The keyboard arrived on time and in perfect condition. This is my first ever mechanical keyboard and I'm LOVING IT. I'm not a gamer but brought it to work and it's making my desk job more enjoyable with the amazing blue cherry mx switches and pretty colors. I was initially waiting for the Ducky Shine 5 RGB but many online reviews claimed that there was very little difference between the 4 and the 5 and so I bit the bullet and got the 4 and don't regret it a bit (especially since it was on sale).
Highly recommended!
I got this keyboard as a replacement for an Outemu Blue keyboard. I have to say, the Ducky Shine 4 is extremely solid and a pleasure to type on.
The only complaint I have is that the keycaps are different from what I was anticipated. I got thicker and better ABS keycaps than what is pictured at the expense of the Horse spacebar and extra legends. The legends look exactly what is on the Shine 5 (without the Goat spacebar). Overall, I give the keyboard two thumbs up.
Fantastic board! I've owned 2 MX Blue boards and this gives the that tactical feeling of blues without the noise. Great profile and has some cool lighting modes
Great keyboard, I have one with Brown switches for the non-alphabetic keys and Clear ones for the alphabetic keys. The Clear switches seem to fit keycaps a bit more tightly. I've never had an issue pulling out switches, just don't pull too hard, make sure to do it gently and wiggle a bit if needed.
Overall great keyboard. One of my issues is the WASD keys that come as gamer replacement keycaps. The D key attaches too tightly to the switch and it was possible for it to pull out the switch and spring out while removing it. Doesn't happen with any other keycaps in my experience.
I got the keyboard, great lighting features and great quality build.
Pro: Cool effects
-tactile feel
- keyboard itself is amazing
cons- nothing its just that good of a keyboard
I got the keyboard on time and it is very cool and works perfectly.
Pros
-Cool effects
-all keys functioning normally
-very good for typing and some games
Cons
-space bar and left shift have green cherry mx
-very complex to program the lighting
Excellent keyboard, with some pretty awesome lighting modes with 8 brightness settings for each LED. Making for 64 potential colors. Only downside is that the keyboard backlight doesn't turn off when the screen does like other keyboards. You instead have to cycle through the lighting modes to off, or simply leave the lights running.
Very satisfied with the quality of the board. The keys feel and look great with all of the lighting effects. Definitely recommend
I just received the keyboard today. It's an awesome keyboard, it was shipped fast and great service. This is my first Ducky I like the build and fit and finish better than my Mac das keyboard I'm using the Ducky a Linux box. Really great action with the Brown Cherry MX mechanisms. Definitely has increased my typing speed and the keys feel silky smooth. Now I have to get the color set up the way I want it.
I really like the keyboard. I have different keys customized to different colors such as gaming keys like wasd, 1-4, arrows, spacebar, r and c are red. I also replaced the wasd keycaps to red ones that are included. Then i made the other normal letters purple and the non letters blue. I also used autohotkey to make the pc, home, and mail buttons become dedicated media keys (play/pause, forward, back). The plastic top has an aluminum like texture making it look and feel nice. The entire keyboard is very sturdy and has a nice weight to it. The "hoove lifts" are really nice as well. Easy to take off and on but I like them on and they are much nicer way to angle the keyboard versus lifts. Overall happy with mechanicalkeyboard sending it out on time and the keyboard being great.
This keyboard is exactly what I was looking for; the Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock keys all illuminate when activated.
This is a great board. Loving the service provided by Mechanical Keyboards as well.
I just received it today and love the layout and the key actuation. Will buy from Ducky/MK.com again.
Thanks!
