Ducky 1087?
« on: Mon, 24 June 2013, 14:01:16 »
Are these boards low quality compared to say a QFR?

I am tired of Costar stabilizers but didn't want to spend too much for a cheap ducky. Are they ok or should I avoid it?

If they're anything like my 1087XM, they are probably some of the lowest quality boards I've ever used.

Absolutely terrible. Mine's been in a box ever since I got it (pressed exactly 4 of the keys and packed it up).

Mine convinced me to aim for a custom Alps :)  It is a pretty sad KB tho, but is good for the price.

For $33, it's definitely worth the price. I love the XM greens. Soft, clicky. Feels nice to type on.

He's asking about the MX switch version guys. Not the 1087XM with the Alps switches.

They are really bad quality. I got one with blues to harvest the switches, I don't type on it really, just sits there on the shelf.
I got boards.
