Ducky Shine II - my first blue cherry board
« on: Thu, 08 August 2013, 18:16:07 »
Received a Ducky Shine II (Blue MX) today.
I was using a Corsair K90 Red for the last year.
Really like the blue switches - the sound and feel is very nice  :thumb:

I really don't need the number keys - I should have waited for a TKL version of the Shine III (if they are going to make one),
but I can use this in the meantime -

Congratulations on your nice board--and it's a really good one!  I love Ducky Shine keyboards--they are so well made, feel very solid, and the caps feel wonderful :)

I have two Ducky Shine 1, both with MX blues - fantastic!

Mine had red and green LEDs.  I'll probably get blue next.

White LEDs are best when fitting custom keycaps of different colours - white simply accentuates whatever you put on there.

Did you customize the LED's ?

I would love to have a board with multiple color LED's.

Typing on this thing is really great ~
I like the white with pink keys, very sharp looking.
I guess at night though - it doesn't really matter what color the board is, all I see is the LED's -

I want a TKL version like now ... and it's funny because
I didn't even know they made such a thing until I found this site  ;D
