Ducky Shine 4
« on: Wed, 01 October 2014, 12:55:25 »
Hey guys and gals! We are receiving a VERY limited supply of Shine 4s in the coming weeks. They are currently available for preorder and going fast! Once all the incoming keyboards are preordered, they will not be available until later this year when they're released in larger numbers. So if you want one, you better scoop one up pretty quick.  :thumb:

Brown MX, Blue MX, and Red MX available now. Black MX and Green MX will be available later this year.

All with blue LED - is that the only colour Ducky is making?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I just wanted to say this post is what made me join. I know this is a vendor post, but it's great seeing a community that works so close with vendors as well as discussing great tech like this.

Will the Shine 4 ever come in TKL format, for this year's purchase?

Ehhhh... hard to say. I don't recall reading/hearing anything from Ducky regarding a S4 TKL.

Shine 2 with clears is my favorite keyboard ever, I can't help it if Ducky refuses to meet my needs, wants and desires  :p

I actually bought a Shine 3 to put clears in but never got around to it.  :-[

Received mine today. Posted a slew of pictures and a small vid. Loving this board so far, and I might have just found a new online money pit to donate to.

Thank you MechanicalKeyboards.com  :thumb:

Mass Drop is running a Ducky Mini group buy with Clears as an option.  Seriously if WASD, KUL, KBParadise, and Vortex can get their hands on them - what's Ducky's excuse for not offering more boards with them?

Crossing my fingers for a TKL version of this, but with the Mini out now I'm fearing it may not happen

Maybe it won't take them too long to get around to a Pro version with Clears this time around.

Please don't hold your breath. Ducky has not confirmed/denied that they will produce any more G2Pros. Current indicators are that they are finished with the line. But...we will see.

Do you happen to know if the Ducky Shine 4 is still coming with the horse spacebar? Also, is there any chance you've got a spare horse spacebar lying around you'd be willing to sell?

Yes, the do come with them. $15 dollars shipped to the first person to email me at justin@mechanicalkeyboards.com, since we have severely limited quantities (< 2). They have not sent us any extras.
