Can anyone give their opinion of these boards in comparison to each other? Can the Filco really be worth double the price of the ducky, when the ducky also comes with nice accessories. What about the Leopold with it's middle ground price.

The problem is possibly that people don't have a Ducky, a Leopold and a Filco to compare. $77 seems like a good price. If you can afford it, the Filco has great built quality and key stabilizers, but it's probably not twice as good as a ducky in you want to think in those terms.

I would probably go for the Leopold or the Filco if you're going tenkeyless. The Ducky 1087 has some quality issues. If you're going full-layout, the Ducky 9008 'boards are money.

There's also the PLU ML-87 at similar price as the Ducky 1087, I hear it's better quality too.

Out of these three, the Leopold seems like the best deal. I know, some people complain about the Cherry stabilizers on it, but I consider that a positive thing. It's a tad prettier than the other two. It has LEDs in the lock keys. It's got 17KRO over USB and a detachable cable.

Sure, the PCB is not as pretty as on the Filco, but if there was a European dealer for Leopolds, I would definitely hit that.

And, apparently, Leopold doesn't suffer much from the "ping issue", also known as Neurotic Bitch Syndrome (NBS).
