Looks like Computex Pics. Keycaps looks Blackwidow-ish and they kinda messed up the symbols by switching the top and bottom.

Cool. No wonder OCN said that they might be able to get some backlit Duckies. So it's called DK9008 "Shine"? lol

Shiny duck

cool

Are those green LEDs on the Caps/Num/Scroll Lox?

What will a Color Blind person see when he/she sees the green LEDs?

I would assume it would depend on what type of color blindness. Some might see it as white.

That looks pretty badass... Wonder if they will ever come out with a backlit tenkeyless. what's the ETA on this release?
-
Cherry MX Series**** Ok... But Cherry Proxy Switch... What is this?
-
I think it looks pretty good. I like that they centered the legends on the Shift/CL/Tab/Enter/etc, but I guess that is typical on a backlit board.
Anyone able to tell me what the four keys in the top right corner are??
-
I believe I've read somewhere that Proxy switches are used on long keys like Shift to help make them more firm and stable. Although that does nothing to explain how they work or their makeup. I'm guessing they probably just a little plastic stabilizer?

Some manufacturers put a REAL switch to act as a stabilizer.
Ugh, besides making the key firmer because you have two extra switches to compress, that doesn't sound like it would do much to help stabilize the key. I imagine if you pressed the left side of the key just the left side would actuate as opposed to the entire key actuating?
-
So would the key register with either switch deppressed? How would they prevent getting double-registers with off center key presses?

I don't know about the enter key but Deck do the same (brown on each sides) for large keys and it is very effective.

I'm a bit red/green color blind, green usually just looks yellow. Luckily I can see that specific shade of green.
Anyone notice a striking resemblance of the keycap legends to the upcoming mionix keyboard?

Arrow keys are fugly. Other than that, it's cool.
-
Which keys? The Shifts? That's weird.
My Deck has those "fake" cherry switches as stabilizers on the spacebar at least.
-
and now: tenkeyless
-
The keyboard looks nice and it is good for gamer at night. But I touch type and find that backlit option is not necessary.
So how much is the extra backlit costs?
-
Personally, I'm digging having two switches, depending how the manage to register the keypress. To check that we would have to take a look at the back of the board, right?
-
What is stupid is doubling the force by cheaping out like the Duckys do and try and use one PCB for BigAssEnter/ANSI.
The double-switch quackery aside, it seems like discussing Duckys always puts you in a fowl mood.
-
Now this thread is really flying off topic. I don't know why so many wise guys flock to these threads; birds of a feather I guess. It's probably very confusing for the new folks who really just need a veteran world mechanical keyboard expert to take them under their wing.
-
They really are strange on that side of the pond.

my gf thinks this kb is lulz (kinda)

I wonder why the Chinese call it a "Proxy Switch"?
I thought proxy routers were illegal in Communist china. Communist censorship and all.

Google translation does it all. Chinese has many words that sound the same and Google picks the closest translation, often the wrong and funny one.

I would expect another color for the backlight also, so many keyboards (I mean, most of the few ones that do have backlight) have blue leds... It would be nice to have some nice leds like the ones that Razer has on the Naga Epic, the new version of the Lachesis, and such, so you are able to set the color of the leds... eh ;)
-
Wow what a sweet looking shining ducky! I mean, not as crazy as a backlit non-mechanical kb I have, but for mechanical keyboard, this is pretty classy looking. Thumbs up.
PS here's the link to my limited edition KBTalking Light (backlit with anime girl design, and multiple colors) =)
