I think everyone know about this? tongue.gif

That looks disastrous IMO. Ducky's design has always been very distasteful from what I observe especially the spacebar.

Anyway, just my humble opinion. Ducky owners don't shoot me down. Haha.

The spacebar? Why the spacebar distasteful?

This. Unnecessary and superfluous design on the spacebar. Then there's duck logo as well... doh.gif

I see. Snake logo spacebar.  laugh.gif
Snake year ducky. Although not limited edition, they still give snake logo spacebar.
I think still better design than old ducky shine spacebar.

There are really nice limited edition Ducky. See images below.

Ahhh, okay. Seems like it's only the snake year Ducky that gets on my nerves. The rest are pretty okay... Like how a mechanical keyboard should look. laugh.gif

Some people like it, some people don't.

As long as you happily make an informed decision, then I don't care. Still get ridiculed by me though, so YMMV.

Haha, definitely. Just expressing my 2 cents. Taste is a *very* subjective matter after all. What looks good to me might not look good to you. laugh.gif

i'm glad that i bought ducky shine 3 instead of waiting for shine 4.
That looks like a gas stove to me.
I guess i'll be looking at ducky legend on next one.

Oh my god. Your comment is spot on. thumbup.gif

The other guy on tw ducky facebook left a more interesting comment lol.
Game and porn volume.
Actually i kinda like ducky shine 3. However.. i dont like plastic casing.
Been searching through various spots for custom metalic enclosures.
From diecast mold / liquid metal /aluminium /steel.
Looking for an anodized aluminium surface to be spray with matte black so i can replace the casing of shine3.
This would applies to top and bottom casing as well.
But the chances kinda slim. These are usually quote against moq. Single piece would be too expensive.

Anyways.. it's my first mechanical kb. Would say.. rubber dome will be out of my choice from now on.
*
Hahaha. How did I even miss that?

Ducky Shine 3 is actually okay la. It's just the spacebar that I don't find very aesthetically pleasing. Plastic casing is fine for me as I carry the keyboard around a lot. Don't want any extra weight in my bag if possible. sweat.gif

His one looks more plastic-y though. Nevertheless the TEX case looks great. drool.gif

aluminium case.

Seems like all the custom cases are made of aluminium. Got plastic one ah? But with similar design to the aluminium one. Alu will add quite a lot to the weight le.

That's hell of a finger. If you can do keycaps, I know you can do something else with it. brows.gif

Why no like alu? Plastics 1 feel very cheap.
I got 1 keyboard ~550g, ppl said cheap materials, not solid. When type, the keyboard also moving around. sad.gif

Cos alu is heavier no? I carry my mech keyboard around so that added weight is really not welcomed.

Around that I suppose. Not forgetting the MacBook, headphones etc in my bag. Damn heavy leh. biggrin.gif
And alu case costs more or less the price of the keyboard. blink.gif

Plastic still the best for mobility  nod.gif , Aluminum casing just gives slightly more solid feel and premium looking.
So use heavy one at home and bring the plastic out for working etc  thumbup.gif .

There's also polycarbonate and acrylic case/plate for custom keyboard.

Yeap. Agreed. My Filco will remain at home when my Poker 2 comes. rclxm9.gif

I just confirm with yuktsi14 (he got offer a good price with keycaps) but he didn't reply me... yet... scare he scammed me...  cry.gif

Anyone has his contacts btw? notworthy.gif

I bought it from 0168257061 haha. He ordered it from Taobao I think.
I wanted to get yuktsi14's unit as well (for backup) but I don't think I need a spare one right now. tongue.gif

What's the mechanical keyboard equivalent of a mouse? Like, is there something as tactile and fun to use for the mouse like there is for the keyboard (aka mechanical keyboard)?

Good news for DSA Dolch seekers. Looks like SP has another batch of DSA Dolch for sale. But its way more expensive now at $70 ($50 before).

Just got my Poker 2 from yuktsi14, nice keyboard, just lack of the USB cable... sweat.gif
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Anyway, that's my office workspace, very small so I have to put it on my laptop, and on top of the palm rest due to the shorter length, otherwise it'll be pressing the keys on the laptop.
So now I'm looking for extra height palm rest if there's any, otherwise I'll have to custom my own from soft styrofoam and put inside a bag or something of which I already has it on my mind.
And thanks to justnits, I got a darn nice length cable for this keyboard as well, going to order another set, now looking at other colors...  brows.gif

Nice! rclxm9.gif Now I know where to get my usb cable from. brows.gif justnits
