The mouse looks normal, hurray!

and ISO...
BOY, I hope they make an Ergodox..Show Image(http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/233cd70a.gif)

Hopefully the Shine 5 comes in TKL, if it does I will buy one for sure.

From the positioning of the legends in the keycaps, it looks like that it would be backlit. I hope that they would use PBT + POM doubleshot. The capslock LED seems to be positioned outside of the switch, unlike previous models of Ducky keyboards.
This acrylic body looks new to be implemented in mainstream mass produced mechanical keyboards, and it can be easily scratched unless they'll coat it with something that'll act as a protector.Ducky Shine 5 - RGBShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/PUi6loS.jpg)
Looks like it will still have the same housing as the Shine 4 and 108 keys. The MX switches will be available in Black, Red, Brown, and Blue according to the image.
Ducky would still probably stick to pre-programmed lighting effects, so I don’t expect its RGB lighting to be fully programmable like Corsair.
I really hope the ONE is not backlit. It looks sick as is, and I have been craving a Zero for a long time now.Can we expect that it might be a backlit keyboard case like we usually see on Korean customs?
And, can someone explain to me why everything is going to RGB these days?Because they can, and there's a market for it ;)

Why's the mouse "secret"I think "Secret" is the name of the mouse.

Nice transparent cases, but no yellow? :(
Goddammit they went with the light spillage onto the plate instead of keeping the light contained to the legends only. I can't stand spillage like that--it distracts from the legends themselves.

They don't have a choice... The Cherry RGB switches have clear cases with SMT LEDs on the PCB, so they have no way of preventing the light spillage short of using some sort of light shields, but there's not enough space to implement that.
This is one reason I'm staying away from the whole RGB thing. Another is I just don't need a disco on my board.
Actually, I have no real interest in most commercial boards nowadays. If I can't open the switches (or buy it in parts so I can mod the switches before building it) and it's not programmable, I don't want it.
There's supposed to be a Chinese ripoff of the Logitech Romer-G RGB switch that doesn't have light spill. I'm hoping we'll start to see keyboards using that switch soon.

RGB is useful for gaming, such as mapping colors to correspond to spell, weapon, equipment, etc., and also for when playing horror/atmospheric games when you want to turn off all the lights, but still want to see the keys when needing to access something that's not within your immediate muscle memory.

How often does a gamer look down at hit board while playing? I have never looked down in search for a key.

You can't assume other people's needs, experience, and preference is the same as you though. For example, when first starting to play a new game and learning its mechanics--especially a game with a ton of commands, weapon types, spells, potions, health, map, inventory, movement, vehicle control, view control, etc.--it takes a while to commit all of them to muscle memory. And if you're playing the game in total darkness or very dark room (which is more fun for certain types of games such as horror), having backlit keys in different assigned colors to correspond to different hotkeys is really helpful. Also, there are plenty of people in the world who don't touch-type, so it's even more helpful for them.
Fullsize? eeewwwww no thanks

Sign me up for a Ducky Shine 5 w/ Matias switches.
Anyone know the dimensions of the shine 3? I kind of want to compare it to the shine 4 to see whether or not I'd need to adjust myself for the board.
I found the dimensions for the shine4(460x154x34mm) but not the shine 3. Or a side by comparison.
Thank you so much lol.Anyone know the dimensions of the shine 3? I kind of want to compare it to the shine 4 to see whether or not I'd need to adjust myself for the board.

The exact dimension of Shine 3 Fullsize is :
442x140x41.5 mm ;)

That's in the manual? Jeez, maybe I should have looked there first....Anyone know the dimensions of the shine 3? I kind of want to compare it to the shine 4 to see whether or not I'd need to adjust myself for the board.

the shell of the mouse will actually be PBT.
sensor is the 'famous' 3310, which has pretty much become the standard in gaming mice.
it uses omron switches.
you will be able to change the RGB lighting without drivers.
you will be able to change the polling rate without drivers (125, 250, 500, 1000).
you will be able to change the dpi without drivers (400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2400, 3200, 5000).
you will be able to adjust the LOD without drivers as well.
sounds pretty slick to me.. :-)
the only thing i am a little skeptical about is the sensor placement. (it looks like it's placed just a tad too low.)
this album has a few photos of the mouse (including one of the bottom):

there's also a photo that shows specs and what buttons to press to configure everything.
(the photos in the album were taken at computex, they also show some other new ducky hardware.)
there's also a video/trailer of the mouse:
