Basically, Yes.

In more detail, the process of making the keycaps, double laser etching so the LED light can shine through can only (so far, to date with my knowledge) be done on ABS. I believe they were trying it with PBT, but the material was not holding up well and kept cracking, they believe it is due to the brittleness of the material. So don't count on getting any LED lit PBT keycaps. I'm not saying they're impossible to get, but according to Ducky, they haven't been able to do it. So if you really want PBT keycaps, you will have to give up the LED feature. Once again, just to make sure, don't quote me on any of that, this is just from what I remember seeing somewhere, someone asking about PBT keycaps for the Shine.

The M killed it for me too, sending those to everyone and not just mechanical keyboard.com was a dumb idea on Ducky's part. Either way, I ordered one and maybe we can just buy another keyset from them later with Ducky logo on it.

You can try this place:

Last night I said screw it and just bought the M Edition. Figured its a minor issue. Main thing is a high quality white led, red mx keyboard.

Tell your friends the "M" stands for "MAD-DUKE- Congrats biggrin.gif

Now if I can only catch a break with bills I'm down for a set of browns with an M or not.

lol... I feel stupid for not thinking of this myself !!! Good point... Loving the M Edition now.

Since I never had mechanical Keyboards before, so originally I had no idea what MX I wanted.
I have been buying different Mechanical Keyboards on Amazon for a few months now, returning and reordering. So I know That I like MX Red the most and Brown second best. I just return my MX Brown Das Keyboard and ill actually get back a large portion of the money I dropped on this Ducky.

Deck keyboards use PBT keycaps and are also backlit

My marquee setting only goes through the top Function row, it doesn't go throughout the entire board like it does on YOTD. Can anyone with a Shine 2 confirm this?

Okay so someone on GH confirmed this on their Shine 2 as well. I guess the whole board marquee was something special for YOTD...

Limiting functionality artificially so you can charge more?

Oh, now that is just Ducky.
