00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,320
is nc.com hey guys I'm here at the ducky Booth I know a lot of you that know me

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:19,480
who's watched the live stream who's been on the Forum should have probably expected this I was pretty excited I

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,119
heard they were here at C at I almost just said CES at computex but I wasn't

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,400
sure where because I couldn't find them on any of the actual convention floors

7
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:30,560
but I hunted them down and found their site so we got up here and there's some

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:35,879
really coolu stuff that I'm pretty excited for first I'm not going to go way too into depth of this but this is

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:39,399
the ducky mini it's just the main typing Zone and it's very very cool for very

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,399
portable users there's a detachable cable on the back green backlight but I

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,680
believe you can get two different colors green and blue um believe more than that

12
00:00:45,559 --> 00:00:50,320
more than that so you can get tons of different back liting colors that's awesome we're not going to spend too

13
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:56,280
much time on that though because it's very pre-production sample what I was really really excited for is the ducky

14
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,079
shine 3 this is the aluminium body one which is what I really really want but

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,320
they're not necessarily sure if they're going to release it make sure you comment in the comments and make sure

16
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:07,680
you Hammer their Facebook with how much you actually want an aluminum body uh

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:12,799
keyboard this thing is awesome it feels great it's got nice nice weight to it

18
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,840
because it does have aluminium body um this is their current stock space bar

19
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:19,880
although it might be changing as this is a very very early sample I not going to

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:24,400
spend too much time on this one because like I just said very very early sample

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:28,560
slide down here we get to again ducky shine 3 although with the year of the

22
00:01:26,759 --> 00:01:31,720
snake space bar I'm going to kind of skip over this really really quickly

23
00:01:30,119 --> 00:01:34,840
jump off to the year of the snake keyboard this one has a stock space bar

24
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:40,240
they're still not sure what space bar they're going to go for they have these

25
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:44,000
three more year the snake stylized ones that we saw here there isn't huge

26
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,680
differences between them this one's my current favorite um but they're just

27
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:51,439
totally awesome again comment here slam their Facebook page tell them which one

28
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:56,880
you want these are great great looking space bars great great looking keyboard

29
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,799
it's got the camo color all over it and

30
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:02,920
just looks absolutely awesome if that's the style of keyboard you want if you've

31
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:05,960
got a C70 or any military styled case like that that would go amazingly

32
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:10,959
amazingly well with your build nice Green Key caps back lit all the fixing

33
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,680
uh if we jump down here again to the ducky shine 3 as a lot of you are

34
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:17,480
probably waiting to see don't spend too much times on these they're custom caps

35
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,800
I just wanted to show them off because they're awesome hey guys sorry about that we're going to just jump right into

36
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,599
the lighting modes here so right now we're basically off then we go to the

37
00:02:23,959 --> 00:02:30,720
next lighting mode gets to 60% go to the next lighting mode we get 100% full

38
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,480
keyboard back lighting next lighting mode this is breathing you can see it's

39
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:40,560
going quite quickly right now we can slow it all the way down to a nice

40
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:43,000
smooth paste go all the way back up to

41
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:46,800
disco level speed and just watch it go absolutely

42
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:55,319
crazy okay we're going to switch lighting modes again this is reactive

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,319
typing mode give me one second

44
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:03,200
here there we go sorry about that so this will make it bright uh light up

45
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,319
right away and then disappear right away this is a really cool mode I like this

46
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,599
on my ducky dragon that I already have if we switch to the next mode you'll see

47
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:15,000
it's very similar but now it takes a little bit of its own time to fade out

48
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:18,640
which is just absolutely awesome the only problem I had with reactive typing

49
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:22,519
mode was while you're typing by the time your finger moves away you can't

50
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,200
actually see the light now it actually kind of stays there for a while so if

51
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:29,599
you're typing up an absolute storm and someone's watching you you can actually

52
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,799
see all the keys as you're typing which is is very cool I'm obviously typing

53
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,040
just complete gibberish right now as I'm doing it with my left hand but that's

54
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:41,760
awesome the only complaint I've ever heard about reactive typing mode is it goes too quickly so they address that

55
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,680
problem very very well we going to switch here to wave mode which is also

56
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:49,200
really cool I'm going to slow it down here so you can see it better but it

57
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:53,000
just goes along the keyboard and just looks very very smooth we can make it go

58
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:56,560
really really fast again you can have a disco in your room with this keyboard

59
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:01,120
very easily we're going to switch the next mode this is snake mode it reminds

60
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:05,560
me a lot of their key mode and it just goes across the keyboard I can slow it

61
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,959
down again and when when the guy showing me these keyboards showed me this all I

62
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:13,480
could think of was the actual game of snake I think it would be really really

63
00:04:10,519 --> 00:04:17,000
funny if they had randomly scattered lit up Keys along the keyboard and the snake

64
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:22,000
could grow as it picked them up I just think that would be hilarious although it's not practical at all and makes no

65
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:26,600
real sense I think it would be hilarious then we come back and we're back to off

66
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:29,520
so basically with shine 3 they tried to pick every single possible lighting mode

67
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:34,880
you could ever imagine actually one thing that I Mi missed was the uh delay

68
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:39,639
and delay rate which makes it so that as you hold down a key depending on how you

69
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,919
set it it will go up and down really really really quickly in the software so

70
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:46,919
without you tapping like this if you just hold it down you can make it go

71
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:50,720
insanely fast how ethical that is for gaming I'm not entirely sure because

72
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:53,440
you're kind of taking a cheap Advantage but that's up to you you're buying a

73
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:57,479
really nice keyboard maybe you should have that Advantage I'm not sure discuss

74
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,320
that in comments if you want this is pretty nuts they put every single

75
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:05,240
letting mode you could want as I said before you still have all the dip switch options you had with their previous

76
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,160
keyboards this is crazy a lot of you that know me know I'm completely nerding

77
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,880
out here another thing that I forgot to mention is there's a new uh wrist rest

78
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,759
that they're not sure if they're going to release as well but this looks really sharp personally I like their older

79
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:19,000
leather models more but just if you want the more plexiglass feel and you want

80
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,240
their awesome logo on the side you can have that as well another thing is they

81
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:27,479
now have a zero shine so basically it's a zero that comes in I believe blue and

82
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:30,360
green blue and uh orange blue and orange okay so you have blue and orange back

83
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:33,600
light zero it's only slightly more expensive as their previous zero that

84
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:37,039
wasn't back lit so all you guys that want a cheap entry-level mechanical

85
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:41,080
keyboard that has backlighting on it this is a great great option thank you
