Help buying key caps for ducky shine 3
« on: Fri, 20 January 2017, 11:37:51 »
Ok sorry if I am not posting in the right area but my Ducky shine 3 has almost no keys left that are able to light up anymore. So now the keys are getting hard to see at night time since they have see through keycaps. Where can I buy normal keycaps for a tkl duckyshine 3 cherry mx blue? Sorry I really dont know much about keyboards or key caps but I'm afraid of buying the wrong keycaps as I noticed a whole set of them is pretty expensive. I just want keycaps that have white letters on the top and arent see through so I can see them easier. Thank you so much for any help.

If you just want a set of keycaps these are cheap http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cherrymxkeys&pid=dmx_us104_blk_tw

Otherwise there aren't many sets currently available with white letters.

One alternative is finding an old cherry double shot white on black set for sale either in the classifieds or on ebay.

Ok thank you much for the help. Those should work great. Im looking to maybe find some nice colored key caps now with bright letters either blue or white for under $50 but seems impossible >< Does anyone maybe have a link to ones that would fit my keyboard? I just dont want keycaps with grey or black letters that are hard to see at night time =/ Thanks so much for the help

Oh actually i found these in the link u sent me when i looked at more of their keycaps. would these fit my keyboard?

Ok so does anyone know if that elitekeyboards site is legit? I ordered the keycaps about a week ago and they took my payment right away so i recieved an email stating i would receive another email within 1-2 days verifying that they have been shipped. Its been a week now and still nothing. I tried calling "customer support" and emailing them to no avail. Just get an answering machine  :(

I'm guessing you missed the "Important Notice" on the right hand side of the website when viewing products.

Delayed Shipping Schedule
SHIPPING DELAY: Shipping of ALL orders placed January 20th-31st will be delayed until February 1st. We're sorry for this inconvenience. Orders can still be placed and customer support by email is still available during this time.

I'm not sure why EK wouldn't respond but it definitely explains why your order hasn't shipped.

It's Chinese new year.  NO ONE is shipping from China or Taiwan.  Chinese new year is bigger than our Christmas and Thanksgiving *COMBINED*.
