Ducky Legend DK8087 Left-Sided with double-shot PBT (Cherry-like legend)

[VesperSAINT]

YES YES YES YES Now this is what I've been looking for

Ducky Legend DK8087 Left-Sided keyboard with double-shot PBT keycaps

I'm loving the layout and I'm also loving the DOUBLE-SHOT PBT (dem legend font).



Note: I didn't know but it seems that Vortex came out with the same keyboard. Should be interesting to see how this went down.

YES YES!! I love it too 
When it gonna be available?
Is it Cherry or OEM profile? How's keycap size? All common size?

This is the same board that Vortex shown, and the the same PBT double shot keycaps that Vortex was testing.

When they slap a Ducky name onto it, suddenly it becomes a great product.

I never saw the Vortex board Links?

Edit: Just found a picture! Why didn't I see this sooner?! That's great also! How's the pricing on this one?

oohh so they haven't released this yet either? Oo~ Pricing will probably decide Also depending on if Ducky will also include a double-layered PCB in this one. Does Vortex use double-layered PCB's? I don't judge a keyboard by it's brand name Why you make me out to be the bad guys, kaiserreich?

It looks to me that this Ducky board is a combination of Vortex's left hand board and their DS PBT caps. It's weird that it's a Ducky, despite the fact it's clearly Vortex products.

I don't like the font. But, it is double shot pbt.

Is get this it they have a version with clear switches.

You can say the same about the Ducky Mini.
You could also say the same about the original engraved PBT that was used on the Ducky Year of the tiger, and the KBC PBT engraved.

God knows what's going on there.

[insilica]

OMG. This looks awesome.

Now we just need double-shot PBT with a font that don't look like crap 

[alaricljs]

The Ducky font is a little better than the Vortex one.  Maybe KBC will come out with a set and a real font?

Cherry font. look like crap. confuzzled

Agreed. The thicker font is definitely nicer but I also hope they come out with the real Cherry font.

As someone who is ambidextrous, I thought a lot of lefties just learned the right hand format, but dang finally someone steps up to start left handed models

Take a look at the photos. They are not even remotely the same keycaps.

Vortex used somebody else or a different mold set for the keys which is very obviously low quality in every regard. Poorly centered, inconsistent centering, bad fill, and the list goes on. I mean holy hell, look at Caps Lock and Control. What the hell were they smoking this time?

Then Vortex goes and posts another photo which is quite literally the Ducky. Period. It is the same exact keyboard. Colors, fonts, the works. 100% guaranteed that Vortex is just rebadging the Ducky (which means it'll cost more.)

[quake4mhg]

This layout is perfect for a weird person like me ... not a lefties, but use left hand enter numbers and both hands can closer together to games.
Currently using Race + numpad or an actual left-hand keyboard at work.
Thanks Geekhack taught me how to choose a proper keyboard some proper keyboards for myself

So is Vortex rebranding a Ducky product or vice versa? Or are they just both using the same OEM? Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Ducky usually manufacture their own products?

Vortex is rebranding Ducky, period. This is not a new thing, or even the first time. ONI and ONE are also Ducky rebrands with Vortex specified keycaps as the only difference.

I would like a left handed mech. + points for programmability T_T
