This a great keyboard. My first Ducky, but not my first MX blue keyboard. The typing experience is fantastic, a bit stiffer than the MX Blues found on Razer keyboards, but I like it that way. The physical construction of the body plastic is excellent. I've had better, but for this generation of keyboards it is about as good as it gets.I appreciate being able to reduce the LED backlight intensity, as I'm not a huge fan of ultra bright LED backlit keys - I'm typing on the keyboard, I don't need to land an airplane in a blizzard.Finally, this keyboard is really a no-frills keyboard, so don't expect this thing to replace a fancy gaming keyboard. The only thing I'm still not sure about is why they decided to hardcode the shortcut key to open the OS' calculator program. Personally that would have been better as a plain Play/Pause key for media, but that's just me.As keyboards go, this is a great one. Very simple and nothing too fancy about it. You should look to the Filco and Das keyboards for higher quality construction, but the typing experience of the Ducky is spot on for touch typists.

Great keyboard. No issues after moderate use for over a month. I got this keyboard over the other mechanical ones because of its minimalist design and it takes up a smaller area than other flashy/gimmicky keyboards.I like the adjustable backlight, you will not have an issue with brightness.Of note, the CAPS lock, num lock, and scroll lock backlights only turn on when active, so if they're inactive (e.g. CAPS lock off) then they will not light up.

This is my first mechanical keyboard, and I'm really happy with it.The keystroke feels nice, and the keyboard itself is really sturdy and heavy (it won't move easily during your gaming session). Noise wise, I was expecting to be much higher and unpleasant, wich is not the case. The led are pretty nice too, since you can ajust the brightness from off to fully lit and look cool when its dark.My only cons about this keyboard is a minor one: since I have small hands, I like my enter key to be full size and the F keys seems a bit farther than usuall, but I'll get use to it eventually.For this price range (I paid 89.99$ with free ship) you just can't go wrong. Even at full price, its still a really good buy.
