Email from Ducky in Taiwan

As you can see we have a selections for switches. All switches have equal amount of durability. The grey switch is very similar to the black switch, they both need more pressure to press. The keyboard is made in Taiwan, only our zero series keyboard is made in china.

Rewind (read this as post #0):

Dear Mr. Ducky,

I would like to know more about your switches. Can I choose which one comes in my keyboard? Which type of switch is the most durable? What is the difference between a grey and a black switch? Are all of your keyboards made in Taiwan?

Thanks very much,
Endzone

Seems like they answered your questions. Interesting that the Zero is made in China.

There was a discussion the other day about where Ducky keyboards were made.  There were a lot of guesses, and some said they were made in China and others said they were made in Taiwan.    This email seems to answer that question.

I did ask them if there was a keyboard witch switches firmer than dark grey.  They did not seem to understand that question, so I'm guessing there aren't.

I don't think any of those answers are in doubt. Only the Zero series is made in China; the rest are made in Taiwan.

All MX have the same durability (as published by Cherry). Availability of switches outside of Blue/Red/Brown/Black is still limited, although the rarer ones can be had with the thick PBT boards currently on sale.
