Oo Ducky Shine 3... What else could they do with it? I wonder if it'll have air conditioning built into it for my fingers.

[kelske]

Maybe they somehow figured out how to get backlighting to show through their Dyesub thick PBT caps

If only..

I don't see how this would be possible unless it was double shot with white PBT for the lettering. However, this issue would be plagued by backlit bleeding through the PBT plastic I guess we'll end up seeing in due time.

What do I think?  I think they are screwing retailers over...

I feel bad for ShakeR; they still have Ducky Shine I's still in inventory and just loaded up on Shine II's.

The Shine 3 might get the improved stabilizers from the Zero?

oo the new stabilizers from the Zero, I totally forgot about that )

[Tempest790]

That's interesting.

I'm going to get another Shine II with Cherry Reds, but I'm curious to what other improvements they can make.

[tricheboars]

do shine II's come with costar stabs?

[dante]

All Ducky are Cherry style stabilizers.  The Zero's are supposed to have improved Cherry style stabilizers.

[VesperSAINT]

Have you tried the new improved stabilizers, dante? Honestly, the ones on the Shine II feel fine IMO.

[Dreamre]

Wow! Very exciting!

[csloan1218]

I expect some kind of doubleshot caps on this

[The_Beast]

do shine II's come with costar stabs?

You don't want Costar and backlit. The wire tends to bind on the LED during typing.

It's really annoying and is the reason I don't have LEDs on my Costar stabilized poker

Makes sense why the Razer BWU donor keyboard had bent stabilizers wires. Still learning something new everyday

I have not personally tried them;  But several translated Chinese reviews have said that while they still feel like Cherry stabilizers they feel more uniform and not as heavy.

This was actually a huge issue in the Ducky Green board. Partially the reason I ended up selling it. Maybe they'll make Zero with Greens.

[rootwyrm]

Maybe they somehow figured out how to get backlighting to show through their Dyesub thick PBT caps

If only..

I'm not saying it is but I am going to say they've been teasing double-shot PBTs for backlit keyboards.

But wait: I thought Ducky was Costar-style wire stabilizers and not Cherry?

Oh, and maybe they'll fix the completely bat&*@#$ insane and moronic Fn layer layout from the DK9008G2. What complete and utter twit came up with that, anyway? Play/Pause at F4, Stop at F5, NEXT at F6 and PREV at F7. With FN on the right. The level of fail there is just inexcusable.

LOL on that Fn layout criticism. As much as I love Ducky, I'd have to agree with that. I tried using it a few times but then just decided to use the bloody mouse and never looked back.

[Grim Fandango]

Hmmm, I wonder what they will improve upon. I think the Ducky 2 was pretty great, though I am not a big fan of backlit keyboards. It is little more than a glowing distraction when in use, but it also looks kinda cool imo.

I agree. Originally I wanted one, however the Ducky I wanted was hard to get a hold of so I ended up getting a Filco. Never looked back! I convinced myself that the LEDs were a distraction...LOL

I'm with you guys. I never really cared for backlit keyboards but got mine mainly for the Clear switches. I guess it wasn't a total loss because the quality is amazing.. just spent a lil' more for those lights. They do bring alive my Artisan Skulls tho

[jabar]

Shine 3 cheaper than Shine 2 according to NCIX preorder.

what

Maybe this will be a downgrade from Shine 2... which would end up competing with the backlit Zero... What are they thinking? I'm so confused... I swear if this is better than a Shine 2... I just paid $150 for a Shine 2 a month ago............. But then again, I bought it for the rarer Clear switch.

[jabar]

2108S is the backlit Zero.

[csloan1218]

If this is the case I would have no problem flipping my shine 2 and getting the 3.

[VesperSAINT]

2108S is the backlit Zero.

Yeah, I know but why would hey introduce 2 backlit keyboards at the same time? I dunno, I guess they gonna be different enough.

[tp4tissue]

So, what ares the rumors.. programmability.. rgb led.. magic??

[Rayne]

yay more reasons to spend money!
Iv actually been thinking of buying a shine 2, guess i will just wait for this now

[csloan1218]

Thats what I think everyday since I found gh.

I just got my shine 2 and I dont regret it.

[babyhands]

why does the zero have better stabs than the shine II? its a cheaper board!

[Hyde]

why does the zero have better stabs than the shine II? its a cheaper board!

Because they gonna implement that on Shine III.  Shine II is about 8 months old now if I remember correctly.  While Ducky Zero and Shine III will be brand new.

[VesperSAINT]

The Zero is newer.

[Grim Fandango]

Programmable backlit keyboards with double shot PBT keycaps :/. I think most people's brain would fry.

Still want my Costar stabilizers tho

[Lunartuna]

I just bought 2 Ducky's in the last 3 months! Now I'll have to upgrade already!

Lol! A champion!

[CodsterTX]

When will this come out? I want to pull the trigger on a Shine 2. I'm still using rubber dome

[Spokoman]

I hope they release Clears with white LED TKL.

[Hour]

Exciting! Hopefully the purple backlight will be purple! 

[kelske]

Just do it, once you've got the shine II, you'll be hooked and want to buy another one anyway 

[Tempest790]

I'm mainly hoping on more switch choices again.  I'd love to see Green MX, White MX, and maybe even some variable keyboards.  Plus, with Rosewill coming out with a dual LED per switch keyboard (I think on the WASD and arrow keys), Ducky might be able to one up them and allow a keyboard that will have two color options.  Now that'd be cool.

[VesperSAINT]

OO multi-LED's... why didn't I think of that sooner. LOL!

Or true purple by combining a blue and red LED

[rowdy]

I'm wondering whether PCCG are allowing their stock of Shine IIs to deplete in anticipation of the Shine 3.  Items are gradually disappearing from their online store as they run out of stock.

[dante]

Ducky was a tease a few months back with a full board of MX Grays.

Will it be popular? No.

Will they sell the limited amount the make in short order? Yes.

[Lastpilot]

I'm guessing more LED options. Multi-color or programmable patterns? Maybe just more patterns...

[Squall]

I think they should add a backplate matching the led colour, it really enhances the backlighting as seen on the quickfire tk and the razer blackwidow ultimate. Like Tempest790 I'm quietly hoping they make it available with some rarer switches like the MX Green and White, would really love to own one of those too because I'm currently using Blues.

[TreeSc2]

When this comes out, ill never be able to get one because im having a hard enough time trying to get the ducky shine 2!!!!!

[rowdy]

PCCG are listing Ducky Shine Zero DK2108S with orange or blue LED and MX red/brown/black/blue.

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=113_1361

They are cheaper, around $110 compared to around $140 for the Shine II.

Available 21-Jun-2013.

The main differences appear to be non-detachable cable, and there is no mention of backlighting modes, so maybe it is either on or off.

PCCG is also currently listing only TK board, no TKL.

Edit: Sorry, that was probably more relevant here, but that thread was older.

[Lastpilot]

LOL is it just me or did they delete all the Shine III stuff from Facebook?

[VesperSAINT]

Seriously? LOL! I don't know if they're cancelling plans for the Shine 3 but I wouldn't be surprised if they do.
