I'm looking for a portable mechnical keyboard so I can take it around with me for work so I don't have to type on those dreaded chiclet style keyboards and I'm not really finding any that have cherry mx blue switches, there's a few browns, but I'd prefer blues if at all possible. Also, a case for it would be nice as well.

Would be nice to know when this will be up for sell as it's perfect in size and it's by Ducky

Don't know about the Ducky Mini, but the Poker 2 is a solid, reasonably priced option with the same form-factor. It has nice function layers, available backlight, many switch options, easy to find and you can get aluminum cases for it if you want. The multicolored LED options on the ducky are really the only standout feature that I see. That said, I wouldn't mind giving the Mini a spin when it comes out despite having a Poker 2.

you sure you want blues in an office workspace? I brought one with blues to work , and it wasn't even 8:30 before someone asked me what that annoying clicking sound was.

I work in prisons, so the noise won't be bothering no one at all.

I was under the impression the CM QuickFire were MX Red switches only, guess I was wrong. I can't seem to find them on sell anywhere, Amazon has them on back order for 3 to 8 months.

The QuickFire Rapid is available in Blues, Reds, Browns, and Blacks, but like you say it's very hard to acquire due to its popularity. A KBT should be a good choice, or a Ducky DK9087 G2 Pro or the QuickFire Stealth.

Any idea when it'll be available in the EU (UK specifically)? It looks awesome.

It really is awesome! I find myself using it more then my Quickfire XT. With the release of our new Rapid-I (Quickfire Rapid with LED's), been thinking of upgrading

I do not have any information regarding EU, however if you can find a way to import it. Do it!
