Anyone know the differences between Ducky 9008 G2 and 9008 G2 Pro besides the fact that Pro has LED lights on WASD and G2 doesn't?

I'm thinking of getting a mechanical keyboard with black or brown switches. I'd love to keep it sub-100, but I think I could spring to 120 if it meant significant improvements. So far, the G6v2, BlackWidow Stealth, and Celeritas seem like the best options. Duckie seems really hard to get ahold of, and DAS is more than I'd like to pay. Are there any retailers I should be aware of, or major boards that I'm missing?

If you're in the USA, Rosewill and Leopolds are also really good for the money. Out of those three though, go for the Celeritas. Are you looking for a purely gaming keyboard or do you type more than you game or a mixture?
Do you need a pole? I ask because your logical leaps are becoming logical vaults and your mental gymnastics are Olympic standard.

Just got my das keyboard, and I'm typing on it right now, I love it, although I am making more mistakes than usual. I'll still have to get used to it I guess. I think I'm going to be posting a lot more on the forums now that I have this keyboard, typing is just fun,

Mm... actually, Leopold looks pretty good, after finding a decent store. What do you think about this vs a celeritas?

I game more than I type, but I still have to do papers for school ~ twice a week. I think that browns look like a nice compromise.

Yes, Leopolds are good, better than the Blackwidow for sure. I know the Celeritas has had some known issues with the letters fading due to the material they use for the keycaps/lettering. Brown switches are what most people get as a 'middle ground' switch and I personally use a keyboard with browns and it's a great typing experience. Here's a link to the Rosewill in case you want to have a look but I'd definitely go for the Leopold and keep the extra cash unless it ends up being out of stock or something.

Rosewill keyboard @ Newegg

Filco keyboard are outstanding as well (Highly considered to be one of, if not the best quality mechanical keyboard you can buy) but they're $150, as seen here on Amazon

I originally bought a leopold but cancelled and got a noppoo, I'm pretty happy with it so far, and it wasn't too expensive.

Like butter. It's a very different actuation. You kind of have to think a different way coming from cherry.

hey sc2'ers. I mainly play Quake live but you guys are more knowledgeable when it comes to mechanicals. Regarding the STEELSERIES 6gv2, since the red switches are so hard to get in America, do you think the black switches are that much more stiff and would the black switches tire my fingers and wrist more?? is the difference big between 60g and 45g when typing and gaming?

thx. i looked on Amazon, Newegg, and elitekeyboards but the red isn't there. I searched Ebay and submitted some questions regarding some. A few pages back someone posted a link to some Asian website that has it but I'd rather not go that way since I'll have to wait a long time olol
