Rare find!

Just received this keyboard after quick shipping from Desk Hero. I have no idea how they managed to find some of these boards still available, but this collector's edition doesn't seem to exist on the second hand market! So glad I was able to grab one.

Delivery and tracking were great, product came in perfect condition and looks amazing. Obviously the cherry MX switches aren't the best, but almost everything else on this board is an upgrade to the standard ducky One2SF. Full aluminum body, custom PBT keycaps, Engraved brass backplate, custom novelty keycaps, and the kit included a Ducky keycap puller, literature on the Collector's Edition, an engraved plate with serial number and a small keychain with a Ducky cap and MXblue clicky switch (which is already driving my wife crazy!)

Would recommend this board for anyone looking for a 65% mechanical keyboard who doesn't want to go fully custom (usually for more than twice the price of this) but wants something a little more unique and better built than a standard Ducky or AP2.

For me, this board probably won't be a daily driver, but will always have a special place in my collection, and will always be on display.
