Ducky One 2 SF 65% Review: The Perfect Balance?

[@ElChavoLG]

i just got this keyboard and mine came with the accent keys and they are back lit. I guess maybe ducky listened to the people because when i got the board I was like "Are the accent keys back lit now?"

[@badseedtech]

Oh damn, that’s actually really cool!

[@a011]

Hi, I’m planning on buying this keyboard but I’m not really sure. Is it still in good condition?

Most people want the arrow keys, I just want the dedicated Delete key for entering the BIOS for overclock tuning..

[@SevereMkII]

Yo BadSeed, take the keycaps off, set the keyboard on a flat surface like your countertop, loosen the screws holding the PCB to the case, retighten the screws while holding the case flat on the surface and it will remove the wobble. (having a second set of hands is helpful to keep the case flat)

[@colinbeckstrand2612]

I'm pretty sure the wobble is due to the rubber feet not going all the way to the corner of the case in the top.

[@SirCharles.]

Oh.. I just got it, SF = SixtyFive. Glad to see more 65% keebs, rather than more 60%s. Yes, the arrow keys matter.

another budget 65% board is the drevo calibur v2 that goes for around $55 for outemou switches or around $80 for cherry mx switches.

[@bmcq98]

Bought the mini and returned it. Couldn't live without arrow keys! This the the perfect keyboard for me. Only thing it was missing was volume control but I found you can change the pgUp PgDn keys to be your volume up and down and it's amazing

[@Techgnome21]

I'm happy that I just ordered the one 2 mini. I really only game one my PC so I won't miss the keys you lose. If I ever need arrows and numpad, I've got my full-size Roccat Suora FX.

[@incapaisa]

Hello, I'm back after watching this video a day after it dropped. Ordered and finally got my keyboard after a month. Using it one whole week I love it. Less is Best and the 3 foot leg height is perfect to find a height for you. I got the Silver switches for speed and man they are smooth as butter. I am coming from a Corsair R70 with Cherry Reds and its a great keyboard but huge as fuck. I support and fully agree this board is the real deal and recommend it to anyone. Using "FN" for some keys like F1 or Home becomes 2nd natural after a few days. So you will not miss that extra keypad. I even done some work and you can learn to use the 1 to 0 on the top and use it fairly fast. Its a joy for gaming and enjoy the more space for my mouse to be on low DPI of 400 like CSGO, Apex legends and Overwatch. My accuracy is sharp and I improved immensely and in my frags and K/D ratio. You won't regret it, buy it..and thanks for the review

[@hiphip3553]

@incapaisa Thanks for your opinion. This really helped me decide about purchasing this board! I was also planning on purchasing the Frozen Llama keycap set for this board but realised it has some compatibility issues with the board, do you know of any upcoming keycap sets that will be compatible with this board? Thanks.

[@incapaisa]

@@hiphip3553 not sure about the key caps but the extra key caps that come with it is flavor. I would try to only get "cherry mx" compatible keys but just know getting the keyboard is good and it comes with some keys in the box

Any idea when the one 2 mini sf in pure white is released?

[@kr4zyy]

The black one releases somewhere in September, so it should release either by then or a month/couple weeks from first release

[@TSLMachine]

4:22 I like how you were showing this keyboard when mentioning the Tfue set. Because about a third of the keycaps of that board is textured.

[@noworldforeric]

I'm currently daily driving the Drevo Calibur V2 and I really think you need to take a look into it, if you haven't planned to do so. It's very similar to me to this board and the Durgod Hades 68. I want to purchase both to compare, but I will say this... This board is sooo solid. I quite enjoy it with Gateron Browns.

[@SOLExCARRR]

Love your channel brother. Two of my peripheral buys were because of your review (Ducky One 2 & Model-O). Keep up the good work!

Like my one 2 mini, but now realize I miss dedicated arrow keys. Although this would be a good compromise I can’t appreciate the non standard lower row keys, and slight jump you mentioned when pressing the delete key. I may end up selling it just to get the TKL version. Also, heard a rumor Ducky was showing off metal bases for some of their models. I’d buy a TKL of that in a heart beat.

[@snowrang3r657]

Dude your videos are unreal good... seriously I'm using a Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro S right now, I got it on sale so I don't feel bad about it but I don't like how quickly the ABS caps got shiny. Plus now that I made the jump to TKL want to try even smaller... Looks like a Ducky One 2 SF in my future.

I'm placing a bet the next video is on the mouse you saw in 2 of the b roll shots next to the keyboard. I only got a glimpse but it looks like coolermasters new lightweight holy mouse and I don't see any reviews of it in your video history.

[@mikaelhuostila4005]

Great review as always 👍 Also, when can we expect the review of the Philips Fidelio X2s?

[@JD-ey8hw]

Love ya Brian buts that 2u shift which makes this even harder to find keycaps for. Their decision for that size makes no sense since they could have moved over the arrow cluster and added another key instead of the awkward blank space.

[@pinnyskenis]

Little clarification, the One 2 SF has a 2 unit right shift, not a 1.75 unit meaning it will be even MORE challenging to find a 3rd party compatible keycap set. I don’t know why, but let’s just wait on Ducky’s updated keycap sets

[@ShadVanDenHul]

Ooh, good point. Still, you could sub in a Number pad Zero key.

[@andrezinho176]

been waiting for this video since it dropped! NICE!

