Shut up and take my money! I just got the K70 Black/Red MX Reds for Christmas, but I will be purchasing the RGB version and maybe in a different switch type just so I can have both.

Yes after watching the video you will be like "Wow those are Ducky Shine 3 LED features."  However I really love the build quality of this keyboard and the RGB version will shine just like the Ducky Shine 3.

I love this keybaord! My only hope is that they make one with programmable macro keys in the near future. Right now i'm using the corsair K95, and I love the 18 program bale G keys. They need to take the K95 and just add RGB lights to it. Perfect Keyboard.

This is actually much, much more versatile in terms of LED programming than the Shine 3. You can basically do anything you want with the LEDs in software.

Yeah that excites me! Can't wait to pre-order.

Also: Fuck yes! Doesn't make me regret my K70 though.
