Ducky OCN TKL Keyboard

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
Well, a while back I posted about me ordering it, and today it arrived. It's 2 weeks late, but since it's across borders, I understand. Customs suck so much. I apologize for the crappy pictures, I don't have a digital camera handy and my iPhone's camera kinda sucks with the lighting in my room.

Prior to opening it


Right after flipping the lid


Out of it's cloth carry bag (nice touch)


Out of my way plastic cover!


Close up on the OCN version




I ordered some PBT keys as well but it didn't reside in my box, so we'll see.

I got the MX Blues and they are a whole lot quieter than my BW and my Filco. Don't know why but yes. When I get my key plopper back, I'll start taking them out and seeing the different switches. I'm under the knowledge that the space and some other keys that I forget are not MX Blues, but something else. The space has a whole different feel to when pressing it so it must be due to the different switch. So far, I love it. It's a whole lot better as a TKL than a full in my opinion. Only problem I had with it was the shipping and when I was plugging the USB to my PC, my PC had to go Overvoltage Protection mode. Probably due to a static shock that was my fault.

I'll be buying more Ducky's from now and may switch from Filco since Filco's are so damn expensive! Still I love my Filco and will be using that as my main laptop keyboard.

The space on the ducky will be a green for a blue keyboard.

How is the difference between the cherry and coster stabilisers feel? - I found it a little hard to get used to a first however I'm well used to it now.

Yea, it feels like it takes away all the tactile-ness. It's really hard to get used to but I guess it absorbs the shock a bit more and pressing the space is a bit more comfortable. I like it but really lacks what I wanted out of a mechanical keyboard.

The stabalizers feel completely different from my other keyboards, but we'll see how it goes after a week of typing.

See I was going to get a filco in reds but i really liked the look of the ducky shine.. so thats what i went for. The filco would have been about 40% cheaper for me too.

Order from mechanicalkeyboards.com
No offense to Tankguys but it took an entire month to get to me. 9 days to get across the border and from there, they didn't supply me with a tracking number for international shipping and I was lost for about 2 1/2 weeks about my keyboard. I almost just gave up on finding my keyboard.

How do those ABS keys feel in comparison to PBT for you?
