I absolutely love this keyboard, though i can't compare it to other mechanical keyboards because this is the only one i have used. If you want to know about it in a lot more detail head over to geekhack and read this review. From what i have read, this review looks at the first version of the choc mini to go on sale, since then there has been a few tweaks. My keyboard for instance no longer has different coloured scroll/num/switch lock keys, they are the same colour as other keys. And from a more recent review i read, i forget where, but these keyboards are now available with a white font instead of the chocolate brown. Which makes sense if u need to look at the keyvoard when you type as in lower light the chocolate colour is hard to read. I really enjoy playing with this keyboard, and find it a joy when it comes to typing too. | ||

And i have EU/german layout, for anyone searching for it and not finding it.... Well, its a completly new feeling to me, never typed on a mechanical before. I wanted to have black switches, cause i thought they would not be as "hard" to press as ma previous keys (rubberdomes). But these black ones are actually pretty stiff and not THAT easy to press as i expected. But i think, i'll get used to hit (LOL, as i was writing the word "i'll", i just found out that the ' is not where it was on my rubberdome keybard :D another new thing  )....yeah well, i'll get used to it, cause its another feeling, kinda smoother and more "advanced" And i payed 70 euros and all the pros have mechs, so i HAVe to get used to it .... joke | ||

But the non-linear switch types (blue/brown) require less force to actuate in general. | ||

Yes But I think it will actually "cost" more strength and controlled finger movement to find out the releasing point of this keys After that the typing will get easier But as i said, i am not unhappy with buying this keyboard, its just a new situation to get used to | ||

The shift and capslock/enter keys feel a little different than teh other keys, but that's the only quirk I've noticed with the board. What's nice is you can buy the PBT caps separate and still only pay $30. Hi there! I have a question about the different models of Ducky boards. I if you go to Ducky's site there are quite a few keyboards. There seems to be three categories though: $115, $110, and $80. From what I can tell the $110 boards have PBT key caps, and then I just don't see the difference between the $110 boards and the $80 boards.. They both seem to be the overclock.net edition, and they don't seem to have any different features listed when I look at their details. Why the price difference? | ||

Reds are more expensive; tenkeyless; ABS caps are cheaper than PBT; earlier models. | ||

This was the switch type I wanted back when I bought my Filco, but they were neigh impossible to find at the time. Seriously, playing Starcraft on this thing is so much fun! I don't even hear myself pressing the keys since I've gotten used to where the actuation point would be using my Filco. I can definitely understand why reds are considered the best switch type for gaming, and I would say for RTS's especially. If anyone is looking to get a new board, I would highly recommend looking into EliteKeyboards.com. They currently have basically any combo of fullsized or tenkeyless boards with any cherry MX switch type (even reds and clears!!). Also they're currently stocking all the boards in white as well as the usual black! I picked up a white tenkeyless Leo with red switches too. Love it. | ||

It's a fun little keyboard with a very good full-featured compact layout. My only gripe was that Home and End are on the function layer. | ||

6GV2. A million times better, and that's without even being used to it yet. Although the position of the " \ " key is kind of annoying. I don't think I'll ever use a rubber dome again. I hadn't even realized how much I missed a real keyboard for gaming. And it has the advantage of being a viable home defense weapon too. This thing is solid. | ||
