Ducky vs Das

deano-g · 7 Jul 2014 at 22:01

hi all, as the title states which is better/would you go for.

I had a filco majestouch for about 15 months, when certain keys stopped working.

i've replaced the switches to no avail, so have put it down to the pcb itself.
The problem i have is what to go for, the filco has black switches and would prob prefer red.

Budget is not a problem, reliability is cheers in advance.

Duckys are super solid, using shine 3 with reds and its great.

As above, I have a Shine II TKL with blacks and it is superb.

Had a ducky for a fair while, I think since September. I Love it.

Had a Ducky Shine 2 for over a year and half, which is now with one of my daughters green LED/Red switches as I now have a Ducky Shine 3 since September. Red/Red, i'm a sucker for all the flashing lights.
Will be getting for another daughter a Shine 3 with White LED-(soon I promise).

I'm looking forward to Ducky Shine 4/5 with RGB.
Said it before Ducky is a marvellous bit of kit.

I've been using a Ducky Shine II for around 18 months, white LED. brown switches. Love it

Had the exact combination I wanted, Full set of keys (inc numberpad), gaps between sections, UK layout (full size enter!) and full size function keys. It's getting hard to find these things now :|