[@JagoTFC]

I went from a 10yo Logitech G19 to a "monday will be shipped" Durgod Hades (white with Cherry MX Brown switches). I'm mainly a gamer, I was about to buy the Ducky One Mecha V2 but I don't like ANSI and the Hades is UK ISO, I'll use it as IT ISO. Probably swapping keycaps to Tai Hao's rubber ones. I still type sometimes and when I do I want the best experience. I really liked the Venus but arrows are too good for Excel and text navigation. Actually my choice was more about between the Hades I bought and an IT ISO Drevo Calibur V2, white with MX Browns, which came half the price of the Hades, but since my G19 bought for 150 euros lasted me 10 years it was ok for me to invest the same amount of money. I play games on the couch and I'm a high senser so I'm planning to play games on my laps with one of those laptops cushions. Black keyboards are boring, I really like the retro style with no rgb and also really bright colorful keycaps. It would be outrageously cool to have all my numbers switched to Quake 3 weapon icons!

[@meneerkaas8434]

How long is the cable?

[@DividedStates]

I would love to see a mix of this and the CoolerMaster Masterkey M. A keyboard without F keys, but including a numpad that includes the Navbar the way the Masterkey M does. Combined with good build quality and background light, it would be my dream keyboard.

[@HoangVo7]

[@mrgawne8759]

Durgod imo. But I'm not at all a keyboard enthusiast

[@shaddy.z]

Waiting for your review of the Durgod Hades! Unfortunately it has ABS keycaps, but it uses the TADA68 layout so finding keycaps will be easier than the Ducky One 2 SF. Thanks!!

[@landonecker380]

So which would you prefer a interested buyer to get? The ducky one 2 mini, or the ducky one 2 SF? I would use mine for gaming mostly and typing for school and stuff on the side. Which would be a better choice to get?

Ey yo Brian, is the board scratchy at all? I'm using the Huntsman TE, and I want to go to the SF, but need nice and quiet switches. Your sound test is good, but how's the smoothness?

[@smelliott.__]

good review i was wondering whether to get a TKL or a SF i watched hundreds of reviews and this was the best

[@gavinmargret9144]

What’s a better keyboard? The ducky Miya pro 65% or the ducky one 2 sf?

[@Skellist]

Idk man, I got my Anne Pro 2 with brown Gaterons for $65. The software does its job perfectly, can rebind keys, configure lighting, set up hotkeys, edit function layer binds all very quickly with little effort. It also has the touch layer, which negates any real need for dedicated arrow keys, when you can just touch Alt, Fn1, Fn2 and /? and use those as arrows without needing to hold down a modifier. Not to mention Bluetooth support which does come in handy quite often when I want to move my keyboard out of the way but still be able to use it off to the side. The only issue I have is that the consistency of the RGB LEDs is pretty bad, meaning two static keys set to the same color can look a little different, but personally for me that's minor as I rarely ever even turn the lighting on.

[@Monkeyfist2021]

You're my favourite new KZbinr! Keep up the good work, and yes, I did just buy a ducky one2 mini

[@sebastiangomezbotero7765]

Hey Ive been hearing this new trend "it's flex but dosent matter" on some KZbin reviews, as in the past any flex meant super bad quality, what changed?

[@RunRecoverRally]

Sebastián Gómez Botero I think people realized that keyboard case flex is not a big deal since it shouldn’t be flexing during typing. It’s nearly impossible to make a flex-proof plastic case. The metal plate the switches are attached to provides enough sturdiness so the keyboard won’t wobble during normal typing.

[@sinclair00]

Brian, I can't get enough of your channel! Quality, flow, info, camera work/visuals etc etc is just on point. Keep killing it.

[@ricardo-sf]

if i had waited 4 more weeks to buy a kb i would get the sf -- right now i'm buying a 2nd kb for work and i bought a 65% kb so i can see which one i prefer .. 60 or 65 .. it wasn't a mini since there are features that ducky does not have that i want .. (custom switches for one) .. this is a solid entry for ducky imo. the non-standard keys for the mini sf are not a big deal, keys for 65% kb's are usually included in the extra sets for gb keysets, and alot of times you can find a way to make it work anyways .. the 65% layout on the SF is cramped imo, so i went with a more spacious layout like the clueboard. -- still has non standard keys, (the right shift)

Hey badseed, can you tell what's the length of the cable of Ducky One 2 SF? Also, does the Ducky One 2 Mini and SF have the same cable in general? 60% are not my type of thing when it comes to functionality because I use the arrow keys and delete keys quite often, so 65% looks to be the perfect fit if I don't wanna go down the TKL route.

[@huunhanle3809]

Anne build is more solid than this Ducky version, not to mention Anne have their own software so you can modify your keyboard more than Ducky - and Anne have Bluetooth support too. But 60% form may be a draw back of it since Ducky 65% with arrow keys is more easier to get used to. Not to mention Anne Pro 2 support a variety of switches more than Ducky ( Gateron, Cherry, Kailh box).

[@zeyy84]

@@huunhanle3809 thanks for the input. I might have to go with the Ducky. I've read reviews online and most of them say that the Anne keys sometimes get jammed digitally. So like physically the keys are not pressed down but on the screen the keys are being held down. The only way to fix this is to reconnect the keyboard. The 1 tap arrow keys for the Alt Ctrl Shift and Fn keys is cool tho. The Ducky doesn't seem to have any issues in those reviews

[@ITMacPro]

LOL Ducky might just like to send you warped boards. i don't have issue with hitting the delete key causing any wobble. I like this keyboard size as I rely on the arrows quite a bit in my job.
