The Shine Zone is an all around great mechanical board. The switches feel great, the lighting modes it provides are more than sufficient, the leds can be extremely bright, the grated plastic finish doesn't attract dust or collect fingerprints, the board as a whole is heavy and sturdy, it sits well without being raised, and the plastic feet are thick.

The only negative thing one could say about the Ducky Shine Zone, which is subjective, is that the usb cable isn't detachable.

If you want a great backlit mechanical keyboard at a more budget friendly price then buy the Shine Zone and live happy.

This keyboard is great! It has nice 4 extra WASD keys and the keys are nicely together
