I wouldnt say better. They are both wonderful keyboards. Just up to the buyer to choose between them.
For me? Id take a Ducky any day of the week. Currently waiting for my money to be splashed at the Year of the Snake edition!
I hate those wrests... am I the only one? Put it on my MK-85 and it lasted all of 5 minutes.

The more I see it, the more I hate it.
I'm interested in the one QWERKeys is working on. Aluminium case and 60% size.

Possibly a bit late as you're leaning towards a Ducky, but have you considered a Gigabyte Osmium? It's the only mech keyboard I've ever used, so no idea how it measures up against the others, but I love it, and use the USB2 port, and headphone and USB3 pass throughs constantly. Might be worth a look?

IMO, i wouldnt even think about going for a Osmium over a K95 or Ducky.
My advice ?
Try a mechKB/s before moving from membrane.
It's not for everyone and can work as a disadvantage.
But, it;s a trend and one I fell for too.
I love my little CM Storm quickfire tk, it looks great. it doesn't offer me any advantage apart from aesthetics to my previous KB.
Anyhoo, had a blue switch kb and this tk is a red.
I preferred the blues.

Filco Majestouch with red switches. Bombproof and if you ever get burgled you could brandish it as a weapon (thing weighs a ton).

I've got a backlit Ducky TKL with MX reds and WASD "o" rings, great keyboard for fps.
Got an Osmium myself and have tried a wide range of mech keyboards and there's nothing wrong with it. In fact I preferred it to the rest and that's why I kept this one in the end.

I never said anything was wrong with it. Id just choose the best out of all the options.
With peripherals like keyboards, best is subjective, you'd really need to try everyone to pick a best and even then that would only be your best not everyone else.

O-rings only on specific keys mind; Enter, Spacebar and Backspace
