Duckie Shine DK9008S Review

Hey guys, here is my review of the newest Ducky Mechanical backlit keyboard.

Here is where I got it from: www.tigerimports.net

I will add addresses of sites that provide these as they become available (though it might be doubtful more will show up.)

What's the difference between a DK1008 and a DK9008S?

@omg123596 I believe its the backlighting. No other duckie keyboard has backlighting behind every key like this one does.

Spamming SD i see ^^

@OdiousTea I don't really know what that comment means. but if you are talking about the video quality, yeah... it's not the best since my camera is kinda crappy. Trying to get a better one but the money isn't there.

are the keys flimsy? I just sent back my blackwidow and bought this instead, the keys rocked back and forth a little on the blackwidow, which I don't like.

[shukero]

@CheeseMoe13 I would not call them flimsy but yes they will move about .5 mm from left to right if you rock they keys back and forth. THis is something unavoidable with any keyboard. Especially ones that have interchangeable keys.

I just received this keyboard today and love it. Mine came with a manual on a sheet of paper, that indicates the purpose of the switches on the back. They are DIP switches with the following functionality enabled when the switch is set to on:

1 - disables Win key

2 - switches Caps Lock and Ctrl keys

3 - switches Alt and Win key

4 - no function

Good initial review. How about an update as to how the keyboard is performing and if you still like it.

@flaamehead I just got my new ducky shine (with brown switches) and its amazing. The tactile switch on the blues was too stiff for my liking. These switches are so much better!

i cant tell from images, are the keys rubber capped

it seems as if there is not a single mechanical, green back-lit, rubber keyed, and simple framed keyboard out there

if anyone knows of such a keyboard id love to know, however if the keys on these are rubber coated then im set as the design on this is amazing

@shukero Thanks for quick reply, subscribed C:

@Krazycougar22 The brown switches are excellent on this great board.

Why are the printed characters inverted on this keyboard?

For eg, usually the question mark symbol is ABOVE the forward slash but with this KB the question mark symbol is BELOW the forward slash. What a deal breaker, why deviate from the standard? I don't understand the mechanical KB manufacturer's logic, eg another questionable thing these manufacturers tend to do is remove the 'left windows key' and replace it with a media toggle button. So EXCEPTIONALLY annoying.

I've had my ducky shine keyboard for almost a month now (green led's and blue switches :3) and I love it! First mechanical keyboard and ill never go back to a rubber dome. I kinda wish I went with the brown switches as some say the tactile feedback isn't as noticeable as the blues. I really wish mechanical keyboards could be in stores so you can try each switch out (aside from the Razer keyboard at BestBuy), One day Ill own all switch types... one day.

I got the keyboard today and i noticed it that my LOCK, keys are Blue when i press them. Yours are blue.
