Check the Max keyboard Nighthawk X8 out too as it seems like a good keyboard with all the features included.

And if you can get into the 20% off group buy on custompcreview, that makes it a sweet deal.

Is it even possible to get a Ducky Shine at a reasonable price? Every Ducky Shine I I see is marked up big time since it's discontinued now that the Shine II is on the horizon, and Ducky seems to be in the process of marking up the price of the soon to be released Shine II as well, since it's in high demand.

Well, I was following the Ducky Shine 2 massdrop on reddit but it seems to be a massfail so far. With the last news that Ducky is not willing for a discount on a massdrop, I switched my selection to the Max Nighthawk X8.
