Ducky Shine 3 vs Ducky Shine 4
« on: Wed, 31 December 2014, 12:17:30 »
Hello,

First of all i would like to say that this is my first post and i am happy to be part of this great community. I been lurking this community for months and felt it was time for me to make an account.

My question is;

Is there a huge difference between ducky shine 3 and ducky shine 4 other than the led color combination? Is the quality the same? Is there any new advantage or its the same keyboard with different logo/color?

Reason i am asking is because i am on a tight budget and saw that the DS3 with green LED is currently on sale @ 119$ while the DS4 will be 159$ where i buy it.

I am wondering if i should save 50$(due to 40$ saving + 10$shipping on the ds4) or there is something great bout the DS4 that would worth the 50$ extra. I do not mind spending more, just want to make sure its actually worth it.

Thanks guys for the help and i wish every one Happy Holidays and please be safe on the road.

I like the classic minimalist look of the Ducky Shine 3 case. I think the Shine 4 looks too much like a Razer keyboard or something.

Thanks for the answer. Can you tilt the DS3? I see you can with DS4 but did not notice any way to tilt the DS3

There should be feet on the bottom of the keyboard.

So to conclude, they both the same keyboard but only difference is the LED colors combination + Logo right? If so, i will purchase DS3.

They also have different modes I believe.

And there could be a slight difference in the stabilizers used.

You also might want to have a look at the KBParadise keyboards too.

DS3 has cherry stabs.
Lights up with the RGB lights under my space bar, I also have like 9 different lighting modes I think.
Don't use any of them since it gets annoying having a bright, blue flashing object in your room when typing.

If by that you mean that you'll be set until 2015 comes, then that's pretty accurate.

I have a feeling that you'll be eyeing another keyboard sooner than you may think.

Keyboards are an addiction. I am sure, you'll have another board soon  :)).
