Well, other than use Cherry stabilizers (demerits by some), but they did supposedly produce a new type of stabilizer specifically for their Ducky Zero series.

Then there's this:


which will likely be the only keyboard to ever serve as a production-quality switch tester. The only thought in my mind is, what will they do next?

So that's greens, whites, clears, reds, browns, blues, and blacks? What am I missing? What's that yellow-led switch?

Looks like gray too. Mixed boards would confuse and annoy the crap out of me. I like the heavier (gray) space and sometimes enter, but no more.

I would be really confused using that board and would slam the reds after using the number pad. Its a cool idea for someone who loves every cherry mx switch.

Is it Christmas already? That's a weird looking tree.

Seriously though, could be used as a demo model to try different switches.

Christmas is not far way, less than 11 months actually.

8 different switches is lame!

I soon will offer a keyboard with different 12 switches!!!!!

I guess I am one of the weirdo that want this. Too bad it is super limited and I probably won't get my hands on it. I suppose I could DIY it but I am really lazy and wouldn't want to change all those led and switch on a Shine 2.
I imagine it with the Cherry handarbeit set, it's almost a match for the colors led to keycap.

I will wait for 7bit's version. :p

Supposedly the US distributor Tiger Imports is landing a bunch of these; I don't think it's limited to 78 keyboards in total.

I want this for a few reasons: I want a backlit Ducky Shine II keyboard, MX Reds with purple LEDs. I actually would like the novelty of diverse MX switches on a production-quality board. Too bad it's a full-size keyboard and not TKL.

Now waiting for ISO ;D

The only think "wrong" Ducky did is release the Zero series keyboard when it's practically identical (except $35 cheaper) to ABS G2 Pro boards already flooding the market.

But still, as long as Ducky does well their quality will continue to improve (already very good though).

Why so many switches on the same board? I would lose my mind.

It's a gimmick/presentation board showing the wide array of options Ducky has. They already announced specialty switch boards like the MX Green one released late last year (think Dark Greys, Greys, Whites, Clears).

It could be useful to a handful of enthusiasts but otherwise it's pretty ridiculous (and obviously not a full production board-Ducky themselves said there is a lot of overhead labor and QC to ensure the correct switches go where they should).

But, food for thought: has any other player in the Cherry MX market produced such a unique and wide array of LED boards and switch combos?

It's an excellent board to keep at work, it's like a switch try board.
