Was wondering if you guys had any plans to bring in the Shine III and, if so, any idea as to release time?

Photoelectric · « **Reply #1 on:** Tue, 28 May 2013, 12:40:45 »

Is that still in the works or getting replaced with Zero Shine?

ShakeR · « **Reply #2 on:** Fri, 31 May 2013, 10:27:10 »

I'm finding out if I can answer this question. Give me a day.

AJCarrington · « **Reply #3 on:** Sun, 02 June 2013, 09:46:47 »

Thanks - much appreciated.

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?

jabar · « **Reply #5 on:** Tue, 04 June 2013, 23:15:37 »

Considering the Shine 3 was just announced at a huge event... doubt that they'd trust distributors with such information beforehand!

shifted · « **Reply #6 on:** Wed, 05 June 2013, 12:13:11 »

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!

Maybe even sooner - it tends to take a bit longer for new stuff to arrive down here.

I want MX BLUE TKL

I would also be interested in when Shine III's will be available.

ShakeR · « **Reply #11 on:** Mon, 10 June 2013, 13:10:31 »

My best guess is next month, but still no telling. It sounds like we'll have Year of the Snake before Shine III's.

I've known about Shine III's for almost 2 months now, and it's very hard to bite my tongue for so long... I wish they didn't tell us ahead of time lol

As always, we will do our best to have every available version of every available model at our store ASAP. That's how we roll with Ducky

AJCarrington · « **Reply #12 on:** Mon, 10 June 2013, 14:21:13 »

Interesting - thanks for the update.

Man I would be so in for white switches. Real white switches.

ShakeR · « **Reply #16 on:** Tue, 11 June 2013, 15:14:49 »

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.

Limited... I better be fast before green switches run out!

ShakeR · « **Reply #18 on:** Tue, 11 June 2013, 16:57:52 »

We should be OK on greens for at least a few days once they arrive. Grays are pretty low though.

You don't need to be so diligent yet--it will be some time until they become available. Incoming keyboard list is also posted in advance.

yuki x3 · « **Reply #22 on:** Mon, 17 June 2013, 14:44:02 »

I do not find the information anywhere :/ but do you think that the Shine III will have a tenkeyless version (as we see one in the video? but it's maybe not a III...)?

ShakeR · « **Reply #23 on:** Mon, 17 June 2013, 16:44:42 »

Still no word on Shine 3 ETA --- the very first ETA I heard was June / July, but I highly doubt it will be this month.

I would be very surprised if Ducky didn't have a TKL Shine 3. They should have both variations as they did with Shine 2.

yuki x3 · « **Reply #24 on:** Tue, 18 June 2013, 03:52:41 »

Thank for the confirmation.

And W&S... :3

ShakeR · « **Reply #25 on:** Wed, 19 June 2013, 11:37:19 »

Shine 3 release scheduled for end of July. Switch types will be Brown, Blue, Black, and Red.

yuki x3 · « **Reply #26 on:** Wed, 19 June 2013, 17:17:41 »

Thanks to the confirmation. ^^
Hope than all the features will be great (aluminium, space bar etc... =D). ^^

Is this going to full-size and TKL?

Also any word on the Ducky mini?

ShakeR · « **Reply #28 on:** Fri, 21 June 2013, 11:32:11 »

Shine 3 will not be aluminum. The Year of the Snake has the aluminum case. (that guy's video is quite confusing as he is constantly talking about one keyboard while he's holding another...)

Updated ETA: August 2nd

This includes Full Size only, but I have been told they have plans to release TKL Shine 3 (no ETA yet).

Ducky Mini design has not yet been finalized, so no ETA.

AJCarrington · « **Reply #29 on:** Fri, 21 June 2013, 13:23:12 »

Appreciate the info - does that ETA also cover the YotS board?

ShakeR · « **Reply #30 on:** Fri, 21 June 2013, 19:10:48 »

Nope. Snake should actually be sooner

So glad I snagged my Shine 2 TKL (with browns). Had to have it shipped from Taiwan, as they'd been out everywhere

Excuse me for the stupid question but what "ETA" means? It's a factory release, isn't it?

For those of you looking for a Shine II TKL, they still have some Chinese version ones still in stock.
I bought one and it worked fine for English. I was going to replace the stock keycaps anyways.

The year of the Snake has been advertised as having an aluminum case that would cause it to be priced higher.

ShakeR · « **Reply #39 on:** Sun, 23 June 2013, 11:27:49 »

This ^

The price is almost entirely due to the Aluminum frame.

The plastic frame Year of the Dragon, Rabbit, etc. were around $169. It actually could have been worse as Aluminum Frames usually bump the price $100+ by themselves.

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.

Dang. I really hope I can get one before they sell out then.

Do the Shine3 and the YOTS version share the same feature set aside from the YOTS exclusives?

Actually, I don't know what the YOTS exclusives are aside from the obvious colored snake.

yuki x3 · « **Reply #48 on:** Sat, 29 June 2013, 06:41:54 »

The special feature of the YOTS is an aluminium keyboard case.

Yep. The Aluminum Case is certainly the main difference. Other minor differences:

1) Spacebar Logo
2) YOTS in Mandarin (?) next to arrow keys - I personally love the way this looks.
3) Etched serial number (### / 999) in Aluminum Frame on back edge.

There could be other differences, but I haven't been specifically told what they are.
