Excellent.

Where my TKL Ducky?

[Hyde]

Are mx greens just blue with a harder spring?  And sweet everyone's catching on the PBT trend

[alaricljs]

Yes on the switch Q.

[TheJesus]

I'm definitely interested. Any idea on price or availability?

Unfortunately not. All they said was that it will be available in Taiwan in November.

Damn, I'd love a hiragana set.

Interesting that they have LEDs on the WASD keys in that photo...

All that green is strangely appealing ...

I am so disappointed that this in't a TKL.

I'd love to try this in a Ducky shine.  I like my two MX blue shines, but I still want a stiffer keyboard closer to buckling spring.  I think the greens might be perfect for me.

Ducky just announced on their Facebook page a multi-switch version using Red, Black, and Gray switches for variable feel.  The only thing that doesn't make sense is the Red is the primary switch in the middle of the keyboard with Black switch shift keys and Gray for function keys and the spacebar.  Shouldn't the stiffer keys be front and center and the lighter keys on the outside?  Still and interesting keyboard though.

What's the feel for the Gray switch?  I haven't seen those before.

It's designed so you bottom out in the middle, and kill your pinkies at the same time.

What's the feel for the Gray switch?  I haven't seen those before.

It's just a heavier black for the spacebar on cherry keyboards.

There is a lighter grey switch that is used for the spacebar on browns.

According to Ducky's Facebook page, they started taking pre-orders for the new Green MX and variable MX boards in both 104 and 87 key versions.  I hope we can get our hands on this!  I'm up to do a group buy or whatever to get the full size Green MX 9008 Pro 2.  I know Mechanical Keyboards was trying to get some of these.  Ironically, the are doing the pre-orders because they said there was limited interest for those keyboards.  I think people would be all over those if they would ship them over here.

where can i buy some MX green switches??

Finding the green once are really, really hard. I looked around, and the only information I could find was "As of 2012, these switches are available directly from the manufacuturer and some suppliers."
Even the Cherrycorp's own website had no information on the green switches, but you can try digging a bit more than I did, maybe you're lucky and find them hidden far into the interwebz.

Where do you see it available for preorder?

It was mentioned on their Facebook page.  Today, they just put up pics of their Green MX keyboard (the box anyways).
