i saw many new stocks of filco kb arrived at viewnet lowyat...ninja,camo,and evrytg else got

mind me asking the diff between shine1 and shine2?

New backlit mode. New(lowered) keyboard height.

just those 2? the keys will be the same? Because I saw the shine1 is at like rm330 from one guy in garage sales thought if it was jsut backlit diff then i might as well get shine1

Not sure bout other different but probably won't be the main factors(improved keycaps coating and so on).
Edit: Oh, just remember that Shine2 can save its backlit mode but Shine1's get reset everytime you off your comp.

If you found new Shine1 for only 330, then go ahead, it is a good buy.

I kinda leave my pc on 24/7 so would that suit me?

juz get the shine 2 tho, the built quality, functions shud be better than shine 1..

any exact changelog or updates? because paying rm100 extra just for diff backlit aint really worth it

RM330 for Shine 1 is a good buy.

Act I never owns any shine model but I do for a while owned Ducky DK9087 Year of the dragon which I guess is an introduction for shine 2 maybe..So far I found tat this ducky yotd has a good solid built quality and I can say the quality is juz the same as Filco a wellknown brands for good and sturdy mecha keyboard..so as Barney stinson says 'New is always better' haha...

according to heavy-arm, shine 2 arrove arpox mid nov or end nov...

Indeed. The first Ducky Shine was hellaexpensive too, I remember paying RM480 for the red switch, only sold it for 360 after 3 months because the retail price dropped to 430 r

What does everyone think of the Gigabyte Osmium?

Osmium??? actually i was wondering why are you considering all these "gaming mechanical keyboard" when you already have good choices such as FILCO, Ducky, Rosewill and etc. Well, if you want backlit, Ducky Shine v1 or v2 already can deliver that for you, unless you need those "macro keys" or media keys that are offered in those so called gaming mechanicals, else why pay more for something similar?

maybe cause the marketing team designed the promotion to make it look so awesome that people tend to fall for it

the power of marketing and advertising???? I MUST NOT BOW DOWN TO THEM!!!!!!

bow down to the power of marketing art!!

Seriously bro, If you're already looking at good mech kb manufacturers' stuff, don't look at those gaming brands already.

I reviewed Shine1, 9008G2 and 9008G2pro before. Sadly I only got chance to play around with 9087 YOTD for a few minutes, Since Shine2 is about the same functions as YOTD, I can say that Shine2 has:

- lowered height (from 9008G2pro)
- more fancy backlit settings (from 9087 YOTD)

conclusion?

New bottom case for lowered height, you can't feel the difference difference I'd say, even for me who owned both.

Would the customised backlit settings improve your typing experience? You might play with the settings during the first month but soon after, the next time you'll use it probably the time your friends came over.

Sos Cili:
DK-9008S Shine
DK-9008G2 PBT version
DK-9008G2pro

Yet another iOne made board, might as well get Razer BWU...

because the ducky looks quite plain so of course who wouldn't check out other brands with different design and also features? Of course need survey all choices since i'm forking out quite a bit to top up from my initial budget of rm250, remember I have not yet used a mechanical keyboard so I don't fully know the difference so cut me some slack.

So get the Shine1 oredi enough I guess? I don't think i will be changing the lighting.
