[massdrop] Ducky G2 pro running now ( /again)
« on: Tue, 08 October 2013, 00:51:00 »
So, a decent keyboard but not quite what I'd want at this time for $105 shipped. I'm sure many here have used a Ducky but this seems to be a TKL, USB, with dipswitches for things like swapping Ctrl/CapsL and apparently you can switch off NKRO for 6KRO if that's needed for your ... gaming experience?

Already hit lowest price, 94+9.80 or thereabouts ($ USD) and comments say it's available with red or black switches. Or blue -- but no browns this run.

here is a link if you're logged in in another tab, but I don't know how to form (or find) the /?guest-mode switch to that URL so the rest of you can see if it's worth creating a MD account for.

Me? It's a nice keyboard but I think my money has other plans. Phantom with whites, just maybe ... or after I buy/build/use the ergodox I'll just find that poor guy on here that couldn't sell his HHKB-lite2 and use that for gaming because as I said in his classifieds thread, I really like my keyboard at work.

Anyway. Heads up, MD is running two nice keyboards at the moment. Also Neoball magnets.  :p

Plus it comes with a set of free PBT side printed caps which is a great deal.

Does anyone who owns this keyboard care to share their thoughts on it?  I have been casually looking for a TKL board with MX Blues and might bite on this one.  I'm also curious if people think it's a hot deal at the price or if there are other comparable or better options out there for ~100 bucks.

Thanks in advance!

I'm considering it. Do any if you have pictures of it with the PBT caps on?

I have this model w/ MX Browns and the blank white PBT caps. Quality feels nice and solid, I think its a pretty good deal for a brand new Ducky board w/ a set of PBT caps.

It's thin PBT's with side printing.
I've ordered mine on the previous drop.
Should be here this or next week. *fingers crossed*

As someone else pointed out, there's two sets of keycaps included this drop ... one set is side printed, one is not.

Also, while pictures would be cool, they'll get posted here a bit late for this drop
