I've heard good things about the max keyboards.

Same as the op here, wanted a mech keyboard with cherry brown and backlit. Finally settled on the Max Nighthawk X8 as the Ducky Shine ver 1 has some issues(like backlit settings not getting saved etc) and I didnt want to wait for Ducky shine 2.

Ohh, didnt see that you had switched your preference to Blues. Yes, there don't seem to be a blue one from max keyboards. That's a bummer.

You may have to check your sights on a ducky then?

Off topic, I just placed an order for Nighthawk X8 after a month of going back and forth over the different keyboards. With the 20% off coupon, it comes to around $130 shipped.

Yea, probably should have made a new thread. As for the duckies, I have no clue which has some in stock. So far, none that I know off.

If you can live without the backlight I highly suggest this board : http://ncix.com/products/?sku=70726&vpn=FKBN104MC%2FEFB2&manufacture=Filco

I personally dont look at my keyboard while typing. thumb.gif
