what keyboard to buy?

[mikethebboy]

Hey guys, I've already ordered a Ducky Dk9008(b) with Cherry MX blue switches but i want a tenkeyless aswell, any suggestions?

[drsauced]

I think this is a perfect question for the Keyboard Oracle. I beseech thee to seek guidance from The Holy Master.

As always, it depends on what switch you want, what kind of build quality you expect, if you want it plate- or pcb-mounted... and how much you feel like coughing.
Which then depends on where you live.

On the good-quality ones that I know about, there's Archiss/Leopold and Filco.

Leopold/Filco +1

If you don't mind the dumb down build quality of ducky 1087, it could be a fine choice as well.
got money for realforce? <wink>

If you don't mind the dumb down build quality of ducky 1087, it could be a fine choice as well.

It would probably be wiser for him to wait until he has received his 9008 prior to ordering yet another one... just in case.

+2 for the Leopold/Filco. If you like your ducky when it arrives then get a ducky tenkeyless if you enjoy it. But the Leopolds from ek are up for preorder at $99 which is a good price.

[vuga419]

wouldn't it depend on what you're going to use the keyboard for primarily? +3 for filco either way

[strike015]

i recommend getting a filco as well and they come in red blue brown and black switches too

[Daniel Beaver]

Filco!

(but others are fine too...)

[Olehk]

Id say Filco

[rpgman1]

Either Filco or Leopold if you want Tenkeyless boards.

[EZjiji]

Leopold
FIlco
Ducky

are your 3 main chocices. Filco is around $160. You can buy off amazon (looks like out of stock at the moment). Leopold is $100, but its currently only on pre-order. Ducky I think there are some Asian website that sells for pretty cheap international shipping. (I can't be too sure though, might've just been a promo.)

I like it when people ask for suggestions but don't give very many details of what they're looking for :p.

In this case I will assume you are looking for a combimouse.

[CephalicCarnage]

Wow... I'm not ready for a combimouse.

Datahand dismissed that idea over 2 decades ago and went for another solution.

Filco is good.

[False_Dmitry_II]

Why is it that every 'suggest a board' thread I see, it is only ever talking about what thing to buy out of new stuff?

I guess I'm too oldschool for that. And cheap.

[ripster]

Filco X 4


Leopolds work.
Ducky's don't.

[lucidlts]

you can get ducky keyboards here:

good price

[javifast]

If you have a blue cherry...now I'll buy a brown cherry keyboard...so you'll have a noisy and a "silent" keyboard.

[Sugoi]

I would recommend a Filco as well. Alternatively you could go for the Leopold as suggested before in case you don't want to spend that much money.

[Seriously]

Now that EliteKeyboard has stopped stocking them, where can someone go to buy a Filco?

[IanM]

The Keyboard Company, they're the UK seller, but they also have some Filco for sale in the US via Amazon Marketplace

[keyboardlover]

Ask the keyboard oracle if you are unsure what keyboard to buy.
