Well I fell down the custom keyboard world.

Thank you! I had a good read last night to try and get myself back up to speed and see if there would be anything else out there that might appeal. I do love the reds and like the idea of the silent ones.

My Shine 3 is still perfect, no worn caps or dodgy LED's, I just wouldn't mind something new!

I'll have another look around tonight.

I think I must have got a bad one. In truth, stripping it down and re-soldering is only relevant if ot is out of your warranty/return period.

I also bought a high spec Keychron Q6 Max and had issues with it, and have recently returned it for a refund. That was a £240 keyboard!

Maybe I'm just unlucky with keyboards!

So high price for me hasn't resulted in a hassle free experience. I've got a Monsgeek M1 V5 on the way with a few sets of different switches and I've ordered a couple of sets of different keycaps too.

I think the Ducky Shine 3 uses OEM profile keycaps. A lot of boards now use Cherry profile, so again this is something for you to consider.

As with many things, personal preference is at the forefront. A silent linear switch might be your go to for typing but others may prefer the tactile or clicky feedback of a different type of switch.
