Hello from England!
« on: Fri, 10 June 2016, 07:01:35 »
I thought I would post here seeing as I just joined.

Someone at work bought  POK3R keyboard the other week and now here I am with a Ducky Shine 5 and waiting to get my hands on some keycaps...

I ordered an Evil Silence keycap from massdrop and I can see this becoming fairly expensive!

I'm hoping to learn a lot from you guys  :D

Lots to learn here!  Best place to start would be: Recommended Reading

What switches do you have in your Shine 5?  Any mods planned?

I have Cherry MX Blues - we got a switch tester and I just loved the light, tactile feel.  I haven't even thought about mods..

Welcome to GeekHack!

Is it a ISO/UK or a ANSI Ducky Shine 5?


I'm livin in Sweden and we have the ISO/Nordic layout and it is a hell to find ISO/Nordic keycaps sets here.


Only 1 shop are sellin some ISO/Nordic keycaps sets here in Sweden.


I'm usin a ANSI Ducky One RGB YOTG with Cherry MX Blacks and also have a ISO/UK Ducky Shine 3 with Cherry MX Blues.


I have this ANSI/ISO UK Tai-Hao keycaps set from: http://www.mechsupply.co.uk/product/tai-hao-pbt-sunshine


The only problem with this set, is that is a 104 keys set.

Mmm blues! :thumb:

A bit tricky to lube since improper lubing can immediately kill (read: silence) the click. :'(

It's a ISO/UK ducky. I was going to get a shine 4 but I had a hard time finding an ISO one with blues.

Welcome to Geekhack!

What made you choose a Ducky (full size?) over a Pok3r?

Both are great keyboards, anyway.

Pffft recommended reading - have read of this thread, especially if you are worried about spending too much money on your new hobby.

"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
