Like really who even uses those lighting modes during regular use? I mean sure, it makes for a nice experience at LAN parties for a few minutes but it's not very practical

For $300 it at least better have a aluminum case...

So we can expect ducky RGB as soon as the deal end ?

The way I understood the corsair deal was that they had distribution exclusivity for a year, not development exclusivity.

Because if their shine RGB is 300$ it won't sell great .
Post by: tbc on Thu, 01 January 2015, 18:12:22
Wouldn't it be a special edition like Ducky often do ?
Because if their shine RGB is 300$ it won't sell great .
i would think the shine FOUR rgb would be a special edition with a high price.
their shine FIVE would probably be rgb by default.

that would make sense
i don't now how long they've had access to the RGB module for dev purposes
so it might just be a test
it could also just be kale

I hope to hell for $300 they're Cherry :P
I might get a little bit of hate for this, but I'm honestly getting sick of all this marketing towards how many LED modes and colors we can shove into a board, it's getting old.

No hate at all.
I just want to change the color sometimes lol.
Like instead of blue all year round, maybe some green and change the whole color scheme in windows.
Competition is good for the consumer. So more LEDs from each company means better products and such lol

To my knowledge talking to Corsair and Ducky reps, it ended at midnight on 31/12/14
Now is it worth 2x the amount of a regular ducky shine?
Hope it comes with doubleshot pbt caps to justify the price point.
I don't think they will go that far. They may do PBT, but I can't see them doing doubleshots.

Post by: falkentyne on Tue, 13 January 2015, 07:10:41
So it's $240 in USD.
LED's are red/blue and green/yellow (dual-dual).
So looks like you'll have 16 primary colors at full intensity by combining red/blue/green/yellow, then secondary colors by combining brightness levels.
wondering if white is possible with these?.
Because red and green make yellow, but it already has a yellow LED.
Yellow+cyan+Magenta make black...good luck with that...(is that even possible with LEDs without having them off?)

Should I ever get one, and should the lighting mode be settable from the computer, then you could connect it to your notification system and set up something like: flash arrow keys for new email, flash numpad when you finish compiling, flash the function keys when a download finishes etc.
Could be quite useful.
PS But not for $300.

It sometimes seems to me that half of all Duckys produced are special and limited edition somethings or others.

They could have at least put a clear switch on the spacebar.

http://www.ncix.com/detail/ducky-shine-4-69-fire-73-104833.htm
Oh wait CAD
So it's even cheaper
Still confused
FYI $190 CAD = $152.58 USD
That's way more reasonable than $300 to me.

that looks like someone let their 8 y/o kid design a keyboard. "I LIKE RAINBOWS." It just seems so arbitrary.

At least the HHKB you're paying for Topre switches and the unique layout. With this you're paying for shiny lights and a horse on the spacebar . . .

I agree. IMO it's super jarring when a keyboard does that with commonly used keys. Typing on that would be an odd experience; 7 different switch types on one board. :-\
