 4-6 weeks if ordering from Walrus. I waited ages before, and i'm not gonna do that **** again.

I have ready stock that's good to be posted out immediately

Very limited though, each of us can only order up to a certain quantity!

Moogle Stiltzkin · « **Reply #79 on:** Fri, 28 January 2011, 18:39:16 »

I may be interested (seeing there is no ridiculous wait time involved). Hopefully there is a friend of ducky discount for previous buyer such as myself :/

i wish they will have this on stock. but probably won't happen.
they doesn't even stock the white Ducky 1087, the new White 9008.
this limited version? probably don't think so.

fssbzz, which retailers would carry white versions of Ducky keyboards?
Any idea?

fssbzz · « **Reply #81 on:** Sat, 29 January 2011, 11:20:17 »

this keyboard work NKRO over USB. detachable USB.
will try it on my gf mac.

Moogle Stiltzkin · « **Reply #82 on:** Sun, 30 January 2011, 05:03:32 »

Whats the difference between a regular g2 and the tiger edition o.O; ?

fssbzz · « **Reply #83 on:** Sun, 30 January 2011, 09:30:32 »

probably the key cap? packaging, inside pcb maybe? mix switch?
how i wish i got my digital scale with me at Singapore
i'm pretty sure that this keyboard itself is heavier then regular ducky 9008.

and reporting, this kb is not working well with MAC.
contacted Walrus to try it again on his MAC, he says, it doesn't work very well too.

Does it act the same way as the Noppoo or is it something different?

i might be able to try when i got my noppoo tomorrow.
lol
still haven't got my noppoo here in Singapore.
this keyboard is more solid, more heavy then ducky 9008 regular.
they fix the feet of the keyboard too.
no more loosen feet.

db_Iodine · « **Reply #86 on:** Sun, 30 January 2011, 11:35:26 »

I hope that the increased quality will be moved onto their normal product range too. Some people might hope that the USB NKRO won't get moved onto their other keyboards though because of the compatibility with OS X.

Could you explain the difficulty? Is it not picking up certain keys? Could that be elevated with the use of third party apps?
