Awaiting the Ducky Mini, then I'd heard that the KBParadise V60 Dual LED would be available sometime in June, or early July.......looks like I'd be getting one as well. I'd asked for a Red/Blue LED version with White/Milk switch.....so looking forward to getting it.  Looks like two more 60% KB's would soon be added to my collection....

What's a 60% keyboard? Is it a form factor smaller than a tenkeyless, or just another name for it?

I wonder how people get used to the mini. I have a hard enough time grasping TKL keyboards. With the mini you lose out on the F keys. Are the f keys keybound to something like a FN+1 type combination? I understand a little more about TKL the new fab recently with mech keyboards the fact that it is more ergonomic I had thought about that. I normally don't use my right hand to use the mouse while typing anyway I usually do one or the other.

Just got back from work with my new KBT Pure Pro 

 

 

Cherry MX Brown switches, purple backlight, also have some o-rings that i'll probably install at the weekend. Tried the red keycaps in the pic, decided i didn't like 'em (they were slightly raised and the font doesn't match  ) only issue i've had so far is the backspace - I keep missing it and hitting delete instead, i'll adjust with a few hours of use.

 

Otherwise i'm definitely a fan of this board  :wub:

Yeah I will probably get a Ducky Mini as well, but KBParadise will be coming out with the V60 MTS (matias switches) after they release the V60.  I am for sure going to get the V60 MTS.

Really? I've not tried a Matias keyboard before, though I've tried regular Green ALPS......interesting news about the Matias switch. A 2nd KBParadise KB may be on the horizon for me as well. Dang, really ought to stop this habit of buying keyboards!

Ah, another happy owner of a KBT Pure Pro.......I had gotten a Race 2 and a Pure Pro a while back, excellent keyboards with great build quality as well.

Thanks for that

 

I feel like 60% boards would be missing too many of the keys for it to be practical, unless the person on the previous page was correct in saying that they're rebound with a function key.

The person on the previous page is correct.

KBDParadise will also be making a TKL sometime in the future.  The V80 .

 

 

The US version should have the standard 1.25 bottom row mod layout.

Yep.  I saw that a few minutes ago.

[Kommandant33]

Well I might as well join in on the Mechanical wang dance.

 

My first mech, a Ducky Shine II, blue back lighting and cherry brown switches. And a few random keycaps for shits and giggles.

 

 

And my current keyboard, a KBT Pure Pro 60%. Blue LED lighting and cherry blue switches.

 

 

And I bought a Ducky Shine III Yellow edition, with Cherry blue switches on special. It has blank keycaps, but I will be replacing them with either blank black keycaps, OR if I can find the right yellow, black keycaps with YELLOW text on them. That would look the absolute TITS.

I'll just leave these here for ya. There is a 10key set on the site also to round out the keyboard.

Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but I think it would look pretty cool.

[CommonCurt]

Here is the keypad caps to go with the bumblebee set.

Awesome - Only problem would be if the yellows we slightly different, it could look horrible.. 

[alexleov]

Ducky reveals one of the Ducky mini's lighting modes

Odd USB cable placement.

Do you think they are using cherry MX rgb but with just red blue LEDs in. Not sure if cherry MX switch's have 2 holes for the led legs.

Personally I think even if it wasn't a color code match it would still look good.

I don't think they're using MX RGB, I think they are using dual LEDs in there.

Am I seeing brushed aluminium finish, or real aluminium??
