This Keyboard is a tank I have dropped it multiple times and it just bounces no scratches and chugs along worth every penny
This is a great keyboard and well worth the price! It feels like it's very well made. I also own a Ducky Shine 3 with brown keys. Both keyboards are excellent, although the Shine 3 feels ever so slightly better quality. The Zero feels rock solid and I would purchase it again. So far I have had no issues and the brown keys strike a good balance between noise in the office and tactile feedback.
I'd like to point out that it's working with my Lion (10.7.3) Hackintosh, except for the calculator button.
My only gripe would be the keycaps with the indicator lights / lack of separate indicator lights. i can't fully customize my keyboard since the 3rd party vendor who should be customizing my keycaps can't manufacture keycaps with windows / cutouts for the indicator lights.
I ordered a Ducky 2108 Zero w/ Red switches. I would have much rather purchased a 2087 Zero but nobody seems to know when it will be released.
LIKES:
1) The Cherry style stabilizers on the Zero are hands down my favorite stabilizers I've ever tried. My badly bowed PBT spacebar is perfectly uniform on this keyboard where as on a Costar board it would be rattle city. They are also much quieter than the Leopold I used to own. The stabilized keys are also MUCH more uniform than previous keyboards with this stabilizer tech. MX Greens were too much for my pinkys on other keyboards but on the Zero they would probably be perfect.
2) Keyboard has nice texture so it won't pick up finger prints. Similiarly the keycaps have a little texture also. I don't know if the printing will last because I bought PBT's along with the board and swapped them out after 5 minutes of use. That being said there was nothing bad about the ABS out of the box and would have probably kept them on if they were side printed.
3) Hardwired cable is awesome because our Corporate IT guys won't approve any keyboards that have detachable cables. Also, some keyboards with detachable cables don't have tight enough channels to keep the cables from falling out which can lead to fatigue/failure in the hub over time.
4) NKRO toggle feature. Very smart! Programs for omnia i8000. While I think full NKRO is a BS feature (who uses that many keys anyway!?) it should drastically improve compatibility with BIOS by having it turned off by default.
DISLIKES:
All the ABS/PBT keycap sets in the store will have additional media markings for the 9008 series which will confuse owners. Maybe Ducky didn't think that people who bought the Zero would buy PBT sets but I did.
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT:
1.) Lower the guts inside the case so the keyboard is lower profile and more comfortable to type on without a wrist rest. It's really not that bad but if you are coming from a scissor switch you might be in for a shock.
2.) Sell Zero's with side printed ABS keycaps. I would gladly pay an additional $20 if they came stock like this.
VERDICT:
An excellent solid comfortable keyboard. That being said, I'll be setting it aside in the 'back up' pile once the Ducky 2087 hits MK.
Don't hate the player - hate the num pad.
Very solid keyboard that I cannot find anything wrong with. It is a budget model so the cord is not detachable but the keys work well and it is a joy to type on.
This is my first mechanical keyboard and it is completely fantastic. I am completely satisfied with it, especially for the price. The sounds the MX Reds make are amazing, and I love how easy to actuate they are, I can just 'float' over the tops of the keys. The board also has a decent weight to it, and seemingly good durability.
Hi everyone,
Recently I bought a tablet running on Intel Atom x5-Z8500 processor.
I've prepared a USB drive for installation and plugged it and a USB keyboard into a powered USB hub (apparently some tablets similar to this one have had problems with power to the USB port being cut, which is why I chose a powered hub).
I can go into the bios normally and it detects the USB drive and I can boot UEFI from it no problem.
The problems begin when I get to the menu where I can choose to boot Arch and other stuff: both USB devices turn off after pressing any key.
I always managed to get 1 keystroke in (not sure if it's because I was quick enough before the devices turn of or if it dies after one keystroke).
Anyway when I immediately pressed Enter it started booting, but complained it could not find ARCH_201601 drive, because it apparently disconnects. Also keyboard is unusable at that point.
So my question would be, what could be causing this? What could I try to resolve the problem?
Thanks to everyone in advance
