If u juz changing the keycaps it can be called customization. To me modification is more to hardware related which u alter or changing the system configuration itself especially board...

bro, i've got a question, the ducky shine comes with 4 shortcut keys for mail, my computer etc, is it possible to change this? whenever i press the mail key, windows mail comes out.... i use gmail... so the key is useless to me, is there a way to change it so that it display my gmail when i press it?

That is windows default execution for mail I guess. I dont think the keyboard can store any information regardless which key need to lauch certain program. U need to configure ur self inside the windows unless ur keyboard come wif a software that u can set each keys..

i dont think ducky keyboards has a software for that... cry.gif

just a question, for the keycaps, whats laser etched and laser engraved (my kb is a ducky shine, will etched or engraved keycaps shine). and whats a rubber o ring sound dampeners ( is it installed on the keycaps itself?)

checking out wasdkeyboards.com, anyone bought from them before?

all my keycaps from them, my green and orange

1. laser etched is paint top
2. laser engraved is sink in ones, like carved
3. dampeners reduce the sound from bottoming out when typing

1 more question, etched and engraved keycaps also works with ducky shine? or need some special keycaps for it to shine through

Laser etch and engraved is the same technique(?)
Paint top is due to infill, like ducky normal keycaps.
CODE
etch·ing/ˈeCHiNG/
Noun:

   A print produced by the process of etching.
   The art or process of producing etched plates or objects.

Synonyms:
engraving

Surface does not matter, what matters is the mounting.
As long as it fits cherry mx, it's fine

I mean, will the led shine through the etched and engraved keycaps

no... the printing method do not define whether the light will shine through or not..

It's whether the keycap is made to be translucent or not

oh gg... i cant find translucent keycaps..
