Needed a new keyboard to replace an old wireless keyboard, preferably wired, back-lit (for lights out use) & without the extra keys that I never use. Research showed Ducky was well regarded. Had no experience with mechanical keys & was a bit dubious about the noisier Cherry MX Blue switches but I love them! LEDs supposed to be white but mine are blue! (well…purplish blue compared to the blue LEDs on all the other equipment around the room). Love it so much have now ordered the Ducky Secret Mouse to go with it!
