Hey guys,
The Ducky Shine keyboard looks like a real winner to me and I'm eager to get it but there's one deal breaker, I was looking at some youtube video reviews of this keyboard and I could see clearly that the character printing on the keycaps was inverted, for eg, the question mark symbol was below the forward slash etc, similarly with other dual function keys. This was a keyboard ordered from TigerImports. Now in another video review another guy bought his Overclock.net branded Ducky shine from TankGuys and his keycaps were the normal regular non-inverted keycaps.
I live in Alberta, does anybody know where I can order the regular 'non-inverted' keycaps version of this keyboard and not spend an arm and a leg? Shipping charges ordering through TigerImports or Tankguys is over $30 which brings this keyboard purchase into the $180+- range which is SUPER high so this has to be damn right the first time.
As a side note, where can I get regular black PBT keycaps with translucent character printing for this KB?

You can't. Sorry.
Don't have an answer about the inverted symbols tho... never noticed that one.

But can one order replacement ABS keycaps for this KB then? It's something I'd have to do every year.

does it really matter if its inverted or not?

Depends on how intoxicated one is when typing on the keyboard...
