I thought the number 4 was bad luck or something?
Oh ok.I thought the number 4 was bad luck or something?
When mispronounced, it is the same as "Death" or the verb "to die" in Mandarin.
At least this will probably make all the other Duckys go down in price, hopefully.

Wouldn't it make them go up in price? If no one likes the new design the old ones will be even more desirable.

How does a keyboard company not understand ergonomics? Tilting a keyboard like that actually is bad for your wrists.
I'm a fan of volume knobs, so I do like that. Not sure what they will use the 2nd one for. It's not like you change the backlight brightness that often.

but people LOVE them.
look at this forum and see how many people get upset when they don't get feet on their Kustom cases.
Super round corners, glossy plastic, fancy shape... I'm thoroughly unimpressed :/

Ew.....
Those rubber steps look like it can be removed and lower the board...
Don't like what ducky is doing with this unless this is some sort of economic cheap board.
I imagine the shine series will continue and this will run along the zero shine.
Has anybody seen a sort of Razer look to this board? Shiny and weird shape...
Angled USB port in this new design for stress relief. I wonder if they had problems where the previous shines would have their female mini b's snap off?Are talking the cable or connector? I haven't had an issue, I move my keyboard every two weeks to my fathers house, cable is fine.

I *really* don't like those hard legs. I prefer the flip out legs so I can adjust the angle myself.
i have no idea where they would put knobs on a TKL.

It'll either be a full size exclusive feature, or we'll get two micro knobs in between the arrows & del/ins cluster.

More like a failed abortion....Has anybody seen a sort of Razer look to this board? Shiny and weird shape...
It's like Razer and Das Keyboard had an abortion. It's such an ugly board that looks cheap and ugly. While it's nice to see some Dip switches, the case design is just terrible.

I sincerely hope they are not so committed to this knob business that they would start cramming tiny ones anywhere there is free space. I cant think of a single function that a knob could perform that couldn't be done at least as well with a Fn+Key combo.
volume control. knobs kick the **** out of fn buttons. i say that because thats how it is on the shine 3 and it makes me miserable

Just make a script with AutoHotkey : modifier key + wheel mouse. You won't have to reach for a knob that you don't need anymore.

once again....not a knob. especially not a dedicated knob that does one thing and that I don't have to touch when I don't care to. it's not like it actually gets in the way (physically or because I thought it did something else).
there's alot to be said for keeping UI consistent everywhere.
look at it this way:
does dedicated audio equipment use buttons or knobs? well for me, every piece of consumer equipment (ala dacs/amps) i've seen uses knobs for volume control.
consistency that doesn't cause ambiguity is always a good trait.

With this mindset, I guess you hate using a FN layer too?
As a musician relying on hardware to control my DAW and plugins, I know the value of a properly designed physical interface and can appreciate when a dedicated knob comes in handy. But when I am using my computer for anything else, I find the AHK script extremely useful and intuitive, as it lets me change the volume without having to reach for a knob (or a slider on the screen).
I'm not saying it is the best way to do it, just that if you really need to control the volume easily, you might want to give it another chance.
Thank you, Ducky, for taking a page from Razer with that shiny casing.
And thank you again, for learning from Azio Levetron how to put in volume knobs.
Now why don't you 'make' your own special switches from Kailh?
I think I'll stick with my IBM buckling springs.
btw for those who are unhappy at my negativity, let me assure you, I'm all positive about this. :)) I won't be spending money on this so it's a very good thing.

I can't stand reflective stuff on my desk at all, if you're being sarcastic, which I suspect you are, I'm in the same boat.

Is that different colored LEDs, I can't really tell....
Could it mean? Could it mean ducky has some form of rgb, or just ruin my dreams and have separate LEDs on each switch?it's not glossy :DInteresting.....Show Image(https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t31.0-8/10431310_10152486308993809_1357318281240651721_o.jpg)

What is the deal with those nobs? I wouldn't buy this just because of them. Other than that the board looks nice. I like the case design.
The knobs are.

no, but 5mm RGB LEDs can fit in

1 knob for volume, another for LED intensity? :))
Interested to see what kind of new kbs will be demo'd at Computex this year.
think we can get someone to make knob mods for it ?...idk ? knobinator? bro knobs? twist clacks?
COLORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOO
DUCKY GIMME ALL THE COLORS NOW :p
But wait, does that mean that they used kailh to fit leds that change colors?
Wow! Looks cool. Not liking the case on the Tesoro though
Ew lol... Corsair at least is getting their heads out of their asses.Wow! Looks cool. Not liking the case on the Tesoro though
You should see their mice, the Gandiva is a bloody mess... :rolleyes:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Ozpb9ek.jpg)Show Image(http://itndaily.ru/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Gandiva21.jpg)
Dat off-centered sensor... Plus some average build quality... :-X
But yeah, looks cool and all, but somehow I'm really not that excited about it.
I'll compare with the Corsair Vengeance K70 RGB, which should arrive here next week.
Is it just me, or does the video make it look like the LED's are missing the "G" from RGB. The demo showed variations of Red and Blue only.
Where did Tesoro even come from. The first I heard about them was when he who shall not be named started shilling them on Reddit.
Back on topic, those knobs are even worse in the video. They're massive and just look ridiculous on top of an already bad design. If they swapped to Kailh as well, they are now no better than Razer in my eyes.

seem like a brand of Max Keyboard, not sure about this but MK site have them on their products
It doesn't look as shiny, but that could just be the lighting conditions.
i just want spacebar :)
and it seems that the rear feet are 2 parts (based on picture )
Hi guys, a little update from the Ducky Facebook site : :eek: :pShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/6RN1nlu.jpg)
What I would like to see is Ducky reduce the size of the bezel around the keys; it seems very thick. Based on the photo in relation to the key cap size, it appears to be at least twice the size of the bezel on my Majestouch 2 and Novatouch. This is also what I do not like about the case of the Ducky Mini v2.
Wow, I'm the only one who DOESN'T WANT the horse space bar and WANTS the knobs.Appears so... I'd probably reuse the space from my DS3... Not the snake one though. Or buy MK space bar for it...
Wow, I'm the only one who DOESN'T WANT the horse space bar and WANTS the knobs.To be fair I am interested in neither of those features.

I don't understand why anyone would want knobs on their keyboard. Where is your volume control? ???I never used the volume scrolly thingy on my K90 when I had it...
+1 A space-bar like that only points the light at you and is distracting as ****. As for the knob it only effects master volume, which I always want the OS set to 100%. I have an Objective 2 amp for master volume.Wow, I'm the only one who DOESN'T WANT the horse space bar and WANTS the knobs.To be fair I am interested in neither of those features.
When is it going to be released?
The Year of the Horse is this year. Next year is the Year of the Goat. Who wants a goat on their space bar?
Not digging the nobs nor the shiny.

Well you're in luck since the knobs are gone. Do you mean the shiny finish? Because in the most recent photo it doesn't look as shiny anymore. Maybe they've turned to a more matte finish.

Where's yours? Mine is through software or on the back of my speakers. Not easy to do if playing a full-screen game.
