Ducky Shine 2...TKL?
« on: Tue, 18 September 2012, 19:24:00 »
Does anyone know if the Shine 2 will be coming in a TKL version or am I stuck buying the YOTD? I really want a TKL with blues and white LED's.

Welcome to Geekhack!

As far as I know, the Shine II is not available as TKL.
"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

It's called Ducky Year of the Dragon.

I haven't confirmed it, but I've heard rumors of a shine 2 ten-keyless coming.

Right, they showed a tenkeyless version at some electronics shows in the summer, that was different than the Dragon Year. No word on if or when it will be available yet though.

It is DK9087 Shine II, but Ducky has not released any timetable for it yet...
