QUOTE(dragorc @ Aug 21 2012, 04:41 PM) 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?

QUOTE(dragorc @ Aug 21 2012, 06:20 PM) 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...

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?

QUOTE(kaiserreich @ Aug 23 2012, 11:25 PM) 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

QUOTE(JohnDiew0107 @ Aug 23 2012, 11:41 PM) 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..
