Ducky Shine 3 Coming out soon~

[bahamot]

new YOTS video on youtube:

[BlueByLiquid]

I wanted the YOTS version when it had purple backlighting. It looked amazing with the aluminum finish and the purple lights. Now that it only comes in white I just bought the shine 3 with purple lights.

Someone already got his YOTS:http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/1jy6nr/ducky_year_of_the_snake_dk9008s3_279999/
So lucky of him  ...

Man... If desoldering LED's wasn't so much work, I'd buy that thing so fast...

I got my shipping confirmation yesterday afternoon. Should be here Saturday

[lyrill]

These are selling out quick. Blue and purple LED and blue switches are gone. Anyone got their shipping notice yet? I was expecting mine.

i find it really hilarious that people like the blues the most, and the reds with purple leds... until i see it i won't go out of my way to buy something that exotic

[tns]

Just got it from the Taiwanese store

edit : by the way there is only 40 limited units in taiwan

[tns]

Then here comes the bad part TT...

Well was wondering if it was a manufactured problem or... a delivery problem...

EDIT : haha nevermind it's a new feature I didn't know XDDDDD
SORRY!

[bahamot]

tns, what's the weight of the YOTS? Does it really feel heavier than standard Ducky Shine?

edit: what's the switch?

Hmm I can't tell atm, but it feels heavier than my Filco MJ2, and of course my Duckies TKLs...
maybe 1.5 or 1.7 x Filco MJ2 don't really know because I did not bring my Filco in Taiwan haha
I'll go watch tomorrow

my YotS #631 is blue switches, as well as #632 (they told me which number I wanted, they only got 2 blues)

Then here comes the bad part TT...

And now I am disturbed for an only shiny keycap layout x'D

[bigsid05]

How do you set it up to illuminate all the keys?

[tns]

How do you set it up to illuminate all the keys?

Fn + F9, to see how fast is the key repetition, I didn't know there was LEDs to show the level

NOTE :
And talking about showing the levels on the keyboard, you can't see the level or Red, Green, Blue for the space bar, then when you plug out plug in, it resets

[tns]

tns, what's the weight of the YOTS? Does it really feel heavier than standard Ducky Shine?

edit: what's the switch?

1,420 Kg

[bahamot]

1,420 Kg

Only 20gram heavier than the plastic top cover...
Oh well, it looks nice though. 

Thanks.

[bigsid05]

Any way to get F2-F4 and F6-F8 to all light up at the same time? Or are these only used to display the Delay/Rate modes?

You can choose to display your key repetition level or not... not means : F2 to F4 & F6 to F8 light up

In Australia that would read as nearly one and a half tonnes!

It's the comma that does it.  But is is about 1 1/5 Kg - ok.

"jus gone" - see - did it again )

I believe its Fn+F9

[bigsid05]

I believe its Fn+F9

That did it! Thanks - and now I see where that's detailed in the manual.

WOW am I disapointed! Just got my Shine 3. I ordered Purple LEDs with blue  switches. Ducky aparently made a HOT Pink version (like crazy pink not like slightly off purple) and they sent me that instead it is discusting. Wow it is ugly. This photo doesn't do justice to just how pink this is. I'm having barbie vs GI Joe battle flashbacks from my childhood.

Here's mine with Blue LEDs. Looks a lot better than the purple. I'm sorta glad they messed up my order. I initially ordered purple.

[SpAmRaY]

So did the colors just not translate maybe?

[jameslr]

no clue, but that definitely looks pink to me.

[jameslr]

I really like this board, but I have had some weird problems with it so far. On reactive mode - I pressed Fn + right arrow to adjust the timing, and the keyboard crashed. LEDs went totally blank, and was unresponsive. I had to reboot to get it back (yes I tried unplugging it and re-plugging it in). The keyboard is plugged directly into the computer, and not into a hub. I'm running Windows 8 x64 on an i7 2600k w/ 16 GB of RAM. Custom built PC. Never had a keyboard crash before.

Anyone else had any problems like this?

There is always a lot of confusion between pink and purple.  Getting LED colours just right is tricky, and many boards with purple look pink, and with pink look purple.

I think Ducky Shine IIs were like this as well. I got a White LED Shine III and am liking it so far. The white is a very 'cool' white (blue-ish) as opposed to the warmer white on my Max Keyboard Nighthawk X8.

The ducky shine IIs didn't come in purple they specifically came in pink according to duckys website.

Interesting. I assume you purchased it from MK.com? Maybe they can do something to help out. That is pretty clearly not purple in those pictures.

Yes I purchased it from MK.com I have an email in to them so hopefully they will do something but I'm guessing ducky just didn't make them with purple LEDs. At someones request I started a separate thread just to let people know like me who wouldn't have ordered it if they weren't going to be purple but its still awaiting approval.
It is just very strange as all ducky's videos have clearly shown a purple LED color and not pink so it is very weird that they would do this at the last minute. I know it is harder to get dark purple LEDs so I was excited when I saw these. You would think they would just sell it as pink if they couldn't actually get purple LEDs.

Thats what I said this is NOT as case of getting slightly off. These are SOLID pink like bubble gum. there is not hint of purple. The biggest shock is they clearly had actually purple LEDs because all the boards demoed up until this point were actually purple so they have changed LEDs they are using.

Has there been any information about the release dates on the YotS, the Mini and the TKL version yet?

[rowdy]

Several people have got theirs already, so I guess they are already available in some places.

You'd probably have to consult your local retailer to find out.

[BlueByLiquid]

I weighed the shine 3 for reference and it is 1161grams. So its much much lighter. It may be these sissy pink lights that are making it so light though.

LOL I dont have such a thing as a local retailer sorry. I do all my keyboard shopping online so I just need to wait for MK or Qtan to get them.
Thanks for the advise though

I heard mini might be there around september...

But since TKL and 60% are not that popular in Taiwan... I guess the majority of the deliveries will be for online stores

Isn't that good for everyone outside Taiwan, since we get more boards ?
