"A few *key* differences. ;)" What is this? Linus Tech Tips?

[@punisher288]

I am curious too

[@doughnuts5364]

And then goes straight into the sponsor haha

[@richardstobert482]

You have done God's work.

[@zilliq]

When watching your videos a month back I felt that you lacked energy and was a little bit worried that you may have any real life issue. Now you look full of energy and happy and I'm glad you do 😊 keep up the great work, your videos are a treat to watch

[@WDADracVII]

I may have to see if they do a 65% Mecha keyboard. I was going to buy the regular one but after seeing the Mecha... I want one lol.

[@CountCarbsNotCals]

Wonder when that's coming out. Cause i like my arrow keys too.

[@sakshamdwivedi6694]

Good choice

[@Qotroz]

It is a great keyboard if you are just using your PC for browsing the internet and checking mails. But does not have enough keys to satisfy a gamer or content creator.

[@rtk114]

Qotroz, depends what games your playing. The reason many like the mini is you get more room to run the mouse. Many FPS gamers like to move the mouse with their entire arm and not just the wrist.

[@Qotroz]

@@rtk114 I play several different FPS games on low sensitivity and I use an extended steelseries mouse pad that is pretty big, along with a full sized keyboard with numpad and I have at least 5 to 6 cm between my keyboard and mouse pad.

[@papaquonis]

I just got my Ducky One 2 Mini White about a month ago, and it's just such a great keyboard. I was very skeptical about the 60% layout (and I do miss the arrow keys in particular), but I chose to go with it because of how easy 60% keyboards are to customise when it comes to cases and keycaps. I got a wooden case for it and changing it from the original to the new one was shockingly easy, it basically took me 10 minutes. My favourite thing about it (other than the looks - the white keycaps in a wooden case looks super clean) is how the sound has changed in the new case. Typing on it sounds soooo satisfying.

[@thealleyway525]

PapaQ you desoldered every single switch in 10 mins?

[@papaquonis]

@@thealleyway525 That's the point - no desoldering is needed. Remove the keycaps, unscrew 6 screws, move the keyboard internals to the new case, put the 6 screws and the keycaps back in their place and you're done. It was super easy. Unlike full size and TKL keyboards, a lot (not all) of 60% keyboards seem to share the same basic design, when it comes to screw holes, USB connection in the back and even the dipswitch thing at the bottom. It was really easy finding a new case where the Ducky One 2 Mini would fit perfectly.

[@-ATR-]

@@papaquonis Thanks for all these informations ! I just orderer the Ducky One 2 Mini Pure White litteraly 5 minutes before knowing the Mecha exist and I was a little bit upset but now I know that i can easily customize the Ducky One 2 Mini and i'm really happy ! :D

[@SSGGraphics]

How much?

[@kylemckell]

If you don't mind. What Wooden case did you get for it? I'm looking for one myself. Thanks!

[@adammiller8793]

I appreciate that you changed your sound setup to capture the sounds you wanted us to hear.

[@qorinthhh]

how do you get the white floor on the ducky one 2 mini?

[@Oronito]

Why when I try to order this keyboard it tells me “image verification failed timeout or duplicate? Can anyone help?

[@nicolo7789]

You look way too much like star lord from guardians of the galaxy.

[@truthtimetv4575]

Jaemz cahrles every video for years lol

[@hamzahamid2543]

He doesn't resemble Chris Pratt so much.

[@SkyreeXScalabar]

@@hamzahamid2543 I think it's the beard/stubble

[@jesus2621]

And that small plant is groot and ebra is rocket

[@michaelxz1305]

I bet Starlord would use a mechanical keyboard...

[@supr_]

Nice breakdown, I actually received mine a few days ago and love it. My first 60% keyboard.

[@Seemie_]

Where were you able to purchase the mecha?

[@Juke_The_Fluff]

Hardware Canucks. Now with 20% more asmr. I love it.

[@jamesinkpen540]

Can you use fn alt windows and ctrl keys on the right side for keybinds on games ?

