Hello!
I've been having a hard time choosing between either the Nighthawk X9 or the Ducky Shine II TKL and would like to know what people think about the two. For now, I've been using the keyboard on my laptop for gaming and wanted to upgrade to a mechanical (hoping to get a desktop in the near future) and i decided it was time to upgrade after my shift keys and others started breaking. I'm a little worried though about switching to a full sized keyboard since I've been using the relatively small keyboard of my laptop for almost four years now. And since I have no use for a number pad, I'm thinking it might be a waste of space and throw me off with the hand distance from the mouse. I'm also worried about the customer support from Ducky or their vendors if something goes wrong with the keyboard, being that they're a foreign company. I've heard really good things about MaxKeyboard so there's no problem there I think.
While I mostly like the build and design of the Nighthawk more, the Ducky has the allure of the TKL model and a nice design itself. So my questions are, is there really much of a difference and/or awkwardness between a full-sized and a TKL? And which would be the better fit, the Nighthawk or the Ducky?
