Haha point taken Kaku lol. I do need a new keyboard and i am gonna order one today mate, but as yet I just can't decide. Just ordered a 500gb SSD Crucial

Desperately want one of the white keyboards with blue switches. Any idea when they'll be back in stock?
I love my Zero as I'm not bothered in the slightest by backlighting - to be honest if you're using a keyboard and require backlighting not only are you (1) a non-touch typing noob but also (2) using your PC in poor ambient lighting, probably giving yourself headaches and ruining your eyesight (not to mention poor KPM).
Cherry-MX switches are expensive, Ducky (and others) have to purchase the switches or pay a royalty for producing and using them to Cherry. This makes every keyboard using Cherry-MX branded/designed switches inherently more expensive than cheaper brands... It's like driving a Merc/BMW/Audi over a Kia/Fiat...!
'Budget' and 'Mechanical' don't really go together... There are other brands of switches, but until these are more common and premium I doubt the Cherry switches will drop in price (and therefore Mech boards using them).

Hi Guys
Just to update you on these White keycap sets they weren't a new product they were released nearly two years ago.
They were designed for the Shine 2 and so the legends were different than Shine 3 sets, so unfortunately HQ decided not to produce any more.
OCUK were not aware of this, as we were expecting more stock to come to the UK but this wont be happening now.
Sorry to disappoint anybody who ordered these.