[@clapzyboy1879]

My wasd is lit up in random colors no matter what setting I put it on do u know how to fix it?

[@johnschrader7977]

I recently spilled a beverage into my mini and it stopped working. I have it upside down and slanted trying to get the liquid to fall out, but Ik not hopeful. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Or am I just screwed and have to get another keyboard?

[@_recon]

The quality of this video is so good I'm willing to watch the ad...

[@eterofworlds6867]

anyone know what song was used in the intro sequence and also during the video?

[@erikgomez5098]

Was this keyboard suppose to come with backlit spare keycaps? Mine didn’t and the customer support from mechanical keyboards told me it wasn’t. Kinda bummed because I wanted the backlit arrow keys

[@softtack]

Good to see that you're finally reviewing Ducky products after all these years.

[@LukasSkywalker]

Is it guranteed to get the blue key caps cus i really want some blue key caps

[@pas0003]

Good stuff on not talking over the unboxing experience - it is very satisfying watching with the sounds of cardboard and plastic alone.

[@KMaMaa]

no sound test on the space bar or other stabilizers..?

[@Woddeh]

Just put in my order for the Mecha and I have to say while I'm concerned (going from 100% to 60%) about the massive step down in buttons, arrow keys included, it appears as though there are comfortable solutions around most problems most users might have. I hope everyone can get the keyboards they want!

[@sphiinxog6111]

how do you get that "trick or treat" space bar?

[@shq7621]

Does it have a longer response time due to the new floaty design or is it the exact same?

[@Mutio86]

Is there a new version of the One 2(TKL) coming too?

[@williaamlarsson]

A Mecha SF would be amazing, I love my One 2 SF

[@link4946]

where do you get custom keys from

[@Criturbay]

hola,que cambia que entre los modelos por ejemplo brown ,blue,red? solo el color del mecanismo de las teclas?

[@mathismorisseau571]

Its possible to change switchs of mecha mini ?

[@docchowda7087]

How did you get that space bar?

[@reaperboyskull9524]

Where do o buy the keycap spacebar

[@AJCoReTV]

New Mecha arrived & it didn’t come with Shine-through accent caps, as they did with all these older review videos. Not sure why they are doing this now. Any vids showing how to open up the keyboard? I need to add a sound dampening foam, since it sounds terrible vs Venus.

[@suisiders7181]

Just Pre-ordered one today, thanks for the review.

[@Sziklapeti]

My first mechanical keyboard is a Ducky. I love it! Elegant, not over the top gamery look, perfect quality.

[@tomshiba8073]

i really need delete and screen shot button though, can you remap stuff?

[@heathermsmarvel8750]

The ASMR I didn't know I needed

[@antoinelebourhis3600]

Try the relaxing End on youtube. :)

[@young6speed22]

Does the keyboard have case ping due to the aluminum case?

[@remiix2937]

i love the video, love both boards i plan on getting the ducky mecha mini soon i need the blue switches because i like my board to sound loud for sure

[@JoeBerry123]

What is the keyboard with the tiger sticker on the space board 🤔

[@sergioherranz7795]

Is there any 65% keyboard thats wireless, mechanical, and has backlight with the built quality of the ducky ones? Because i wasnt able to find it....

[@darkside.94]

Where do I find this space key?

[@system2967]

How did you get that Halloween space bar

[@jberry1979]

Got mine on the 4th of dec and I love it!

[@PhilipDuePedersen]

Really wish for a Ducky One 2 SF Mecha with normal [altGR, FN] all PBT and a INSERT key on the right. ( above the arrows)

[@ZekeMagnum]

Has anyone here opened the ducky one 2 mini and put a sound dampening material inside the case? is it possible? also thinking of putting 40A o-rings on it. brown switches

[@Rickjames127]

Definitely my all time favorite keyboard. The 65% format does sound interesting though since there are those few games that are easier to play with the arrow keys or their button layout requires it like south park the fractured but whole. Got mine with cherry mx silver switches and couldn't be more satisfied. The Logitech G910 orion I had before this was a close second their switches are also really nice. Still need to test some gateron and kailh switches.

