Hello all, and thanks
« on: Sun, 21 December 2014, 16:14:54 »
Hello everyone, I'm from Canada and came across this forum after doing a lot of research on mechanical keyboards and which one to buy. I been using a Logitech G11 for probably 8 or 9 years now, but I'm getting more serious into playing CS:GO and decided it was time to look at mechanical keyboards. After hours and hours or research, reviews, YouTube videos, browsing the forum. Trying to decide between all the different switch and then look into if I should get a full keyboard or a TKL, I finally ordered a keyboard on ncix.ca yesterday.

I'm getting a Ducky Shine 3 TKL with white LED. I wanted a blue LED but looks like they're pretty popular and don't stay in stock for long. I'm sure I will still be happy with it and maybe even more then the blue :P

Well thanks for all your help!!!!

Thanks, I don't think I will do any mod to it. Well not at first anyway. If I do mod it I would probably do something classy and turn it into pinguin style with some white key caps

Replacing some of the keys with white ones. I will try to post a pic later. I saw a pic in this forum but I'm at work right now and most pics are blocked.

Well I could not see the image when I posted and I guess I made a mistak the white penguin keyboard is not for me.

Welcome to Geekhack!

White LEDs are good - they go with almost anything.

Plus you can change their colour with little plastic inserts, including blue ones: http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/item/keyboard-accessory/led-cover-for-modification/lid=37668704
"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
