CM Storm QFR or Ducky One?

[Northwolf1]

I can't decide whether to get a Cm Storm QFR or Ducky One as my first mk. I can get them locally for about the same price($10ish difference) Is there a major difference in quality between the two?

Ducky all day.

I'm very statisfied with my QFRs.
Never had a Ducky.

Extremely satisfied with my QFR. Never had a Ducky, but I can't imagine the low tier ducky is any better than a qfr

The QFR case can be easily modded to fit the phantom PCB, if you ever go that route.

I've had both. I preferred the ducky a bit more. I would definitely go the ducky route if you plan on doing any modding having to do with the PCB. Outside of that the quality difference isn't that huge

Welcome to Geekhack!

My first modern mechanical keyboard was a Ducky Shine.  it is still going strong.

Now I have three Duckys.

Somewhere along the line I managed to get a QFR and also a QFS.

All those keyboards are still going strong, none has exhibited any fault at all!

Except for my second Ducky with MX blues, where two switches did not click consistently, but mashing those switches a few thousand times "wore them in" and now they are virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the keyboard.
