Hey guys, I'm here at the Ducky Booth. I know a lot of you that know me, who's watched the livestream, who's been on the forum, should have probably expected this. I was pretty excited. I heard they're here at, I almost just said CES, at Computex, but I wasn't sure where because I couldn't find them on any of the actual convention floors, but I hunted them down and found their suite. So we got up here and there's some really cool stuff that I'm pretty excited for. First, I'm not going to go way too into depth of this, but this is the Ducky Mini. It's just the main typing zone, and it's very, very cool for very portable users. There's a detachable cable on the back, green backlight, but I believe you can get two different colors, green and blue. More than that. More than that, so you can get tons of different backlighting colors. That's awesome. We're not going to spend too much time on that though because it's a very pre-production sample. What I was really, really excited for is the Ducky Shine 3. This is the aluminum body one, which is what I really, really want, but they're not necessarily sure if they're going to release it. Make sure you comment in the comments and make sure you hammer their Facebook with how much you actually want an aluminum body keyboard. This thing is awesome. It feels great. It's got nice, nice weight to it because it does have aluminum body. This is their current stock space bar, although it might be changing as this is a very, very early sample. I don't want to spend too much time on this one because, like I just said, very, very early sample. On the side down here, we get to, again, Ducky Shine 3, although with the Year of the Snake space bar. I'm going to kind of skip over this really, really quickly, jump up to the Year of the Snake keyboard. This one has a stock space bar. They're still not sure what space bar they're going to go for. They have these three more Year of the Snake stylized ones that we saw here. There isn't huge differences between them. This one's my current favorite, but they're just totally awesome. Again, comment here, slam their Facebook page, tell them which one you want. These are great, great looking space bars, great, great looking keyboard. It's got the camo color all over it and just looks absolutely awesome if that's the style of keyboard you want. If you've got a C70 or any military-styled case like that, that would go amazingly, amazingly well with your build. Nice green keycaps, backlit, all the fixings. If we jump down here again, the Ducky Shine 3, as a lot of you are probably waiting to see, don't spend too much time on these. They're custom caps. I just wanted to show them off because they're awesome. Hey guys, sorry about that. We're going to just jump right into the lighting modes here. So right now, we're basically off. Then we go to the next lighting mode, gets to 60%. Go to the next lighting mode, we get 100% full keyboard backlighting. Next lighting mode. This is breathing. You can see it's going quite quickly right now. We can slow it all the way down to a nice smooth pace. Go all the way back up to disco level speed and just watch it go absolutely crazy. Okay, we're going to switch lighting modes again. This is reactive typing mode. Give me one second here. There we go. Sorry about that. So this will make it light up right away and then disappear right away. This is a really cool mode. I like this on my Ducky Dragon that I already have. If we switch to the next mode, you'll see it's very similar, but now it takes a little bit of its own time to fade out, which is just absolutely awesome. The only problem I had with reactive typing mode was while you're typing, by the time your finger moves away, you can't actually see the light. Now it actually kind of stays there for a while. So if you're typing up an absolute storm and someone's watching you, you can actually see all the keys as you're typing, which is just very cool. I'm obviously typing just complete gibberish right now as I'm doing it with my left hand, but that's awesome. The only complaint I've ever heard about reactive typing mode is it goes too quickly. So they addressed that problem very, very well. I'm going to switch here to wave mode, which is also really cool. I'm going to slow it down here so you can see it better. And it just goes along the keyboard and just looks very, very smooth. We can make it go really, really fast. Again, you can have a disco in your room with this keyboard very easily. I'm going to switch the next mode. This is snake mode. It reminds me a lot of their marquee mode, and it just goes across the keyboard. I can slow it down again. And when the guy showing me these keyboards showed me this, all I could think of was the actual game of snake. I think it would be really, really funny if they had randomly scattered lit up keys along the keyboard and the snake could grow as it picked them up. I just think that would be hilarious. Although it's not practical at all and makes no real sense, I think it would be hilarious. Then we come back, and we're back to off. So basically with Shine 3, they tried to pick every single possible lighting mode you could ever imagine. Actually, one thing that I missed was the delay and delay rate, which makes it so that as you hold down a key, depending on how you set it, it will go up and down really, really, really quickly in the software. So without you tapping like this, if you just hold it down, you can make it go insanely fast. How ethical that is for gaming, I'm not entirely sure because you're kind of taking a cheap advantage. But that's up to you. You're buying a really nice keyboard. Maybe you should have that advantage. I'm not sure. Discuss that in comments if you want. This is pretty nuts. They put every single lighting mode you could want. As I said before, you still have all the dip switch options you had with their previous keyboards. This is crazy. A lot of you that know me know that I'm completely nerding out here. Another thing that I forgot to mention is there's a new wrist rest that they're not sure if they're going to release as well, but this looks really sharp. Personally, I like their older leather models more, but just if you want the more plexiglass feel and you want their awesome logo on the side, you can have that as well. Another thing is they now have a zero shine. So basically it's a zero that comes in, I believe, blue and green. Blue and orange. Okay. So you have blue and orange backlight zero. It's only slightly more expensive as the previous zero that wasn't backlit. So all you guys that want a cheap entry level mechanical keyboard that has backlighting on it, this is a great, great option. Thank you for joining me at the Ducky Booth.
