That looks completely different from what was shown at Computex! Not really a fan of Micro USB though, especially the angle required to push it in for the cable routing.

What happened to the alu case YOTG? That looks really amazing, and there is not much alu case 104 keyborad.

This is nice, but too ordinary.

Can you set the LEDs to all be the same color?

Not even metal?
And yet another full size keyboard?
I used to look forward to the CNY Ducky boards.

Well to be fair, the Year of the Horse board was a 60% metal board... So it makes sense that they go back to full size, especially to make the most of RGB and this dual level PCB thingy.

A decent point, however, to me this board seems like something that would be a normal retail item. Aside from the RGB lighting it doesn't have anything unique about it.
We have seen white cases before.

But not really what the RGB is capable of. There is RGB, then ther is RGB. Ducky are good at backlighting. Very good. They must have done this double layer thing for a reason, I am very intrigued as to how it looks, and how they change RGB. They say it's there for a reason, so let's see.

I saw the Corsair RGB last year, the first outing of it, and it didn't impress me. Then Keycool came along with their RGB offering, and it was just in a different league. I am hoping the extra layer isn't a gimmick.

Very nice.  As my zodiac animal, I was waiting for this.  Already took the plunge earlier in the year and got a YotH with blues.  I like it a lot.  Ducky does a good job with lighting.  Bit disappointed this will use the cheaper body of the one.  But I like the RGB and white look.

Very cool. I like the idea of using Micro USB, probably not too good of an idea in this use case.

I'll be waiting around for the next YoT_ board, I really liked YotH since it was a Ducky Mini edition. I probably should have bought that instead of my Poker 2 with all the money I've thrown at it  :))

Red, brown, and black MX are the only switches that will be available for the YOTG. The Shine 5 should have more options, but not the Goat.

You'll probably have to get one under the Shine 5 series instead. I much prefer the case of these ducky one though.

beautiful with the RGB.

Micro-usb always scares me but the little channel will stabilize any cord movement. I usually fortify the cable with electric tape and other inventions of mine anyways :))
