This is a thread for everybody to tell the board and the world about their latest keyboard acquisition!
------------------------------------------------
Just received a Ducky Shine 3 TKL with Cherry MX Blues & Green LED illumination!
What a light show!
Love the TKL form factor! Brings the mouse in closer and saves space on the desktop. Very portable also.
I Green LEDs are easier on the eyes than Blue or even White. Really like the Green LEDs. Green and Amber/Orange are probably my favorite LED colors for function over aesthetics.
I like the tactiles and tactile clickies over the linear switches. But linears are nice too. I tend to like higher weighting within the realm of key switches too. So Clears instead of Browns. Greens instead of Blues. Blacks instead of Reds.

Aren't there already a dozen running threads on this topic?
Either way, got a duck viper with badly done switches =[ worked out a repair with the seller very quickly though!
My modded tkl hipro is so fun as well.
Should have some keycaps incoming too

I thought there was a thread "it arrived in the mail" or something already?

The most recent one that arrived was the Matias Tactile Pro, first generation with the simplified grey Alps. It's got me hooked on Alps switches, but unfortunately a couple of the switches are dying (c and b), so I need to swap them around with some I never use. I also need to clean it.

The tricky part about threads like these is all the info gets lots into the abyss... once you get a few pages in, the posts just get lost and don't show up easily in searches.
I recommend making a full review or trying to find a thread that's specifically on the keyboard you bought.
Having said that! I recently got a KUL ES-87 with MX Clear. I'm breaking in the Clears, but I'm not crazy about them. I can see them being really good for those people who really want to avoid bottoming out as they're the only switch I've used that I can type quickly and normally on without bottoming out. It does ping quite loudly, though.
The board itself is actually really well done, and there's no denying that a lot of thought went into it. Might do up a full review in the Reviews section soon.

That's applicable to most threads lately. But the answer is yes.
