There was an AHK script for HL2 that made only the space bar super-fast repeat, as when you jump while walking forwards you accelerate a bit, and if you can jump exactly as you land, the acceleration is cumulative. So you could end up bouncing along much faster than any vehicles. Cornering was a ***** though. Can't imagine what would happen if the whole keyboard had super-fast repeat though.

Any word on the Shine 3's availability? I really want that camo version, will be a perfect match to my Filco Camo

I'm forgetting where I read this, but somebody said the camo version was cancelled. ><

Photoelectric · « **Reply #203 on:** Sun, 14 July 2013, 15:45:19 »

I think the Camo version was a prototype for the limited edition Ducky, and now it's just going to be the aluminum case version for the Year of the Snake.

Aluminum case ducky has made me second guess my jump into korean customs. I'll be in Taipei during release week ^^

Umm... I'm getting nervous after just seeing something on the official Ducky Shine3 page -->

DIP Switch Functions:
Windows Key lockout
Ctrl and Capslock swap
Windows key and Alt swap
DEMO Mode

That last Dip switch function used to be reserved for switching N-Key rollover from N to 6 for maintaining compatibility with Macs. On the product page, it says NKRO and Mac Compatibility: Yes.

... ...

Am I missing something here??

Still no way of knowing whether there are two separate sets of brightness levels for background vs reactive, though.

On an unrelated note, to answer my own question about LED brightness from earlier in the thread (top of the page), the posted manual suggests that there are in fact going to be two sets of brightness controls -- one for the background ("unpressed") keys and a separate set for the reactive mode brightness. Yay.

I've never had a USB keyboard plug into a Mac and not be compatible. By default it can handle a lot more than 6 over USB anyway - that's a limitation of Windows keyboard manufacturers have to work around.

So I think I'm missing the point of this dip switch all together?

Dat Ripple Effect... and Fade effects....

OMG I can't wait for DKS3 TKL version.... That is going to be my next board.

Ducky is officially the leading edge in keyboards right now.

Just replace the space bar and you're good to go.

Don't feel that had - you have got yourself a nice keyboard

Also a lot of people don't like the snake space bar - keep an eye on classifieds as some might pop up there if people replace them.

... Then you've never had a USB keyboard with Unlimited NKRO without any way to switch it to 6KRO -- it's a well-known/-documented problem that OS X simply can't deal with Unlimited NKRO over USB. I experienced this first-hand with my Ducky 9008G2 (original G2, with just the topside Fn+F9/F10/F11 hotkeys as opposed to the physical dip switches on the bottom) -- had to sell it because it simply wouldn't work with my Mac desktop. Also, the manual that comes with the G2 Pro series (with Dip switches) specifically instructs the user to switch to 6KRO for Mac compatibility. I don't know what you're talking about with this being a Windows problem -- that's simply wrong.

Still hoping that one of the MK.com guys can weigh in on this since the YotS product pages currently claim Mac compatibility.

Well my MaxKeyboard Nighthawk supposedly has NKRO over USB and it never gave me problems on my Mac. My Keycool 84 is also listed as having NKRO over USB and has never given me problems on my Mac. Neither have dip switches for me to mess with, so I'm not quite sure what the difference is with Ducky...

Wondering this as well. I really want a backlit TKL, but it seems like all of the Shine 2 TKLs are out of stock.

The only alternative I've seen is the Keycool 87s, but I don't like the color options.

WASD V2 "Code" is another backlit TKL option. They're not out yet, but their site says July 2013. Unfortunately from what the site also says it's only available in MX Clear with white LED backlight. :/

Hyde · « **Reply #221 on:** Fri, 26 July 2013, 22:19:57 »

I think people complain too much about the spacebar so they decide to use the snake one as a permanent Shine 3 spacebar.

But even so it's still weird..... it's like it won't be year of the snake forever and I'd much prefer just having a line and nothing else. That and Ducky need to redesign their logo, it's quite ugly as is.

Yeah, I was kind of confused by the whole spacebar thing. I'd though the snake logo would only be available on the YOTS edition. Then, when I was at my fave local peripherals and games shop, I was surprised to see DS3's being sold, it had the snake logo on the spacebar. I dunno if the guy at the shop was misinformed or not, but he'd told me that there'd be three versions of the DS3. Priciest is the aluminum YOTS, 2nd would be a regular plastic case DS 3 YOTS version, it would share all the lighting features of the aluminum YOTS. Then there would be the vanilla DS3 which does not have all the lighting features of the other two, one being the running snake effect. Here in Asia, it's out already, and I've been told it the regular YOTS edition, plastic case with all the lighting features of the aluminum YOTS. Please bear in mind this is what I've been told, whether it has any modicum of truth is another matter, I think the guy had heard wrongly.....but, time will tell.

lazerpointer · « **Reply #225 on:** Mon, 29 July 2013, 11:59:05 »

Expect the TKL to be out a few months later.

That's what I'm gonna wait for... Unless someone knows if there will be a board with similar features that's TKL sooner than that?

No, but I'm definitely interested in a set of caps like these for mine. I emailed MK about getting them, but haven't received a reply yet (it was late last night). I found them on PCCG, but I don't know anyone in AU.

When I saw pics of the Shine II with those white key caps, I knew I'd just have to get one. Went for the Special Ed Cherry Blue with white caps and green back light......felt blue and red were too common. It's really beautiful, it's part of my reserve KBs......and yes, if there were a DS III with white caps, especially a TKL model, I'd bite......hard and fast! :D

It's the lighting, look at the key caps on the left, they're pure white.....I was casting a shadow over most of the KB when I took a pic of it. Yeah, the green lED was wonderful, actually wanted the usual blue though common, so when I was at the shop picking up the KB, I asked the salesguy to lit both up for me to see. The green LED won me over, wanted blue as my case had blue LED in it.....and I couldn't sleep due to this mismatch in LED. I didn't know I was so anal about this sort of thing.....finally threw my arms up in defeat and got a green LED strip and fan, changed the LED color of my case to this:

I was able to sleep much better after this....

Two different styles together (plus red and blue helping the distinction). Would have been better to stick with geometric designs for the spacebar and keep the Ducky logo on the OS caps.

The LED's can be adjusted to what ever colors you want in the space bar, I believe. So you can make them uniform colors.

To me it's like the Ducky logo is shrugging. Lol.

Edit;
If they don't release a TKL of this I am going to be livid...
