is nc.com hey guys I'm here at the ducky Booth I know a lot of you that know me

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

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

00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:26.400
sure where because I couldn't find them on any of the actual convention floors

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

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

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

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:42.399
portable users there's a detachable cable on the back green backlight but I

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:46.680
believe you can get two different colors green and blue um believe more than that

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

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

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:59.079
shine 3 this is the aluminium body one which is what I really really want but

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

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:07.680
you Hammer their Facebook with how much you actually want an aluminum body uh

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:12.799
keyboard this thing is awesome it feels great it's got nice nice weight to it

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:16.840
because it does have aluminium body um this is their current stock space bar

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

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:24.400
spend too much time on this one because like I just said very very early sample

00:01:21.720 --> 00:01:28.560
slide down here we get to again ducky shine 3 although with the year of the

00:01:26.759 --> 00:01:31.720
snake space bar I'm going to kind of skip over this really really quickly

00:01:30.119 --> 00:01:34.840
jump off to the year of the snake keyboard this one has a stock space bar

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

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:44.000
three more year the snake stylized ones that we saw here there isn't huge

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:47.680
differences between them this one's my current favorite um but they're just

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:51.439
totally awesome again comment here slam their Facebook page tell them which one

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:56.880
you want these are great great looking space bars great great looking keyboard

00:01:53.880 --> 00:01:58.799
it's got the camo color all over it and

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:02.920
just looks absolutely awesome if that's the style of keyboard you want if you've

00:02:00.039 --> 00:02:05.960
got a C70 or any military styled case like that that would go amazingly

00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:10.959
amazingly well with your build nice Green Key caps back lit all the fixing

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

00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:17.480
probably waiting to see don't spend too much times on these they're custom caps

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

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:26.599
the lighting modes here so right now we're basically off then we go to the

00:02:23.959 --> 00:02:30.720
next lighting mode gets to 60% go to the next lighting mode we get 100% full

00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:34.480
keyboard back lighting next lighting mode this is breathing you can see it's

00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:40.560
going quite quickly right now we can slow it all the way down to a nice

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:43.000
smooth paste go all the way back up to

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.800
disco level speed and just watch it go absolutely

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:55.319
crazy okay we're going to switch lighting modes again this is reactive

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.319
typing mode give me one second

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:03.200
here there we go sorry about that so this will make it bright uh light up

00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:06.319
right away and then disappear right away this is a really cool mode I like this

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

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

00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:18.640
which is just absolutely awesome the only problem I had with reactive typing

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:22.519
mode was while you're typing by the time your finger moves away you can't

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:25.200
actually see the light now it actually kind of stays there for a while so if

00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:29.599
you're typing up an absolute storm and someone's watching you you can actually

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

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

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

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:45.680
problem very very well we going to switch here to wave mode which is also

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

00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:53.000
just goes along the keyboard and just looks very very smooth we can make it go

00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:56.560
really really fast again you can have a disco in your room with this keyboard

00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:01.120
very easily we're going to switch the next mode this is snake mode it reminds

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

00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:08.959
down again and when when the guy showing me these keyboards showed me this all I

00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:13.480
could think of was the actual game of snake I think it would be really really

00:04:10.519 --> 00:04:17.000
funny if they had randomly scattered lit up Keys along the keyboard and the snake

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

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

00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:29.520
so basically with shine 3 they tried to pick every single possible lighting mode

00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:34.880
you could ever imagine actually one thing that I Mi missed was the uh delay

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

00:04:37.400 --> 00:04:42.919
set it it will go up and down really really really quickly in the software so

00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:46.919
without you tapping like this if you just hold it down you can make it go

00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:50.720
insanely fast how ethical that is for gaming I'm not entirely sure because

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

00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:57.479
really nice keyboard maybe you should have that Advantage I'm not sure discuss

00:04:55.400 --> 00:05:00.320
that in comments if you want this is pretty nuts they put every single

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

00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:08.160
keyboards this is crazy a lot of you that know me know I'm completely nerding

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

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

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:19.000
leather models more but just if you want the more plexiglass feel and you want

00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:23.240
their awesome logo on the side you can have that as well another thing is they

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

00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:30.360
green blue and uh orange blue and orange okay so you have blue and orange back

00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:33.600
light zero it's only slightly more expensive as their previous zero that

00:05:31.880 --> 00:05:37.039
wasn't back lit so all you guys that want a cheap entry-level mechanical

00:05:35.400 --> 00:05:41.080
keyboard that has backlighting on it this is a great great option thank you
