** DUCKY SHINE 3 AUGUST DEALS **
- Thread starter rjk
- Start date
Could you confirm what keycaps you will have coming? I remember people were asking about these constantly and you cancelled all pre-orders for the key cap sets a little while ago. If you confirm what you have coming it will help a lot of us out as there is high interest in the key caps.
Also, I have a full size shine 3 with browns and magenta LED. If anyone out there wants it, I would prefer the TKL version. I'd be happy to work something out with someone so they get a cheap full size shine 3 and I get a TKL

Damn im tempted, just bought some led colour changers, would look great on one of these. And my birthday coming up so i could justify it.
Will the full, brown switch, blue led be in stock soon do you know? Also are the OCUK escape keycaps going to be instock any time soon?

Nice work so ill share my creation
Shine 3 MX Greens with Yellow and White PBT keycaps
LOVE IT! Are those Blue LED's or White? Makes the White keycaps looks blueish!
My boards are a Zero and a Shine 3 Special so my LED's are Yellow (on a red backboard - you can see) but my Zero has no Backlighting... My Zero keys (Black) on the Shine 3 really ruin the backlighting so I need to buy a keycap set... I had pre-ordered the White but they went EOL before I could get them
I mainly went the combi route so I'm wearing out my Zero keys before the Yellow Specials.
Trying to figure out which keys would looks ok on a Yellow base with Yellow backlighting... Most of my build is White/Red/Black (ROG) but my Mouse is a Roccat Kone Pure in Blue so maybe Blue keycaps would go best? Any ideas guys?
Rich can confirm when the website is showing the updated/delivered keycap stock so I know what my options are please?

The back light is white it looks more blue in the image than in real life.
With regards to the keycaps set OCUK have all the current range set up, which are the PBT engraved/blank sets.
The ABS backlit set are no longer produced so the Grey/Purple and Pink models on sale are the only colours currently available.
The coloured keycap sets are normally released along with the keyboards so If we release a green keyboard you will see green keycap sets.
Could someone help me in my moment of potentially being totally dumb.
The keycap sets.... What keycaps come as standard on the shine3? I am looking at the stock on OcUK and I want to replace my keys with the same type that come on the Shine3, as in, I want the backlight LED to light up the characters on the keys.
Laser Etched - these will not allow LED to shine through the character on the key?
Engraved - as above?
Blank - Are these blank as in, totally blank or are these the one's I want which allow LEd to light through the character on the keys?
I am feeling totally stupid right now.... Thanks.

Yup, guess we gotta look elsewhere
Edit: Not many of the Ducky listed Partners (apart from OcUK) stock many of the keycap sets... The ones that do have the same ones in stock as OcUK!
Guess I'm back waiting for Ducky again, fingers crossed they'll see the demand and produce more keycaps for the Shine II rather than making them EOL (like they did with all the white PBT's on back-order here)

Does anyone have any pictures of the laser engraved keys on a backlit board? Does it look stupid and remove decent functionality?
I am thinking about getting a green backlit TKL shine 3 and putting the laser engraved cream cheese set on it, but I do actually like and make use of LED so if it's going to look stupid and annoy me I will not bother.

Yeah sorry, I did search, a lot actually. But just wasn't ever 100% on the exact keysets being used so thought worth asking. The majority of examples I see do look silly but I think the majority of cases people are turning the LED's to their brightest which makes it even worse.
I think I am trying to persuade myself onto something that will never impress me and will annoy me as much as I don't want it to.
