Ducky Yellow Keyboard - It's beautiful

[rowdy]

I wonder who will be the first Geekhacker to buy and post a pic here.....

I would love to be in that position.  Unfortunately IF the keyboard is available in Australia and IF I can afford it, it will probably be months after everyone else has theirs

My daughter flipped out when she saw that video. She instantly changed from being in love with my Ducky Zero Shine to disappointed I didn't get a Shine 3

It's good to see you plan on getting one though Unlike me... I don't think I will, as much I like it.

) It looks like you're going to be an extra $150 or so out of pocket in the near future???

I'd like to - yes I really do like yellow

The only thing that puts me off is the lack of, say, black legends.  A lot of my typing tends to be a few characters here, a few characters there, and I tend to glance at the keyboard to hit the right few characters.  It is rare that I actually type for an extended period.

This is based on someone's comment that the keycaps are engraved, but watching the video again are they the usual Ducky backlight-friendly transparent legend keycaps?

Also I wonder whether those yellow keycaps themselves will be available separately?

Rowdy... you have no excuse anymore... other than money... bc your problem has been solved...bc this just came up:




I MUST SEE THESE ON THAT DUCKY.

[Photoelectric]

Different shade of yellow, I think.  Ducky yellow looks more gold, with some orange undertones.  Why mess with all that yellow-ness!

I agree with you, but Rowdy might prefer some legends

My BumbleBee set is in the post as we speak.

But these are not backlight-friendly.  And the modifiers are black (well, dark gray).

It looks like a banana. I wanna eat it, not type with it.

[Defying]

I think this is the keyboards that OMG has. Ducky probably gave them samples. Looks good 

[Linkbane]

It looks beautiful. I'd love to buy this if it's available.

[Aliwia]

Wrong. They had a black case, not yellow.

[9-bit]

I love it I just can't get behind any keyboard that isn't tenkeyless, I don't know why...

DO EET. I'm going to be very interested in seeing how many people on GH actually get this.

First thing that came across my mind too )

It should definitely come available. You should definitely get it! I know I probably won't get it so I just want to see other members get it and post beautiful pictures and videos )

Are you sure you actually watch LoL? Team OMG had yellow cased Ducky keyboards.

Oh wow this looks georgous as well. The black keycaps fit really nice to the yellow case.
Damn I'll be happy getting a ducky myself. Still waiting for availibilty.

If someone gets the yellow ducky, post pics pics pics pics and videos.  :p

Cool lighting effect, thanks for your share

BB would only detract from the glorious yellowness!

You're the one that needs chilling.

Everyone chill down and watch the pretty yellow video again.

Everyone listen to Rowdy. He's pretty much the church of Halverson pope, Australian chapter.

It's weird....when I see cool yellow things, I think of him now.

Yeah give him a break, I'd be a little rumbled if I got rekt that hard as well.

I am deeply honoured!

I shall endeavour to live up to the responsibility of this position, and to construct a small shrine to the Church of Halverson.

I don't know if anyone's aware of this, but the yellow keyboard would be available with either White or Clear switch, I made a reservation with the local distributer for one as well.....he knows that either would be available, just not sure whether it'd be White or Clear (do remember that here in Asia, the term 'White' is often used instead of Clear).

Thank you letting us know! I'm pretty sure it's Clears because Ducky has referred to their Cherry MX Clears as Whites before. I also don't believe they've released any Cherry MX White keyboards, while they've released a few Clears before already. Thanks again for the update!

Yep, come to think of it, the DK9008G2 Pro had 'Whites' which was actually Clears. I don't mind Clears actually, the distributer did warn me that it'd be in very limited quantity though, hence my going to him today to personally reserve one.....he' was allotted only six of these boards.

I really like that slow reactive effect, just wish that shine 2 reactive would be slower so I could actually use it.

[rowdy]

I'll be surprised if these end up available in Australia.

There is even no sign of Shine 3 TKL yet.

Australia is just kinda isolated from the rest of the world

Tell me about it!

But there are a couple of things we have that no-where else seems to have, like white Ducky Shine keycaps, certain older Leopolds, and retail Vortex DS keycap sets.

[genkidama]

And here I thought Australia is getting more of korean/taiwanese keyboards as it's closer than Europe is for example. And I think a lot of the firms are located somewhere in asia, aren't they?
I'm still waiting for availibilty of the Shine 3 here and not the TKL but the fullsized version.

[brialona]

im down for this

[babyface]

PCCG confirmed tkl shine 3 eta is mid november. And can I get a link to vortex ds sets?

Not listed yet though, they usually list things about 2 months in advance.  I'm wondering if they'll get any of the yellow Duckies in.

Ok let's get Rowdy one of these boards. I'll pitch $25. With a few people, the yellow king will have the board of pure yellow!

Wow!  That would be fantastic!

But I won't hold you to it - we don't know retail price of them, and there is the silly shipping to Australia on top of it.  I'm just hoping PCCG will have a few so I can get one locally.

Looking at heavy-arm.com, a Malaysian supplier, they are selling them for about $180 USD (530 RM) with a projected arrival date of December 31st. Apparently two months ago, twenty were released in Malaysia in a limited edition release.
Now if only they'd make a white version..

[lilky]

Personally I'm not a big fan of the look. Too much of 1 color. Different keycaps on the yellow body might look nice, however.

But it would be pointless having different colors on yellow, it's a theme! In that case (NPI), might as well just get a black or white case.

I'm assuming heavyarm.com is not their web site, as that links to a parked domain.

Thanks for that.

They only show the full size version though.

Thanks, forgot to put that. I'll edit it in.
