People have keyboards with all white keycaps.

People have keyboards with all black keycaps.

People have keyboards with all blue keycaps.

OH YOU BEACH. We gon' have this battle on here?! LOL! (Sorry, inside joke, guys).

Your Pikachu actually fits the theme. Your victory this time.

[rowdy]

Very victory.

My order awaits.

Joy.

I looooove yellow (I own a yellow edition Filco) I may... have to buy my first ducky.

I looooove yellow (I own a yellow edition Filco) I may... have to buy my first ducky.

It took me a long time, and two failed attempts, but I managed to get a set of Filco yellow keycaps too!

They are slightly orangey yellow, which is fine by me.

I eventually removed them as they were beginning to shine.

Now I have BumbleBee set from KeyPop on that keyboard.

Epic! like neon art

Recently noticed a partner store in Taiwan listed the full sized yellow edition keyboard, among the black, brown, blue and red switches available, there are also limited boards with MX Cherry White (they were referred to as milk axis on the website, and I have also confirmed this with Ducky support).

Currently in a market for a mechanical keyboard. I briefly tried the various switches at the store, but being the novice I didn't try each switch slowly (didn't take notice of the difference between linear/tactile/clicky). Primary use would be gaming (FPS/MOBA/RTS).

My initial thoughts were that Browns felt too easy to press (coming from using rubber dome keyboard), and although the Blacks felt nice, my main concern is that my fingers will get sore/tired after extended use.

Now that I've also come across MX Cherry White (though I think I would of preferred Clears without having tried them, only judging by actuation force) while browsing keyboards online, but I can't imagine how much of distraction it will be (due to it being clicky, but I've heard it may not be as loud as Blue/Green switches).

I plan to visit the store and try the switches again before I make a decision, but I would like to hear from others that share similar thoughts/experiences.

Try red? They are lighter than browns. Or you could mod it yourself for lighter keypresses

[dante]

I like Milk switches but I'd advise MK to check each keyboard before they are sent out as they seem to have large numbers that fail to produce a click.

[CrazyWu]

Try red? They are lighter than browns. Or you could mod it yourself for lighter keypresses

My only worry is that I would bottom out - I'm not exactly light with my fingers (I would say I use moderate force). Would using O-Ring mod to cushion the impact be a viable option?

If you use too much force, try to correct it rather than mitigate the effects. It would probably be better to get Clears, Greens, or Blacks to help.

They would cushion the impact, but would also stop the downward motion slightly sooner, so your fingers would be exerting pressure to push the key down after it already stopped.

The trick is to learn to type without bottoming out, although I've been trying for years and still haven't.

I have fairly strong fingers, and blues and reds are too light for me, so I tend to switch between blacks and greens at work and between Topre and BS at home.

The switches feel just right, I don't bottom out too hard, and don't have any finger discomfort.

Thanks for the replies. Still waiting on the TKL version to be released here, can hardly wait!

On another note yellow PBT key caps are being sold separately as well, but the store is only taking pre-orders at this stage.

Maybe you guys should order this mouse to go with it LOL.

...and a bunch of Ducky keyboards with  ...and more on their FB page.

Plus maybe even this...

I wonder who will be the first Geekhacker to buy and post a pic here.....

I would love to be in that position.  Unfortunately IF the keyboard is available in Australia and IF I can afford it, it will probably be months after everyone else has theirs

It's good to see you plan on getting one though Unlike me... I don't think I will, as much I like it.

I'd like to - yes I really do like yellow

The only thing that puts me off is the lack of, say, black legends.  A lot of my typing tends to be a few characters here, a few characters there, and I tend to glance at the keyboard to hit the right few characters.  It is rare that I actually type for an extended period.

This is based on someone's comment that the keycaps are engraved, but watching the video again are they the usual Ducky backlight-friendly transparent legend keycaps?

Also I wonder whether those yellow keycaps themselves will be available separately?

Rowdy... you have no excuse anymore... other than money... bc your problem has been solved...bc this just came up:

I MUST SEE THESE ON THAT DUCKY.

