Are there any updates guys? (Remember Greens Switches 
)
)Dont think youll be seeing green switches. The Ducky page advertises the Shine 3's selling with the main four. The UK distributor show the stock they (will) have and it is also the main four.
Hope isnt lost though, the YOTS (US) had two green cherrys pop up and the store is doing a giveaway for them. Just dont expect them anytime soon I guess.

the demand for green is simply not high enough
i reckon if more brands start adopting Greens as a standard offering then it will maybe become an offering from our more specialist brands such as ducky and qpad but i cannot see it happening any time soon.
I am working with another brand at the moment [early days] and their stance is that they will not be making green boards available either.
you have to also remember that the only place that uses UK layout, is the UK.
this means that if demand is low, then it is further diluted by region.
so if a company do a green board in germany, they may not make it a UK offering as it involves a distributor committing to large qty.
i believe CM storm were considering a green switch offering
my personal feeling is that a green is only a slightly stiffer version of an MX blue.
it was designed for space bars which i kind of understand after using mx blue boards, but i feel that blues are good for typing on and making them stiffer would make it similar to black switches in the way that they would rebound quick [great for gaming and response] but they would get tiresome to type on [needing more actuation force]
a cherry green needs 80g of actuation force. with blacks [previously the stiffest MX switch] needing only 60g. this is a big difference. in fact, almost twice the force required for the more typing orientated red & brown switches.
as i am typing this out now on my mx red board, i am imagining pressing the keys twice as hard to activate them. that would be horrendous.
just my 2p but lets see how the market pans out.
as soon as there is greens available from a reputable/established manufacturer, then we will have a board with that feature in stock.

no as the stock is still not here
however, we may have the only YOTS in the UK on display.
I hope you will have 8pack guarding it
the Shine III will be shipping with a few different space bars for you to customise your board
I absolutely love it but there will be another key cap which is plain on top.
Heres a pic of it.
