 Now please, Ducky, announce a Zero Shine TKL with MX Clears!  Or a TKL with PBT caps.

About time!

Hopefully we can get these in Australia, as almost nowhere sells QFR any more, and there aren't really any cheap quality TKL keyboards around.

A Ducky Zero Shine TKL would be ideal.

One with yellow backlighting and MX reds would be perfect! :)
"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

Seems Ducky Zero Shine TKL is the most desired Ducky product of recent :P MK.com just announced on their facebook that their current stock of Shine II's are their "end of life," and that they will no longer be receiving anymore. I guess we now await on more information for the Shine III and Zero Shine TKL.

Hehehe. A lot of people only go for Costar built keyboards such as QFR and Filco's (Taiwan), which I can understand but I don't know why they'd disregard the Ducky's (China). Ducky's are awesome and and these will provide more features than the QFR's while also providing the same quality build and feel as Filco. I think these will definitely be awesome choice after we've got some reviews in from users here :)

The only thing that can "kill" QFR is $50 shipped on AMAZON. This is "not" that...  :p

For me atleast, I much prefer cherry stabilizers and I've been wanting something cheap TKL for a while.

LOL, Ducky is no QFR killer. Especially as far as resale value goes. I mean, sure, if you want backlighting, Ducky is where it's at. But don't expect to resell that thing.

I might be interested in one with clears if the price is right. Never owned a ducky before. Or a board with plate mounted cherry stabilizers for that matter.

Resale is iffy on ANY keyboard.  I've seen people struggle to unload perfectly good Filco's at reasonable prices so it's really a matter of supply/demand.

You call that struggle? Two weeks?

TJ STILL hasn't sold his YotD. No, Filcos have no struggle in comparison.

He should have tried eBay and it would have been sold already.

Aren't the full size $99 on Newegg. So I would hope this would be sub 100 or am I crazy.

I don't see TKL Shines being significantly cheaper than full sized ones.  So perhaps there won't be much of a difference in price here too.

MechanicalKeyboards is selling the 108 Zero on Newegg; and it looks like they increased the prices slightly perhaps due to compensate for vendors costs.

That being said, if you compare the costs of the ABS 9087 and 9008 it is about a $6 difference (depending on switches).

So if the Zero 108 MX is around $80 I'd say the Zero 87 might be $75ish depending on switch type?

FWIW PCCG lists Zero as $79 or $85 (depending on switch) and Zero Shine as $109 or $115.  Both TK.
