YES THIS REVIEW.  I Honestly cannot live without keycap modifications and all that x-x.  Think my keyboard addiction is too far along to save me from it, though x_x  One blue board, two mx green boards, Mx clear board and a brown board and must mod more *_*

As always nice informative video Luke, now I know how to deal with the space-bar as that scares me in changing it out the most, now I know what to do and I just need to try to find white back lit key caps for my Ducky Shine 2 some time.

Cry Havoc!

Yes, but it will be late. We want to make sure everyone sees this beauty before we release another one.

Watch for it at 5 or 6am PDT tomorrow morning.
