Title: NZXT White Ducky Shine 3
Post by: tribade on Fri, 24 January 2014, 18:41:25: Didn't see a thread here on it. Looks like NZXT is taking pre-orders on a white Ducky Shine 3 for $150:

The email I got about it only mentions red switches so I'd presume that'll be the only switch available at release.

To the best of my knowledge that's the first white Shine 3 I've seen. It's pretty nifty looking if you ask me. And it doesn't look like it has any NZXT branding that I can see.

Sadly this is true. I wish they would do something like only produce TKL for a series to make it more popular. More money saved for them, as they can pretty much charge full-size price but have to make less, and more of us satisfied. Even having it universally available as an alternative would be a great solution, but alas I won't be considering the Premier because of it.

Apparently it'll come with a braided cable as well.
