Anyone got experience with Ducky keyboards? (sopuli.xyz)

For some reason or another, a whole third of all mechanical keyboards in the biggest local computer retailer's online store, are Ducky. Probably because they have ISO and ANSI layouts, a lot of colors, different sizes, and different switches. And they're ordered from abroad when bought, not stocked locally. So loads of choice and no cost showing them as available.

So since my only real options here if I want a full keyboard or TKL with blue switches are a couple of different Ducky models (one 3, Shine 7) in various colors, I'm wondering if anyone has personal experience with Ducky? I've read both praise and hate online, so can't really make heads or tails of the quality.

I'm so torn between the Shine 7 and One 3 right now. On the one hand, the Shine sounds like higher quality (metal vs plastic, etc). One the other hand, the One 3 has hot swappable switches if I get tired of the MX-Blues and want to try something else (someone mentioned Gateron Baby Kangaroos which apparently are great)

Guess I'll have to actually try them before I settle for either one.
