Don't hate. Instead of buying into the FUD, check one out. I would highly recommend the PBT keys; they are nice.

What are your reasons for liking the Ducky over da filco by a landslide? In my previous incarnation with the Ducky, it wasn't anything special over the Filco except for the HOTKEYS, thats about it and the off center ESC key didn't help either.

itlnstln · « **Reply #12 on:** Mon, 21 March 2011, 12:56:04 »

The media/shortcut keys are money, the key caps are by far better (PBT version), I also like the detachable cable, and I could really give a **** less about the off-center Esc. IIRC, I think the Filco has an off-center Esc as well, but I might be wrong. The Ducky is also quieter from what I can remember, but I would imagine that goes back to the PBT caps. Honestly, until I check out a full-size Leopold, I'd have to say that the the 9008 w/PBT caps is the best fullsize Cherry 'board on the market. That said a Ducky 9008 G2 is on my shopping list ahead of the Leopold.

You can get the version without the shortcut keys on PCHome with PBT caps. The PBT caps are so worth it. The keyboard is nice, too. Functionally, it's not really any different than the Filco, so if you already have one, I would probably just go with imsto's GO for PBT caps. The Ducky is so win, though. I really missed typing on it when I was on vacation this past week.

phillip · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 21 March 2011, 15:06:17 »

Thanks for the tip about it being on PChome. I do already have a fullsize filco wtih browns, so I probably won't buy one, but I'd rather pay for a keyboard that came with PBT keycaps for $140 or whatever instead of paying $65 for the caps alone.

I STILL sense "Recent Purchaser Bias", somewhat related to "Free Review Sample Blogger Bias".

Two things:

-I have had this keyboard for several weeks now, so "teh shinee" has worn off.

-I paid for this keyboard.

I sense there is some conflict between an assumption of suckiness and a realization of quality. It's funny that there was all this talk of people selling their Duckys and Noppoos, but at the same time there a bunch of people trying to sell their Realforces too.

The 9008 is pretty solid with the exception of the off center ESC key. Did I mention it has an off center ESC key? If I hasn't I'd like to take this time to mention that it have a off center ESC key. I probably would have bought the Tiger 9008G2 if it didn't has the off center ESC key, not to mention the high price or the off center ESC key.

I tune in every once in awhile to see if there is anything new in the market, but that's about it. It's too hard to sift through the crap around here to get a straight opinion on a keyboard anymore.

True. Nobody is saying it's a Realforce, but the 'board certainly isn't crap, nor is it of poor quality in general. Every 'board in this price range is going to have something that someone won't like. I didn't like the caps on the Filco, for example. Instead of looking at the documented evidence and/or buying one for themselves, everyone just wants to **** on it and spread FUD when in reality, it's a great alternative to a Filco at a lower price.

Luckily I never said it's crap except for the off center ESC key. I guess it may be a design compromise since the 1087/1008 does not have the off center ESC key. It was either build quality or off center ESC key for the ducky engineers.

I think PCHome put the kibosh on a lot of keyboard retailers once they opened up shop. They're not really full-service or as easy to buy from as Elitekeyboards, but who would want to start a store with products you can buy elsewhere without being able to beat them price-wise? Looking at the vendor forum, the eBay seller doesn't seem to be entirely too helpful for being the main US distributor (other than maybe Tankguys).

The few people who hang around this forum are keyboard savvy and passionate about the device.

Most of the questions are pretty simple.
-   Problem solving
-   Opinion
-   Review
-   Buying guide

It usually takes very few responses to nail the issue. The rest is just noise from lonely/social people who wants to talk with others.

I thought it was fairly similar to the Filco rest just single-level. I'm sure the 3-star from Elitekeyboards is about the same. I don't remember if they have a tenkeyless version, though.

EDIT: The Ducky rest is very wide. Keep that in mind if you're in the market. It's about .5" wider, if not a little more, than the average rest.
