« on: Wed, 20 November 2013, 08:26:31 »
I have increased my budget and can get a Ducky shipped to South Africa from Qtan for a good price!

Any last comments on this board before I place my order?

It's a great choice of a board, according to all that I've heard about it. I've ordered a yellow edition one myself, but due to some delays it'll probably be mid-December before I get it in the mail.

I think the S3 uses unusually high profile keycaps. This takes some getting used to!

The flip out feet aren't rubberized either so this does cause the board to slide a little bit.

Not sure if any of these are issues for you, but otherwise good choice!! Very solid board.

They should be OEM like almost every keyboard. Perhaps the case is rather low.

Good board.  White backlighting goes with anything, including those LED colour changing plastic thingies that you can get from the GB if you ever want to change the LED colours.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Thanks guys!

You haven't told us which switches, but good choice!

Haha thanks, the reason for this is that after alot of research on switches it comes down to personal preference at the end of the day :)
Plus I will just get confused if people start telling me which switches they prefer and why...  :-\

I have used a steelseries 6vg2 and that was fine, would the ducky hight be more then this?
The key are pretty good looking at the direct specifications, but if i dnt like them i will get them replaced at a later stage.

Anyone know where i could get a white key cap replacement kit for ducky shine 3? I have looked but no luck :(

They are not yet available...spacebar needs backlighting for color-changing strobes...unsure of plans for the future, but I imagine that Ducky will release some since they are head-over-heels for their latest creation!  :cool:
