Although Ducky Channel may not be a name commonly spoken of in the mainstream peripheral market they have actually been around since the late 90s. Avid peripheral enthusiasts on the other hand hold Ducky in high regard because they have been a forerunner for mechanical keyboards and their well-known Shine series has in fact been a mainstay for the brand. Just recently the third iteration of this range has finally reached the finger-tips of devoted supporters.

Shine 3 builds on the success of its predecessor but is packed with even more features. Within the product line there are a multitude of colours available as well as Cherry MX switch types. RGB lighting modes are now interactive and extensive and there are additional features to take advantage of such as key acceleration control and a handy dip switch to disable features such as the windows key. Ducky appear to have everything covered with this new and exciting offering, is this the best mechanical keyboard money can buy?
