For the price point, I would be willing to fork over $10 more for a Ducky or any other board really. This board is brand new and out side of the gaming community I don't think many people will be looking for a board like this. I would not mind testing out the switch but I think that I would be indifferent and stick with my DS3 with blues instead of Razer's green switches where I can't customize my keycaps to PBT.

It depends really. Do you want a keyboard that has more flashy light effects while typing/gaming? Or do you want a quality board that is pretty much back lit with some features? If it's the first and you feel like forking over more money, go for the Shine 3. Otherwise if you just want a quality board with some back light features besides on/off then go with the Shine 2. Either way I would probably replace the ABS key caps in the long run with PBTs.

Just ordered the Ducky Shine 3 DK9008 Tuhaojin, I know it's a bit overpriced but I'm really excited about this one.
 
Pictures will come as soon as I get it! 
 
Edit: Ahh yeah, if anyone's interested I got it in an ISO layout with Cherry MX Brown and White LEDs.

i will confirm whether its true on saturday. i work at gamestop, if it shows up ill let you guys know.

Yep! I sometimes lay in bed ~6 feet away, friends still hear me, though obviously I need to speak up a bit.
 
 
 
They're different, but which is "better" is a matter of personal preference. My personal preference will sway towards the audio-techinca for build quality reasons, but I think the AKG sounds better.
 
 
 
The Snowball sounds slightly better, no doubt about it, but it's bigger and more expensive. ($10 can buy you a nice lunch in some places). The snowflake is more than sufficient for VoIP, but I wouldn't want to record a professional video with it.
