Title: White Ducky Shine TaoBao Question
Post by: Lastpilot on Thu, 17 October 2013, 13:10:23

I can't seem to make heads or tails of the Google translation. Are they selling Shine 2 or Shine 3 keyboards? Is this a shine 3 with a white case AND white caps?

I can't find any "official" documentation on a white s3. Did they just "transplant" LE S2 cases?

on the buttons that say  3代    that means S3

3代 translates to  3rd-Generation

Though honestly, you should still probably look into getting in on the Next Round of Ergodoxes..

That looks like Shine III.  Considering the spacebar design and the fact that it's white with white caps.  Shine II had a limited edition black case + white caps version, but no full white.  Light controls on arrow keys etc.  All Shine III features.

Also, welcome back, Tp.

It's Shine III, it has a black case white keycap version, also a white case white keycap version.

Though if they're going to release a white case white keycap blue LED version then it will be my first Ducky.

:D

That's because most people who bought the ergodox.. found happiness and just went on with their lives...

This too happened to me.. except out of my infinite graciousness. I've remained here to preach the great truths to the incoming novices...

to save their souls... if not at least their shoulder/ wrist from the wrath of RSI (aka satin)

In that case can I get a ergodox from you as a sample?

I see. Thanks photo & TP and welcome back!

So which option is the white keyboard AND white caps? I'm assuming it's the one with the plus sign and the two white symbols? If it is that is kind of a ridiculous price.
