I have not one, but it might just be stiff or the keycap might not be installed correctly.

It probably has Cherry stabilisers, so it is trivial to (carefully) pop the keycap off and put it back on.

Maybe you all know this but (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ducky-Keyboard/117547488320354)
Shine 3 supports firmwareupdating through USB interface. A new firmware update that adds a new lighting mode is going to be released in the coming weeks. Feel free to contact us if you have any ideas for improvement or new lighting modes. Thanks for your support and feedbacks.

Are there any planes for allowing addressable firmware at runtime? So I could control the LEDs to do what I want at runtime. I did this a while back for my kinesis

and I have been messing around with things like showing CPU usage on function/number keys or other status indicators.

New lighting mode on recent firmware update: Aurora

Skull_Angel · « **Reply #309 on:** Thu, 22 August 2013, 14:29:01 »

My girlfriend is currently using a Shine 3 MX Red with purple LED; the latest firmware patch seems to fix the issue she had with it going unresponsive while changing lighting modes for the first time after boot, but a new one has arisen. Now she gets random crashes where the keyboard goes completely unresponsive after changing, saving and/or loading the RGB settings of the spacebar. The only way to fix this seems to be a reboot or unplugging the keyboard; I've tried uninstalling and sweeping any drivers, but the issue persists.

Does anyone else have similar issues withe the Shine 3?

rowdy · « **Reply #310 on:** Wed, 28 August 2013, 04:02:26 »

FWIW the Ducky Shine 3 is in stock at PCCG - the 4 common MX switches and about half a dozen LED colours. All are $159.

That RGB (and fast LED mode switching) crashing was fixed with the aurora firmware update (1.14). 1.13 didn't have aurora.

Yeah that looks exactly like the stock picture of the ducky shine 2 with clears, I would like more proof than reusing a stock photo

Yep, the bottom is just regular plastic like all other Ducky KB's. Due to the aluminum top, it weighs exactly 3ibs or 1.36kg, making it my heaviest KB....

That's nut too much! I have an M, and I think that it weighs 6 or 7 pounds.

dante · « **Reply #322 on:** Fri, 30 August 2013, 07:53:30 »

I'll be curious to see how fast the aluminum YOTS sell out. As far as I know either the YOTD didn't sell very well or they made a crap ton of them; for example you can still buy these from imsto/qtan.

Do fullsize outsell tenkeyless by a wide margin in Asia?

I thought it would be a little heavier. For reference the quickfire XT I just weighed is a tad more than 3lbs.

TKL next month, looks like.

from the FB page;

"(English) Ducky Shine 3 DK9087 backlit keyboard is due to arrive in October. It will be available in the following layout: Chinese, US, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Nordic, Thai, and UK. Talk to your retailer about ordering yours today."

rowdy · « **Reply #325 on:** Thu, 05 September 2013, 23:29:49 »

That's promising - thank you for the update!

eyesmiles · « **Reply #326 on:** Thu, 05 September 2013, 23:47:31 »

The Japanese version is tempting. If I remember correctly, they only made so much of the Shine 2 9008 in Japanese. It was limited to blue LEDs as well.

rowdy · « **Reply #327 on:** Thu, 05 September 2013, 23:52:12 »

So it is wondered whether the Shine 3 TKL will be available with a range of LED backlight colours in US layout.

That did it! Thanks - and now I see where that's detailed in the manual.

omg dude

not to come off as rude( the community here really bashes on rude people but seriously dude?)

but anyone who deserves to own the ducky 3 paid enough minimum attention to the hype, me myself I followed its inception from the get go on chinese forums. not that you need that, but all the videos popping out early summer more than enough explains the simply function controlling methods, you can't even call it methods..it's just more functions, same old fn key bs since the first laptop start adopting that, or the first non full size keyboard at that

Here's mine with Blue LEDs. Looks a lot better than the purple. I'm sorta glad they messed up my order. I initially ordered purple.

you don't know blue until you used aivia osmium +deck frost/ice(whichever isn't white)

Wow the Blue really looks nice... I think I like Green/Orange the best but Blue is probably the one I could tolerate day in day out.

In regards to the TKL version how will you save the color of the space bar with the full sizer version I think it's alt+fn and any number on the number pad. Correct me if I'm wrong. I really wish I was able to detach the number pad when ever I felt like it.

Yes, they have a snake logo on the space bar.

Originally this special space bar was only to come with the Year of the Snake keyboards, but apparently Ducky decided to install it on all Shine 3 too.

Thanks for the reply! Sorry, I meant it if it came with a cleaner looking one. I know there's one that looks like... ___ (Ducky) ___ , however I was hoping for something more like the Shine 2's.

Also, have they improved the stabilizers on the Shine 3's? Or are they the same as the 2?

For those wondering about the 6KRO or NKRO on the Shine 3, I just got this response from Josh at TigerImports:

I asked:
"Will the Ducky Shine 3 support 6KRO as older versions have or will it only support NKRO?"

Josh replied:
"6KRO. It will be the same as the Shine II."

He also said, "We should receive Shine IIIs in a week or so."

Hope that helps and I hope he is right about the 6KRO as I am a MAC user...

Thanks peeps...

After emptying your wallet, and it arrives, can you verify that it only does NKRO, please?

As a mac user, this will make me sad.

That said, I hope you enjoy your keyboard when it arrives.

The dip switch under the keyboard can toggle between 6 KRO and NKRO.
[Edit] After some googling it appears they removed that... Hopefully it doesn't affect it from working on a mac.

I got myself a Year of the Snake this week with my birthday money and it's just arrived. In love with it.

The firmware update which is out for the Shine 3s, that would be for this as well right? As far as I understand this is just a special edition Shine 3, but I know firmware can cause some pretty big issues with things if you get it wrong so I just want to check before I go ahead and do anything.

PadawanGeek · « **Reply #345 on:** Wed, 18 September 2013, 19:11:41 »

The firmware update is for DS3 as well as the YOTS edition, it supposedly addresses some compatibility issue as add a new lighting effect called Aurora. I have it installed on my YOTS the moment I'd first plugged it into my rig.

gregd33 · « **Reply #346 on:** Thu, 19 September 2013, 08:43:15 »
