I asked the guys at MechanicalKeyboards.com when I was there. They said sometime early in the summer (June/July) but I didn't get any other details. I assume it would be like YotD with a few tweaks but who knows.

Is there such a thing as Year of the Shark?

Could have quite a market around here ...
"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

Since I have 2 YotD's (red&blk mx) I'll have to get at least one of the year of the Snake editions, hope they will have a wider switch choice on these.

If I had to guess an 87 w/ improved stabilizers and some sort of PBT/Doubleshot/Dyesub backlit keycaps.

And potentially some extremely limited run of Ergo-Clear'ish switch.

GET ER DONE!

That would be very nice I hope that might be available we'll have to wait and see.

does ducky make a board for every special year? Did they make a board before year of the dragon?

My Year of the Rabbit says hello!

And before that there were two more. Tiger and Ox?
