Welcome to Geekhack! :cool:
Ducky is a good choice for a backlight keyboard as the build quality is superb! I had a full-size Shine 2 with brown switches and white LEDs...I regret selling it but I just didn't use it often enough after I got a 60%.
Anyway, when you do get your board don't forget to post it in the Post your Duckies! thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44203.0). :thumb:

Bro Caps :D Yes, they sell out quickly. The best thing there is to start joining in on the sales, have patience, and eventually you will get one. Perhaps you will be one of the lucky few who succeeds after joining your first sale!
Be careful with numpads - some of them don't emit numeric keypad key codes, they just emit the top conventional number row codes. That still produces the digits on the screen, but might not work with games if you explicitly need numpad key codes.
