So I'm sitting there,
I need about 300 quid of PC parts to finish my PC,
Been saving for ages, also for a holiday.
Then today Ducky shine 3 pops up for 99....so I buy....hardly thinking really, almost in a trance....
I'm not gonna regret this am I?

Don't worry about it!

Nah you won't!

And as for your partner, just illustrate those handsome backlightning modes and how much better you'll type in the dark with it

and it'll all be fine

Turns out my Bro might want to buy my current KB, that'll offset some of the cost, I'm sure I can completely justify this....probably

If your partner is into kbs as well then it doesnt matter lol

When I found fellow GHer selling cleaned and ANSI-modded AT Model F, I bought it almost immediatelly. Sigh...

I wonder what your partner would do if you spent $70 on one key like I just did.

Skull_Angel · « **Reply #11 on:** Mon, 19 May 2014, 10:50:40 »

Buy her one too! That's what I did and she loves it

Beat him/her with keyboard (70$ key installed) to death?

Wait till you spend $300 on a key.

Ah, don't deny it. Used to be that $70 on a key is not something you will do but you just did. So what's $100.. And what's $200 and $300 then?

C5Allroad · « **Reply #16 on:** Mon, 19 May 2014, 12:04:10 »

It's easy to justify the money for a shine! I love mine lol.

Eric5676 · « **Reply #17 on:** Mon, 19 May 2014, 12:20:18 »

I'm considering a Shine 3 myself. What finally put you guys over the edge for it?

epzy · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 19 May 2014, 12:40:35 »

UK versions of the Shine 3 will drop by £40. Source: Their Facebook page.

Because it's all about the keyboard

JaccoW · « **Reply #26 on:** Tue, 20 May 2014, 01:41:52 »

My girlfriend asked me how expensive my Orion TKL was. I told her I didn't know exactly, something like €200+...
Turns out I already spent that on the old keyboards I used for parts. That board is approaching €600 already.
So it can always get worse.

And I still want to try Topre

Because I wanted people to discuss the ducky and reassure me of my purchase

Also @epzy that's the discount that pushed me over to buying it

It's here now....in the box....
can I hold off till I go home before opening it ?!!?

Nope, you can't, and it's a fact
