Mechanical Keyboard Club!

Dave :)

That's why I'm getting the 69 Fire Edition, I have the 78Version and love it...I'm into collecting limited edition Ducky keyboards.

Don't mind me~

*cough*

PS. I'm also getting one of those keyboards :)

I just bought the Logitech g710+ on sale for about 100 usd. Cherry mx browns and decent back lighting. I would consider this keyboard a solid buy at $100 and a bit overpriced at its standard $150, especially when considering how cherry browns have become much more available over the last two years.

Really nice deal there! :D

Did anyone get, or is anyone getting, the Ducky Shine 4 69 Fire Edition :wub: ? It's an interesting board like this that sucks me right back to the keyboard fold.... :wacko:

Saw this on their facebook page, Liked, and moved on. For some reason I just don't feel any interest in this board at all....

Oh man, cherry mx green for your letters and numbers, then black switches for

your modifiers, now that would be a sweet keyboard. 

 

While different keys for different parts of the keyboard is awesome. The ducky fire

edition just looks like a senseless mess to me.. including practically every cherry mx

key for the heck of it.

I see it as a large Cherry sample board! Along with having some awesome-looking dual LED's.

Red/Blue, Red/Green, Green/Blue.

 

The base they are using for the keyboard will be a Shine 4, so it only makes sense. And this is what they have said on their facebook.

The Ducky 69 edition keyboard Fire version keyboard that based on Shine 4 model. In addition, the Ducky 69 edition equipped Dual LEDs. However, it's more colourful and combination by using different colour LEDs.

 

This picture was also shown along that quote. (Blurry cause they are a big tease :c)

They are basically using the Shine 4 and this board as a stepping stone towards RGB lightning, is how I see it.

That keyboard is such a mess, not for me.

pretty unique i guess :P. Haha, cherry

sample board is exactly what it is.

I had to get one eventually just to see if there is any truth to all of the Topre hype.

If they were programmable I'd still be using them.

The HHKB acually has upgradable firmware so you have a change maybe. The others idk... Some one has modded a teensy into a HHKB before too, if only they would have used that bluetooth version!

Ducky PBT keycaps arrived today for my Ducky Shine 3, they're great, the feel really nice, not how I expected them to which was surprising.

I love the look of them though, especially in the reasctive typing mode.

I'll be getting some double shot ABS ones too and having a little comparrison.

About to buy my first mech kb. But cant make mind up between the Ducky Shine 4 or the Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate, both with MX Browns. I know the differences between them, but I just can't pick.\

Help?

@Evil-Erthanu

As you mention they're are completely different keyboard.

Personally I think the Das looks so nice and simple. The Ducky is a bit more shiny and flashy, don't get me wrong I'm a huge Ducky fan but I'm not so sure about the Shine 4 though.

I ended up ordering the Ducky, only because of the back-lighting really. Is the Ducky Shine 4 quite new? Because I wasn't able to find very many proper reviews, but I couldn't find ANY Shine 3's in stock at any domestic retailers at all. I was really tempted to get the Das, especially after watching Barnacules' review of it, but I guess i really am a sucker for pretty lights :P

Ordered a CM Storm quickfire TK(lovely form factor for my desk that needs a bit extra mouse movement room for this low sensitivity player. :D )Can't wait to compare these MX blues directly to my friend's Razer greens. :)
