Get the ducky. The build quality on it is absolutely amazing

I love my Zowie Celeritas,

Four big non-slip strips under the board so it don't move around

been the one that's had everything I'm looking for so far, and some extra

I love my CM Storm Trigger (browns). Great for typing and gaming.

You should really go to a retail store that has some mechanical boards on display and try them because the switch types are really personal preference and it's hard to really know what's best for you until you try them all.

Browns are a good medium, however personally I prefer reds for typing and not gaming.

i recently bought the noppoo choc mini red switches as my first mechanical keyboard a couple months ago. i liked it because of how small it was because i have my keyboard and mousepad on a pull out tray and a normal keyboard covered like half of my mousepad. my only complaint with it is the space bar seems flimsy. it was $100 on amazon but it's currently out of stock but they should have them back in stock soon.

Thanks man, but I think I understand enough about the switches to make a decision on a keyboard. Really just looking for one that has everything I want, now