Seriously it is yellow overload. I somewhat like it though..nonetheless.

It looks like a banana. I wanna eat it, not type with it.

If that were the case they better also offer the keyboard with MX red, or even brown. :))

Love the description - "yellow duckling key PBT keycaps"

Thanks!

It's probably to commemorate the giant rubber duck that has been touring the country, although there's no official word or mention from Ducky regarding this matter.

Not sure why they would want to commemorate a duck, as large and yellow as it might be.  To show solidarity or sympathy with whatever the first dusk represents, perhaps.

Also the "yellow duckling" was the Google translate - this might not be 100% what was intended.

Probably more along the lines of admiration than anything else.

There's also the logo of a yellow duck in the shape of the letter "S" (to stand for Shine perhaps) next to the Ducky branding on the box.

Depending on the availability of yellow PBT key caps, I may just get a regular TKL Shine 3 - yellow on black looks pretty nice.

Just found out NCIX.ca have this yellow edition ducky, they also have it in MX White switch. 

It's on back order now, gonna place an order and wait patiently.

Yeah someone posted about that.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Seems like milk's usually end up being clears but it'd be nice to see one come with whites.

You're prolly right, I've been told by the local distributer of Ducky that it's MX Clear, needless to say< i have one reserved. IF it were available in the usual MX Red/Black?Brown/Blue, I'd have a hard time justifying the purchase, but since it's Clear, I'm all over it like a bad rash.

[CrazyWu]

After inquiring about TKL yellow edition since the full sized became available in Taiwan, it seems the 80% boarda are extremely scarce. There are apparently only 2 TKL boards with English key caps in Taiwan, Ducky rep said he would save me one (with Zhuyin) if only they weren't all spoken for.

Wasn't exactly expecting to jump through hoops for my first mechanical keyboard.

Was just informed that stock of the all Yellow Ducky is in, and the MX Clear version I want is also in. Since it already night here, I'll be scooting off to the mall tomorrow to grab mine....anyone else getting theirs soon?

[genkidama]

Make some nice photos please of how it looks and how it looks underneath the keycaps. Just giv picz plz Would be more interesting to have it from a member than press photos.

Good night

There is no MX Clear version. Only MX White.

So the board actually comes with the clicky mx white switches? Interesting.

Seems like white's and clears get confused a lot with ducky boards.

[laffindude]

Because clears are called white in Taiwan/China, and white is called milk.

[SpAmRaY]

Because clears are called white in Taiwan/China, and white is called milk.

So for those of us not in Taiwan/China which switches will these have??

[laffindude]

Milk

Edit, I kinda missed what you mean. It is 2AM ;o
But ya, outside of Taiwan you would call it white.

[rowdy]

I ordered blacks.  It seemed a nice contrast with the yellow, plus I like blacks!

Pretty sure they are clears. The past couple times they called it "white", they were clears. I don't remember ever seeing a Ducky keyboard with clicky white switches yet. Of course, I could be wrong and they tried something new this time around, which would be cool too!

The only time I've ever seen a Ducky with White is on my 78 Version, there was DK9008G2 Pro with blue and grey key caps that was referred to as White, but it was Clear as well. I tested it personally, it was tactile, but lacking that subtle click which the White on my 78 Version made. I will know for sure in a few hours, working now but waiting for the shop to open at about 12+ noon.

NCIX listed it as MX Milk, but I suspect that they had believed Ducky's reference to it being White....so they called it MX Milk. Either that, or the all yellow Ducky has both Clear and White versions.....which I find unlikely. The local distributor of Ducky is pretty adamant that it is Clear.

[terrpn]

why is it that only NCIX is carrying the white/clears in this model and not mechanicalkeyboards or tiger?

be pretty nice if they were whites, but i agree-- never seen whites this model, etc. ducky?

typing on a 9008g2/pro with clears now and they are very nice

Was at the shop just now, collected my MX Clear version....took a pic while I was there.

Clear switches would be good I guess...but I'd really like to see a full-white switch one...umm wondering what they feel like.
