Positives:
- Generate MX Brown Cherry Switches the precise and great typing feel
- Clear and beautiful to look at characters on the keys
- Very high-quality workmanship
- 3 extra buttons for volume control and 1 extra key for the Windows Calculator
- Very stable
- Illuminated and finely adjustable in 6 steps
- On the second weakest level the keyboard lighting is very pleasant and unobtrusive
slightly negative:
- No lighting is switched on, the keyboard is not usable, since no key label can be read. However, the manufacturer does not indicate it.
- With backlight on only the upper keys häfte is illuminated, the lower symbols are generally unreadable (design-related vulnerability of Cherry MX switches)
- No Media Player control buttons, as with other equivalent keyboards
- The keyboard is very high, but there is no palm rest here, there is no accessory retailers
- The housing bottom edges are slightly sharp. Although there is no risk of injury, but a gentle rounding would have been advisable.
very negative:
- Due to a design error, the (but not the English version) concerns the Ducky Legend only the German, the icons in the lower, non-readable keys are mounted in half the number buttons. When englichen version, however, the numbers in the top left and the special characters are attached to the top right corner of the key. This has the consequence that in the German version of the numeric symbols are not readable.
Also applies to all other keys with double meaning in the German keyboard layout, as there would be
Conclusion:
It is not clear why present at such expensive keyboard, so many details defects.
The most important shortcoming: The German market is likely to be after the Anglo-American's second most important. Yet he is clearly reluctant to support or even boycotted. (The Ducky Legend Homepage silent even completely to the German version of the keyboard layout from.)
From a purchase I advise therefore.
