Ducky One TKL layout

[benoitd]

Hello everybody,

I bought my first mechanical keyboard 2 days ago. It's a Ducky One TKL (non-backlit). I love it but the layout is French and I live in Belgium where the layout is not the same. I could get used to the new layout but I work in IT where I have to take remote control over other computers and the keyboard layout doesn't map between computers. So I'm constantly switching between the two layouts (and losing my mind).

I can't find any seller to buy a Ducky One TKL Belgium Layout. So I plan to buy a Cooler Master Pro S (white LED) with Belgium layout (on cmstore.eu). When I read your reviews the keycaps on the Ducky One are better than Cooler Master.

Can you tell me if I'll be pleased to use the Cool Master coming from the Ducky One because from what I can tell looking at pictures the Cooler Master looks more cheap (and the keycaps too) ?

Thanks

I have a Ducky One and I had a Cooler Master Pro L some time ago. Quality wise I don't see much of a difference. My Cooler Master had red switches though (it was my first mechanical keyboard and it was a very bad choice for me) and my Ducky has green switches - so its hard to compare.

Also mind: I never used the lightning features or the programming features of both boards.

Overall I like the Ducky more. It's cleaner and feels more robust. But if not used side by side probably nothing I would notice.

Suggestion: Keep the ducky and get some nice belgian keycaps for it? The difference between a belgian and a french keyboard should only be the keycaps I guess?
