I just realized there wasn't a thread dedicated to this so I thought I'd fix that. Perhaps some people have missed it. So Ducky came out with their 60% board called the
Ducky Mini. It has the most *adorable* little duckling as it's logo! I think the case is an aluminum - plastic - aluminum sandwich. And it's got the fun lighting modes.
Each year Ducky comes out with a Year of the XX board. Typically it's been a special edition Shine full size board. But this year, there's a change and they're going with the Year of the Horse being a Ducky Mini! It's got a full aluminum CNC case. Mechanicalkeyboards.com is taking preorders now.
It seems that much of the information about this board has been put into the
MK.com requests thread and on the Ducky keyboard Facebook page.

I love full aluminum cases. I love the lighting modes (that reactive mode?!). I like the form factor. I was seriously impressed with the Ducky build quality when I modded a Ducky board for a friend. All in all, I think I'm going to be very happy with this board. Hopefully some other people are going to be into it too

Oh and it has the ability to have purple backlighting!!!!
