    Hello. Your video was very helpful in showing how the opening of a mechanical keyboard MIGHT be accomplished, but it only got me so far. My situation appears to be unique, in that I have a DAS mechanical keyboard and opening the top two corners of the keyboard seems a bit different from your demonstration. What are the chances that you have a similar video for a DAS keyboard or can point me in the direction of just where I might find one? Thanks much for your video demonstration. It is appreciated.

    can you do a disassembly of the Shine 6?

    • @geoffblanduk
      @geoffblanduk 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      From doing this myself to customise a Ducky Shine 6. There are a total of 8 screws on the bottom of the keyboard. The first 5 are visible. The 6th is under the warranty sticker, unlike in this video you can't get the warranty sticker off in one piece. The 7th and eighth screws are under the small round rubber feet in the corners (not the square feet).
      Once all those screws are removed you can loosen the clips at the top and bottom of the case as shown in this video using a credit card or similar.
      HTH.

  • @tsun8267
    @tsun8267 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When I removed the 5pin usb connector I did it from the other end (by accident) which is much easier however it seems I have damaged the keyboard by connecting it back but flipped the other way around. Is that possible? One way I get a message saying "usb not recognized" and the other way I get no message. No lights either way, completely dead. Checking with a volt meter I get 4.99V to the main pcb. Is there a fix to this or did I really break my ducky with reverse polarity?

  • @WARDISWARD
    @WARDISWARD 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    afaik , ducky one is the only keyboard that has Nkey roll over over usb
    It registers ALL keys when pressed , while most mech. keyboards only register 6 or 8 keys over sub
    When you go to windows hardware , you,ll notice that the ducky one it seen as2 separate keyboards .
    I think that's the way they do it

  • @noire1001
    @noire1001 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Are those PBT key caps? I didn't know Ducky made PBT key cap if they are. Thats the only negative thing about my Shine 3, the cheapo, thin ABS keycaps. Replaced them with some PBT caps frpm Aliexpress and it's amazing what a difference it makes. It feels and sounds so much better. Although I have to say, I do miss the Ducky branding on the windows keys and space bar.

    My brother spilled some tea on my keyboard, and after unplugging it and letting it dry the left alt key is gummed up. I was hoping you might be able to recommend any course of action. I've got isopropyl alcohol, but I don't know if there is a proper way of cleaning mechanical switches or if im just screwed.

  • @mordredgaming6727

    Is there any way to open the switches themselves for lubing without de-soldering or is it impossible with the mounting plate in the way?

    • @NiklasSchnake
      @NiklasSchnake 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm interested in this, too.

    • @ihatedwang
      @ihatedwang 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You need to de-solder. the keys are on top of the mounting plate, and the only way to remove that plate would be to remove the keys. there is a small lip in the side of the switches.

    Does your warranty still last if you open it up but don’t modify anything?

    • @VenomRaven
      @VenomRaven 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      My understanding is no. By opening it you void the warranty.
      Lots of electronics have this on them (like a Playstation for example). A lot of repair activists are moaning about this a lot because its obviously very anti consumer.

  • @cordonbleu9758

    Or just the switch???

    • @GamingMafia_id
      @GamingMafia_id 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you still looking for an answer; usually the led are attached to the top of the switch, I suggest to desolder the led too.

    Do you recommend any specific LED for these keyboards? One of the LED on mine has become dimmer than the rest and I'm not sure what I need to replace it with.

    • @tygier100
      @tygier100  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      3mm flangeless. but it's very hard to color match since each batch of LED will have a different color. best bet is to send in for warranty replacement.

  • @harrytsang1501

    Here is the thing, My keyboard got wet and it's "Ins, Del, End, PgUp, PgDn" led was on at minimum brightness when it signals off. It turns on correctly with all the effects and not visible under the keyboard. Should I try to open it to dry it or leave it be?

    The FN/Function key on my Duck One TKL RGB won't work. I've tried many online key testers and still nothing. The main problem with this, is that my RGB backlighting is stuck on rainbow and I want to change it to red. However, you can only change the RGB via pressing the FN key. Does anyone know how I can change the RGB without pressing FN? I tried using my other keyboard to hold down FN, however it didn't work for obvious reasons but that was the best I could come up with.
