Title: DS3 vs Zero
Post by: Xest on Sat, 01 March 2014, 04:19:17

Hello again, im wondering if there is any real difference between the Ducky Shine 3 and Zero ($50 Cheaper) besides being made in different countries and Zero having non-detactable cable.

Oh the Zero has lighting now doesn't it! No cool snake on the space bar and I assume not all of the lighting features are available either...

I'm sure there are build and quality differences and the internals could have different quality components. I have never had a zero so I can't make a direct comparison. And I have not opened up my shine 3 yet. But the shine 3 is a very nice board.

I'm the opposite, I have a Zero and not a Shine XD

zero doesn't have back lighting. Zero shine does tho.  :)
but coming for a shine 2 user, I have no complains after using for more than a year   ;)
