Hi All
I joined Geekhack today. Before I am using IBM KB-8923 keyboard at home for 13 years. Due to Ctrl key out of order. I bought Ducky DK1008 Brown keyboard (about $600 hongkong dollars) for my first Mechanical Keyboard.

Yeah, welcome to Geekhack. Let me know how you like DK1008. I'm looking to get a DK1087. They both should be similar except for the 10-keys and different layout.

Ducky is a good start, and your price is very good.

When I first came here I thought it ridiculous how many keyboards people owned.  It's a week later and I've bought three keyboards.  What have you done to me?!

Bought my first mechanical ages ago (on my 3rd AT101W). Found this site after getting my Das Keyboard in December. After ponying up for a Poker, I've since bought two more Filcos from Keyboard CO via Amazon. I'm still probably going to get another TKL MX Blue (probably a Leopold). All in 1 month.

In the words of Rick James: "Keyboards is a hell of a drug"

This week, I tried some Keyboard Red/Black for Ducky , Red for Cherry.  For Filco, this model with without demo.
For Ducky, the space between right arrow and members key is narrow than Cherry. I like Cherry than Ducky.
The shop also, have one type of Retail POS keyboard , one of white switch keyboard and Noppo keyboard

I live in Hongkong.

NO Realforce 87u in the shop.

Thanks moonhkt!  What is the name of the shop and where is it in HK?  Maybe good to add to the shopping wiki.  $77 definitely is a good deal for a ducky mech.  Since you have tried more keyboards, I think you are going to buy some more :)

This shop very small, It just one warehouse in Shamshuipo, Hongkong. Each time, call owner before walk in.  I found in internet by input mechanical keyboard.
This shop allow Overseas Buyer. I try to ask the owner any comment.

Thanks moonhkt.  Is it close to the Golden Shopping Centre?  Since you found it on the internet, do you have the shop's URL you can share, even if the site is in Chinese?  This shop could be a good source for us importers.  Thanks.

Thanks moonhkt.  That is a funky little shop.  So they don't stock anything and only get stock when you order?  Their prices is not very competitive.  For example I think pchome in Taiwan has lower prices for Ducky shipped to the US.  Will keep and eye on the site though.  Thanks.
