Zowie vs Ducky
« on: Sun, 15 May 2011, 02:55:58 »
Saw this video on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC1XWE3Cses
the guy says that although both keyboards have brown switches, the das somehow "feels" better,

did anyone get to try out and compare both?  Since I think the ducky/filco and das keyboards are built by the same company (read this somewhere)

would you say a ducky or das keyboard with mx browns is of better quality than a zowie celeritas and the keys feel better to type and game on?

das and filco are among top quality boards.

ducky and zowie are not popular, but that doesn't mean their quality isnt on par.

Just get a topre

So Ducky have a quality issue? Should I just stick with Filco?

if it was me, no. I liked my ducky g2 way more than my filco. I am not impressed with Filco, but then again I like razer.

that means I must be a robot

I like my G2 too. But I don't know if other Ducky boards will have the same quality. I know I will like Filco. But I already have 3 of them. I'm also looking at Leopold on EK too. It's otaku with browns and it has detachable USB cord. Decision, decision... The search for my tenkeyless continues...

thanks for your replies

so you're all talking about filcos (no option for me because of the missing media keys)

but what about the zowie, did anyone get to test and compare it?

That Zowie layout is going to screw you up, if you use the right shift key.

I want another tenkeyless. I thought I was going with Filco tenkeyless brown. Then I was looking at Ducky 1087. Now I'm also looking at tenkeyless Leopold otaku brown. I guess I'll take it slow and wait until I make up my mind. Right now I'm going back to the tenkeyless Filco :)

Not as detailed as I'd like but it's probably the best I've come across.
