I'm interested too. Since all shine 2 are out of stock... maybe waiting for a brand new shine III worth it. Any way to sign up for a newsletter, or to get noticed when a certain product is restocked?
I noticed from a post in the keyboard section that pccasgear.com is getting the zero shine 6/21/13. I'm hoping that means mechanicalkeyboards.com will get them around the same time. I check the incoming list daily!

I still see some Ducky Shine 2 units in stock: http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=332&r=579 (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=332&r=579)
Is there green switches shine 3?
Man I would be so in for white switches. Real white switches.Is there green switches shine 3?
Or white?
Still no word on Shine 3 switch types. Although we will have some cool limited varieties (including Dark Grey MX) of the Dye-Subs coming in. :)
It sounds like we'll have Year of the Snake before Shine III's.
Checking website income twice per day. Don't wanna miss my shine III :)
Shine 3 release scheduled for end of July. Switch types will be Brown, Blue, Black, and Red.
This includes Full Size only, but I have been told they have plans to release TKL Shine 3 (no ETA yet).
Excuse me for the stupid question but what "ETA" means? It's a factory release, isn't it?
Any idea on the snake pricing?

How much were the keyboards from the years before? Year of the Dragon?
Is the snake confirmed to have 6 different colours of led across the board?

I haven't heard as much.
how long are they going to be sold for? a month or two?

If you're talking about the YOTS, I don't think its a question of how long they'll be sold for... more like how long until they get sold out. It seems like with these limited edition boards, they make a certain number of them and distributors get a certain number to sell til they run out.
The special feature of the YOTS is an aluminium keyboard case. :)
Appreciate the info - does that ETA also cover the YotS board?
Maybe it's just my terrible opinion, but I think that logo over the arrow cluster is very odd to the uninitiated and would be best removed.
it's amazing how shine 3 has every feature the yots has, correct me if i am wrong.
it's also amazing that at least as someone who likes to get things first as a ritual/customary/habit and nothing else(i don't write reviews because I hate youtube for it's bloated and commercialized review content uploader community) Ducky is offering limited time of shine 3 with snake space bar(correc tme if i am wrong, again)

To the best of my knowledge, Ducky planned on using the snake for all Shine 3s. We went ahead and put an order in for our own compatible spacebars that we will include with all the Shine 3s we sell once the spacebars come in.

will them come in in time for the first batch of shine 3? if not will you still ship them out later for all of the earliest bird(buyer)?:)

Will your space bars also ship with the YOTS boards ?
Will you be stocking any Shine III Chinese versions?
We keep trying to do this and for every one we sell 10 more sit on the shelf for 6+ months. I'll start an interest check.

If that's the case then you're better off just stocking keycap sets. Bad business to get them if they require minimums and you only sell 10% right away.
We haven't actually sold any of the Green MX / Green LED Shine 3s. We didn't know they existed until yesterday. We were only able to get (5). We will more than likely do something special for these units as I doubt there's only 5 people who will want them lol

Make that 2. We only have 2 coming in. We'll likely have a Facebook lottery to determine eligible buyers.
Yes. They mentioned something about sending them separately if they had to.
We will NOT be getting the custom space bars in for Shine 3 as Ducky decided in the final hour to add their own custom space bar with the Shine 3. We were excited about this (just like we were excited about have the 'only' White LED Shine 2s last year), but it no longer makes sense for us to invest in these Spacebars if Ducky has basically taken the idea for themselves.
The stem layout should be the same. It's just a different space bar style (not a snake) that allows less light through with a more simplistic design.they're different stem. the stock one is much more reinforced than the other one, forcing me to directly never use the alt one ever...and that I think i will eventually not want the 3color spacebar and use something pbt /color painted insted
Thanks for the tip. I downloaded the firmware and installed it, but no luck.
"Or maybe not" was the right answer.
This'll be getting shipped back probably tomorrow or by next week hopefully. I'm glad that MK has another shipment coming in, so hopefully I can just swap it for another one. Overall, I like the way the keyboard looks, I just need a good working one.
I am currently hesitating between a Filco Majestouch 2 TKL and your beautiful Ducky Shine 3 TKL available soon, but I noticed that as I live in France, the price of shipping is up to $26.55 and that's a lot ! :/
So, the problem is not to pay that amount but after. If I have a problem like Tempest790 (a few posts above) due to shipping or an internal problem happening during the factory fabrication with a switch/spacebar/other, shall I re-pay the 26$ for shipping the Keyboard back to have another one working?
I trust the Ducky quality by 100% but the first release of the keyboards may maybe have some troubles, don't they?
It's my main apprehension.
Only 5%? Thank you for reassuring me (for the first Ducky TKL's release) ! :D
I know that the TKL version is already the same as the full-size but I wasn't sure if the PCB was made by the same process between the both.
And unfortunately, I highly doubt that I could find any Ducky reseller even in a specialised store.
I do not find any in Bordeaux, more than that, the guys looked at me with a huge eyes describing their ignorance when I asked if they have any mechanical keyboard. And some Cyborg and Razer Blackwidow apart, there are no ANSI layout more than that... Maybe in Paris. But if I do not find in Bordeaux, I think that it will be the same in Paris... :(
The choice is so low for us franchies.
