You would think that they would have options for each switch type and back-lighting colour on one page, rather than one page for each combination.

I don't follow...it is all on one page?

I was meaning, instead of multiple product pages for each board,
Just have one for the Ducky DK9008 Shine,
and have all of the different options in a selection box, or something similar.
Basically just have one URL for the Ducky Shine, rather than 16.

Oooh right yeah, I guess this is just how they do it because AFAIK the whole store is tied into an automatic database that keeps track of stock and stuff. So the instant an order goes through it will register that they are out of stock for someone else looking at it.

Yes, Ducky DK9008 Shine in the list

On product page:
Switch type: -dropdown-
LED Colour: -dropdown-

Well, their shop system looks like it's really old.

Other than their inefficient way of presenting products, they are a great website.
I've spent a few hundred with them, as have a number of my friends.
I'm trying to convince someone to buy a tkl leopold from them,
So that he will swap it with my full-sized one. >:D

I've been using them for years. Personally sent multiple thousands of dollars their way in exchange for computers and I have also referred many friends over for new rig's parts.

It's a shame that they never really have good specials..
Or if you only need one or two cables it still costs $12 to get it sent to you..

PC Case Gear are amazing.
They **** all over the competition in Australia, at least.
To those of you complaining about how the website is organised, I'm yet to see one organised better. AusPCMarket is so difficult to navigate that its not funny. I have no problems with PCCG, though.

Between myself and my brother, we've spent an arseload of money there, and won't be stopping any time soon.

The one downfall I can think of for a mechanical keyboard... The fact that they're so heavy, they cost a fortune to ship.

Yeah... Don't know how much it is to ship a Shine but it cost me about $12 for my CM's and Topre.  

One thing to note about the new batch of Ducky's that was noticed by someone was the fact that the CAPSLOCK, NUMLOCK, SCROLL etc. are all the same colour as the main LED's.  The first batch had a different colour for those keys.  My Shine with Blue LED's have red CAPSLOCK etc. LED's.

They also sell ducky shines for slightly less (since shipping is free) in Australia.

PCCG Site if perfect, everything is clear and easy to use. AUSPC are working on their site and its a lot better then it used to be.