[@ijayy331]

How do you take out the space bar on the keyboard ? I’m not sure how to use the key cap puller with keybord

[@roku4593]

Put the two metal tongues around the keycap and push down until it locks on then pull up. Ik this is a year old but if someone had the same issue they can look at this.

[@boamans1888]

what is that pc tower on the left?

[@justus56787]

This is a gr8 keyboard Looking forward to getting this in these holiday offers

[@7soofym870]

Where can you find this keyboard

[@davidenecsanu2852]

wich keyboard from ducky is the best for you?and what tipe of switch is the best for gaming?

[@greydenpiatek7467]

Is it worth the wait or do I just get og ducky

[@GreyBearedXbowler]

Imagine Ducky making a 65% Mecha with hot swap! Now THAT would be awesome!

[@khickling3746]

does Ducky make any hotswap boards?

[@44revenge]

@@khickling3746 they have the limited edition year of the rat which is hotswappable

[@Cookinainthard]

I absolutely love that watch. Where'd you get that Chris?

[@maxforssell976]

what should i do? buy the ducky one 2 mini or wait to the ducky one 2 mecha coming to sweden? please respond me!

[@chronosstasis568]

Are the key caps a Matte finish?

[@lonelysam]

does anyone know the background music at the beginning

[@TyDesignss]

This or the massdrop alt? Both are similar in price

[@rstarrkk]

Canucks - "listen to these feet" both of us - "nice"

[@dnyyl_3457]

Just ordered it today cant wait to get it

[@DonnieGQX]

If you are a person that likes the arrow keys what are some ways to get around needing to use them. Cause i don''t use them all the time but i do need them. 60% is perfect for me tho.

[@owjianbang01]

Hi Dimitri, have you reviewed the Ducky Mecha SF?

[@Datisookmooi]

I been using the DK9087 since 2014 now and while the wasd may have faded somewhat, the keys still feel amazing.

[@tylancarino2959]

Is this plug and play? Or software required?

[@GeorgeFarren]

I think the reddish tint on white RGB modes has to do with PBT. I have the same issue on my Corsair PBT caps since I swapped out from the stock ones, guessing it refracts out the RGB a bit differently to other materials. Might look different on pure white leds

[@faiqsyahbani]

Just a suggestion...you should test the stabs on each keys in your sound test individually!

[@WarriorsPhoto]

I can tell by the smile that you like Ducky keyboards my friend. Trust me I am sold as well. (:

[@caleblarson994]

how did you get that space bar?? i dont want the year of the pig one they said it would come with

[@caleblarson994]

Takor I know but he got a Halloween theme spacebar for a custom extra

Where do I get this item

[@geeves21312]

Can anyone tell me if there's actually going to be a Ducky One 2 SF Mecha?

[@JamesRussoMillas]

I've had my full size Ducky since way before their 60% boards made them cool. Glad they are finally getting the respect they deserve.

[@Zachary_Cordova]

[@superbarmenia9625]

Steel? You good?

[@cino6173]

Is it available now?

[@FALLENGREATLY]

Hope they make a white SF version but if not hopefully just and SF version would be nice!

[@mtbunny-yt]

wow, Dmitry with glasses! 😍😍😍

[@Minace141]

Just a curious question: How to you guys living with a 60% keyboard deal with the missing F-Keys? They are essential for some games for me and alot of programm-shortcuts use these as well. Thats the reason I never tried going below ten key less.

[@hhaste]

They're still there, you just press FN+1-10,-, and =. Every key is still on a 60% keyboard as a full size, you just have to hit Function (FN) and another key combo.

[@bekalo8370]

Where can i buy it in azerty ?

[@IDontGiveARatzAzz]

Did they really send you that Halloween Spacebar with the Mecha mini? Or were you one if 40 winners during the Halloween giveaway?
