Help Ducky Design the Next Special Edition

Feb 24, 2015

I think that the Clear Brown Grey is the best choice so far. I really want to get a Cherry MX Clear keyboard, coming from Browns, and my particular taste is in the Duckys. They have unparalleled build quality even for their low end lines and they get so creative with lighting and switches like the 78 and the 69 editions. The reason why, is that Ducky needs to have more MX Clear keyboards, or at least a hybrid one like the Clear Brown Grey for typists who occasionally like to game. Gamers would agree that tactile non-clicky keyboards are just as good as the clicky ones. The 69 edition already fulfilled the need for MX Greens, why not an MX Clear dominant board? I'd rename the Clear Brown Grey, the "Tactile Ninja" since all of the keys on it are non-clicky and have tactile feedback.
Nai_Calus, I also think your's might be a lot better than the Clear Brown Grey, and a lot more well thought out. Therefore, your layout gets a vote from me :). But I think you forgot to add the media keys?

AElric22I like your suggestion of a better name. Playing on yours I went with "The Silent Feeler"

AlexPkNICE!! That's perfect, considering Filco has their Ninja line haha. Seeing this, I now remember that I drew up a sketch plan for a custom hybrid keyboard with mostly MX Clears. Think I'll add it to the poll as well.

AElric22I totally did. XD I'd probably put more greens up there, right now there's only two and you don't type on those keys anyway so a higher actuation force won't make much difference.

Nai_CalusI would probably get rid of all the linear switches and replace them with tactile switches of equal weighting at the very least. I haven't been using mechanical keyboards that long, but honestly, nothing beats that tactile feedback. Anything to emulate the feeling of a Model M ^_^. Without the insanely beefy switch depressions that is haha.
