Title: New PBT Double Shot Translucent Key Caps - Will They Work For My Ducky Shine 3?
Post by: tackyjan on Sat, 13 September 2014, 04:37:48

Hello All,

I have a Shine 3 DK9008 (http://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/Shine_3_DK9008.html) keyboard and I really don't like the feel of the keys. They get greasy/oily fast and I find myself constantly cleaning it.

I was reading today that Vortex has released a Translucent PBT+POM Double Shot Keycap Set (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1003) which is available at MechanicalKeyboards (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com).

(http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/images/products/large_1003_10497525_722020527865660_7742843942542409516_o.jpg)

My question is, would these keycaps work on my Ducky Shine 3 keyboard? Also, how will the key backlighting be affected by these keycaps?

Thank you,

Jan

Yes, except for the extra 4 keys in the top right corner of the Ducky.

Backlighting might be slightly (very slightly) dimmer with the Vortex set, but probably not that you'd notice.  And you could always hike the brightness up a notch.

More discussion of what I think is the same set here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61149.0).
