Title: Help with the Ducky Shine 3?
Post by: Sairer on Sat, 29 March 2014, 21:55:41: Hi there everyone!

After a little while of using the Ducky shine 3, I have found that it is a great keyboard and I like the sound that the Cherry mx brown!
Anyway, I would like to know what the functions of the F1 and the F5 keys are with the little speedometer underneath, and what they do? They are both on and I am not sure what they do.
I would also like some help on turning the space bar light off because there is no way that i can get the blue to match the deep blue that i have my keys on, I managed to turn it back on then I accidentally turned it back on again and i can't remember how i turned it off, could someone please help? :D

Thanks :)

Hahah thanks for that :D Sorry for the late reply, I just got my computer back last night because of the Motherboard failing, Oh well, That's a large hole burnt in the pocket once more :P
I will have to find the English version of the manual so I can have a quick read!

Thanks again.

The Ducky product page has info on LED settings, and at the bottom a link to download the manual. I didn't, so I don't know what language it is, but I would hope that the English version of the web site would link to the English version of the manual.

I discussed that with a friend who also got the same with me but he got the shine 2 and Magenta LED. Anyway he says he loves the sound of the brown switches and so forth. But I would have loved to have gotten the blue, But they were a bit loud for my house and I think the sound would have traveled so I would have probably gotten told off.
But I was using a G510 before this keyboard and although it doesn't have the crappy little screen that shows performance I don't mind going without, But It is such a big difference, and is worth the money I would say.
