Down to 3 boards left!

What on earth...didn't even realize that such a board existed.

I got the shipping notification for my Shine 2 - 78 today, as I finally bought one over the weekend. Looks like my timing was spot on, for a change. :rolleyes:
-
It's now 2.

I can't believe people bought this.

Only 1 left, whose it gonna be?

That thing is a big ol' mess :)

It is a bit of a novelty, but it's really not that bad. I had a chance to play with it a few weeks ago and it would make a pretty decent board if you like backlighting and MX-Red switches. The other switches are in places that you typically wouldn't use that much, so I can see someone using this keyboard to sample some of the other types of switches. If you want to see the backlighting, I shot some video (http://vimeo.com/61980042). It's after the Tex Mini.
Personally, I was very tempted to buy it as a tester board. It's the fact that it's limited that was driving my purchase decision though, so I opted to hold off. Besides, at the rate I'm going, I'll have complete boards with each switch :rolleyes: and in my experience, I need to use a keyboard for a day or so to really get a feel for the switch. Testing just 3 Function keys simply isn't enough.

It's definitely a fun looking keyboard to try out different switches with.

In your video, the Escape Key had a 78 keycap, but in all pictures I've seen just a normal Esc key, do you know why this is, does it include both?

The one I got in the mail yesterday has the "78" Escape key.

Did it also include a standard "Esc" key?

I don't think so, it did come with a wire keycap puller and a red WASD cluster. In addition to the grey (?) switch tester/key chain thingie. Not near it at the moment, I'll check when I get home.
