Well, no dragon icon, no 2012 keycaps, and not limited edition.

no "FUS RO DAAAAA"

Shine2 87key has all color choices for each type of switch?

ducky shine 2 got 87 keys? I thought shine series only in full size...

impossible, i have pretty big palm. lol

It should have the exact same backlit features as DK9008S2. I don't think it will have the special features from the Year of the Dragon.

If the spacebar is shorten to the right by a wee bit, i will need to stretch my thumb to reach the spacebar already

breaking bad keys + crystal keys:

The backlit feature of the shine 2 is totally the same as the yotd. So I think the only things tat can distinguish btween shine 2 n yotd is 'limited edition' tag ...

hey guys should i get the Ducky 9087 SHine 2 or the RACE keyboard from kai? my budget is quite limited but if the Ducky is worth the few extra bucks i'll instead grab the Ducky 9087 shine 2.. thanks if so any authorised,trusted seller in LYN who brings in Ducky 9087 shine 2? thanks!!!!

i thought last time you posted one review that mentioned about the odd length of the spacebar and it being the biggest put off of the deal????



oh... this time got built in internal memory? will it be able to save the lighting preferences that Shine v1 cant do? Coz if not mistaken, Shine v1 cannot maintain the mode of lighting, and will be "rebooted" after every restart?

I think, last time got someone (not sure from geekhack or LYN) mentioned that should include one backlit mode which is at first all the 104 keys are lit, then each key pressed will put out the light, then the key relights a while after that, that i think is a more sleek and geek style of backlit, hopefully Ducky can put this into their next Shine v3

oh? another groupbuy?

well, odd "+" holes positions for the PLUM96

Yes Ducky Shine 2 has internal memory now to store the last active backlit mode and also 2 user defined modes

And well Ducky S2 has the "Kamisama no Memo Chou" mode - the Reactive mode

I see, so this time really got internal memory, hope the next ver will incorporate the mode that i mentioned.... then i may be unable to resist and get it that time!!! (one of the reason being that although steel wire stabilizers are really awesome and nice, but the hassle to remove them to exchange keycaps even once already scared the shyt out of me)





PS: haha.... the first time i saw that mode, i instantly remembered that Kamisama no Memochou's OP, that Apple aluminium keyboard XD and btw off topic, Kamimemo is a nice anime, really liked Alice, all hail Ogura Yui!!!!!!!!

Yui even cosplayed as Alice and make a MV for that opening song, you can look for it.
I like her voice very much

Back to topic, ya Costar style stabilizer really need to be careful when taking them apart, feel like they are so fragile...

REALLY?! *opening youtube at new tab*



PS: yea, tried to learn from youtube videos already, all seems very easy to take out, but when i tried them myself, it is very stubborn to get out, sigh.... guess i really no skill in doing delicate work Plus, i got 2 or 3 keys when i removed them, the white clip was left ON the wire stabilizer, i was shocked for a while, thought i broke my lovely Rosewill which is not even one month's old

Last time tried the Duckies at Heavyarm way back before he bring in Rosewill and i think cherry style stabilizers (the satellite switches at the side of the main switch) actually not that bad, it is hardly noticeable when you're typing at a reasonable speed So maybe if Shine v3 got that backlit mode, i might get a white LED ver of it

Rumour has it that the KBT One/Oni(made by Costar) has satellite switches (Cherry style stabilizers) that feel very very close to Costar wire style stabilizer

Looks like Logitech bought most of the MX Brown Switches..there's heavy shortage now

haha shine v3.. good one
