What are your uses going to be?

If you type much at all then you probably won't like the MX Red keys.

MX Red will feel much better than MX Blue for gaming.

I want to warn you about the MX Red, since you're not used to them. I use a CM QuickFire Pro and when I first started using it (I was also new to mechanical keyboards) I soon found out that you can't rest any "weight" from your hand or fingers so to speak on the keys. They're just to sensitive and have such little resistance that you may hit a button without even realising it. After a little while you will get used to "hovering" your hand above the keys though.

well hmmm the store here got the MX Blue and MX Red.. so maybe Blue is it?

There's nothing wrong with the red, it just takes some getting used to is all.

any feedbacks on the DUCKY DK9008 G2 Pro?
i think this item is also available in my place

That's a good price, I say go for it.

The MX Red are easy to press is all that Aldakoopa is saying.

Edit: I'd take a Ducky over CM any day of the week.

darkblitz05, if I can make a suggestion, go to a computer/electronics store before you buy anything and see if you can get your hands on some of the mechanical keyboards. The different "color/style" keys are drastically different. You will have an easier time finding one that suits you. I can say now that I purchased a mechanical keyboard a month or so ago, "cherry browns" I will never go back to a membrane type. Other then it being a bit louder to type on, which can be a little annoying at night when the family is sleeping, the precision and tactical feel of the keys is so much better then a membrane.

Ducky or Max are both solid choices and both have been around for a bit, they know what they are doing.

 

[darkblitz05]

Ducky. For sure.
