Noppoo PRO, PLU-G3000 or Ducky DK9000G2.
« on: Mon, 12 March 2012, 14:32:12 »
Hello fellow Geekhackers,
after discovering mechanical keyboards I've decided to buy one...
It isn't an easy decision since I live in Greece where there are practically no mechanical keyboard sellers (the only mechanical keyboard here is Razer Blackwidow at 90€ (around 118$) which I am not quite fond of...
So I decided to buy one online with a budget of 100€ (around 131$) including shipping)
The budget limit unfortunately excludes Filco (170€ from "keyboardco.com" and around 140€ from  "hksuntec.com" or "armygroup.com.tw" incl. shipment to my country) and most of the high profile brands from Europe or United States.
The three affordable keyboards for my situation are these (around 100€ incl. shipment):
Noppoo PRO Mechanical Gaming keyboard Cherry MX Brown, NKOR,POM Caps
PLU-G3000 Mechanical Game keyboard Cherry MX Brown NKRO
Both from Qtan or
Ducky ChuangJie DK9000G2 ABS black tea-axis mechanical keyboard  
from PCHome (PCHome has almost half the shipping rates from ArmyGroup)
So my question is which one of them do you suggest in terms of value/quality?
I'd appreciate any personal experience on the subject.

PLU. Don't support keyboard manufacturers with ****ty engineering practices. Can't speak for the build qualities of them but Noppoo have been known to use bad USB NKRO implementations.

Perhaps the Choc Pro has better guts. I highly doubt it, but it is possible. Anyone with a pro want to chime in?

Following with interest, non-TKL threads are always interesting.
