Hi!
I have ordered the Ducky shine 3 mechanical keyboard which I believe is one of the best or the best keyboard you can buy ( if you know a better keyboard please let me know )
But I still have the chance to cancel the order so should I cancel it and wait for the Ducky Shine 4 or buy something else?
the ducky shine 2 came out on april 2013 or something and shine 3 came out on august 2013 and thats like 4 month gap
but now it has been almost 6 months since the shine 3 was released so the next one should come pretty soon?
What do you think I should do?

If you can wait... Then wait... Buuuut.... It's a shine 3 and is absolutely amazing. I don't really see what else they can add... The shine 5 will hopefully have smd leds like the corsair board.

They may skip the number 4 altogether, 'cause it's kinda bad luck in Chinese :P

The number? Or the horse symbol?
I'm to aware of the Chinese culture....

It may be a while. They are still producing new firmware that adds features to the existing keyboard.
One thing they could produce as an improvement are backlit doubleshot pbt keycaps.

The 3 came out sometime in mid 2013, so I suspect it might be awhile before they make 4's...there's probably a better opportunity that they'd make a year of the horse edition like how they had the snake on the spacebar for shine 3, and year of the dragon editions for 2012.
I have a Shine 2 TKL that I got in Jan 2013, and the Shine 3 has a lot of more color features...but beyond that, they function the same and offer nkey rollover. Lacks the multicolored spacebar and MS lag time feature though.

hey i'm one of the very lucky person which uses ducky shine 3 tkl, do yourself a favour and buy one;) although please use pbt keycaps :) just IMO ;)

Or Pom jellys. I'm looking around. It would look really cool with the blue LEDs.

I want to like the way PBTs look on a backlit board, but with boards like the Shine where the backlight really makes the board what it is, I just can't get on board with non-backlit caps. It's a real shame too, since I really don't like ABS, but that's what 90% (probably more :P) of backlit caps are made of.

yeah partially you're right. After many many many keycaps on keyboard i finally came up with "solution" white dsa pbt backlight is legit;).

I'm kinda new here so what are the differences between pbt and abs keycaps?

Different materials. PBT is generally higher quality and has a rougher surface, while ABS is more "slippery" and the keys can wear quicker.
