Mine arrived a few days ago. Ducky has been and probably always will be the best keyboard manufacturer, but a couple of the choices the community made for this custom one just puzzle me. I have probably a dozen keyboards with one weight on the letters and another spring weight on the mods and other keys, just like this one...but you always put the LOWER weight springs in the center because that's where you want to avoid fatigue, and having stronger springs on the other keys makes them less likely to be pressed by mistake. The weighting is just ass-backwards on this design. And the other thing is, why in the world would someone use PBT's that are not backlit on a backlit keyboard? So far Vortex is the only brand that makes aftermarket backlit PBTs (Deck also has a backlit PBT on their Hassium but they aren't available as keycaps alone.) I just don't understand the logic of ruining the backlighting by dampening it with non-backlit keycaps. It's not as if Ducky's ABS caps are inferior - in fact, other than the German company that made the Galaxy-Class PBT set (sorry my mind draws a blank on their name) no one makes higher quality ABS keycaps than Ducky. Not once have I ever noticed any shine or wear on ANY Ducky ABS keycap I've ever had, so can someone maybe nicely explain to me this weird desire to put non-backlit keycaps on a backlit keyboard?

JalucianWhy do u complain about things that were clear for everyone before the drop ended ? Why did u buy this keyboard, if you don't like the things that make it special ?
Sorry, but I don't get it.
Btw: Mine arrived today and so far i like it. The only thing that bothers me is the fact, that i can see the stamps through the some of the keycaps.

JalucianRegarding the spring weight, some think that the center keys are normally hit with fingers with more strength (index and middle finger), and the outer keys depressed by pinkie, ring finger should be easier to press as those fingers have less strength.
About the caps, well I switched them out for the granite, ;P dont really care about the LEDs.
