Alright so, I have the choice between Ducky Shine2 with either browns or whites, or I can go Ducky G2PRO with either browns or whites. Which is considered the overall best?

Also, just to clarify, whites are simply slightly stiffer browns, yeah?

Shine has backlighting, g2pro does not.

g2pro has high quality keycaps, thick, good plastic and super durable printing. The shine has normal backlit keycaps.

The g2pro should be a fair bit cheaper.

Yes whites are stiffer browns.

Where can you buy the Ducky Shine 2 with browns? Ive tried a couple places I know sell them but they have been sold out for a long time.

Mx Clears are stiffer browns. Whites are clicky.

Oh shit, good pickup. My bad.
So whites are basically more stiff blues.

The Shine 3 is on the way, so Shine 2 is going out of stock everywhere.

I am having a brown switch Filco TKL for SC2 & coding. I am considering buying a red switch Ducky DK9008G2 Pro for SC2 only. But I heard different opinions about which switch is better for RTS game like SC2.

So I want to ask you guys here who has used both 2 switch for a recommendation.

Thank you very much!

I tried out both blue for a year and red for around 8 months now.
Personally I like blue better because of the clicky sound just makes the experience even better. Red feels like you can roll over the whole keyboard with ease and it feels kinda different.
imo, if you got a brown, you should get a red just to get a different feel because blue and brown aren't as different as red/black and brown/blue

Wow I don't know if Ducky is trolling or if they're still adding more backlighting features to the Shine 3.

that looks really fucking obnoxious.

As requested, a crappy cell pic of my nighthawk X9, back from customization (base of MX reds, fkeys, numpad, tilde, FN, esc, capslock, and backspace MX browns, enter, windows, and page MX black)

It's nowhere near as bright as it is in the picture, 3 levels of backlighting and a pulse mode similar to razer

[image loading]

Expensive, but I don't think I'm going to be replacing this keyboard until it breaks.

that spacebar 2 lighting is really attractive though, especially with that snake logo. damn
I think that slowed down reactive mode is probably the best lighting a keyboard can ever get

I'm glad you got what you wanted and hope it works out for you but my god that's the 'busiest' looking keyboard I've ever seen. I don't think I could handle so much lighting.

That is the kinda feature that would be awesome to show your friends, but you would never use it normally.

finally got my qtan keycaps tonight after waiting 6 weeks! turns out they arent the same as the ones in the pictures that i ordered.. though very similar. theyre white pbt caps with side printed letters.. but take note that the font of the printing isn't the same. i liked the ones in the picture better but i also enjoy the ones i received. these are more of a contemporary styled font but still good. my barebones wasd keyboard has been sitting in my closet for about 5 weeks and i've been dying to use it. typing on it now and it rocks

You can't tell us what your keyboard is? Looks similar to a blackwidow, if so according to this diagram it should fit.

It's a Razer Blackwidow Mac Edition, I assumed that it was different to the normal blackwidow/no one has used the mac edition so I thought that it would be easier to post photos :/

Thanks for the link, that looks a great help!

They will but it seems you'll be missing one key, can't be sure of mac version but i'd imagine razer don't have 2 kinds of spacebars.

The blackwidow bottom row is 1.5 units - 1 - 1.5 - 6.0 - 1.5 - 1 - 1 - 1.5

Thanks! I removed that key anyway because accidently hitting it sets off macro record and I managed to record and bind my password to enter one time which resulted in me spamming it in an sc2 chat channel.
