Dude, thank you for this review. You covered details about this board that no other reviewer bothered to. I've since ordered it and absolutely love it.

[@Alckee]

Over-simplification: It's a metal mini. In-depth details: It has angles

[@elguapo42]

I have built 2 custom boards and also used desoldered and lubed browns on an Anne Pro 2 and not sure why the obsession with Ducky. Iv never owned one but when i watch reviews i just dont know what is so different about it to the Anne Pro... but that metal case does look fly af

received one and I modded it by putting sound foam in the case and I lubed the switches carefully. I am pretty sure this competes with some high end custom keyboard. it feels and sounds incredibly premium. I highly recommend doing this it literally takes the product to a whole other level!!!!

Would this work for the frozen llama collab and what do you recommend for sound foam

[@davecrawford9474]

Great video as always, dude. For those looking to buy this product right now, it may be worth your while knowing that I bought this and it was delivered to me today but sadly it came with the additional coloured keycaps not being shine-through. They are opaque, as per in the standard One2 Mini. Specifically, this is a UK ISO layout with Silent Red switches.

[@louisgarbour2737]

A quick thing: Zinc oxide isn't a metal, in the same sense that rust (iron oxide) or sapphire/ruby(aluminium oxide) aren't metals. It does have that metallic feel of being cold to the touch though, due to it being a good conductor of heat.

[@rhythmiccamp7680]

If you're on the radio talking, I would tell that it's The Rock reviewing a keyboard.

[@nocherlas]

found you by accident when looking for good mechanical keyboards... 2 weeks later, no keyboards purchased but i've literally watched all your keyboard and tech videos you're hilarious dude

[@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?

[@robohobo2980]

4:44 Wait. That's illegal

[@ZekeMagnum]

copy strike!!

[@willsi]

I truly wish they'd release the case for purchase individually. I think they'd sell more than they could imagine of it.

[@johnnygauna5931]

I just bought this keyboard, I don’t regret it at all. I think I would recommend it to anyone. Even though it’s not hot swappable. There are plenty more ways to customize your keyboard. I want to get lubricant and just lube the switch’s without desoldering. So it works out in the end. I strongly agree with “I wish this keyboard was hotswappable” but I don’t think that should make you not buy this keyboard. It’s fantastic in every other section. The ducky one 2 mecha mini could go beyond where it is now if it was hotswappable. Fantastic job ducky😎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@thathorrorshow4126]

0:10 he didn't even asked this time guys, but let's go!

[@ChiefBrianIrons]

New to mechanical keyboards just quick question i can't decide between Ducky one 2 mecha or the massdrop ATL. Price wise Ducky will cost me 141 euros while the ATL is 152. The issue for me not pulling the trigger on ATL is stabliser and double tap issue. Want to get the MX brown keys. Then other hand it would be great to have dedicated arrows key. Hot swappable is not a big deal for me. What key to me is build quality. Man it tough one decide between the two any advice.

[@carribean71]

Same question

[@ChiefBrianIrons]

I ended up buying alt with halo clears it ended up cheaper than the Ducky mecha. I release how much dedicated arrows keys are really important to me as I use them alot. Plus if I don't like the switches I can always swap them out later on. I never had the chance to test MX browns as the stores where I live only have keyboards with red switches.

[@bruhhurb8676]

My blue accent keys are not shine through for some reason

[@Takkion]

I understand that it's USB-C that plugs into the board but does it exit in normal USB?

[@charlieterrell8501]

6:01 what does he mean by the arrow implementation on the Anne Pro?

[@bluebutt6672]

If you tap the keys on the bottom right corner of the Anne Pro 2, it acts like arrow keys.

[@charlieterrell8501]

Blue Butt you mean the hold Fn and then wasd are arrow keys?

[@rickyc5860]

i have ONE problem with the keys...it's very minor but can greatly affect people that use it for typing. When replacing caps for arrow ones. The J is missing the dot or indention so you can feel the position of your hands!!!!!!!!!

[@Red.exe7]

Hotswap is nice, but nothing beats a nice quality solder.

[@alexp3577]

Can't wait for Ducky Mecha SF with silent reds, but I hope they use a proper 68 keys layout with 1.75u shift and 1u ctrl so that the keyboard looks cleaner

This board now offers a selection of Kailh switches so you're not stuck with just Cherry options.

[@KindOldRaven]

Have had mine for a few days now, it might not be the cheapest mech keyboard I've had, but man am I glad with this one. It's very, very nice to use, feels solid and looks great! Macros take some getting used to and I still prefer software over this way of doing things, but it's very reliable. Very pleased with the upgrade!

[@Xype]

I bought this keyboard but I will receive it in the start of January. I was really hyped about it, untill I saw a comment on some review I can’t remeber which. But the person said he had a keyboard much alike and over the year it became rusty? So you guys think that would happen with the ducky?

Yo is durgod hades 60 still dropping a updated version?

[@badseedtech]

I think the units shipping now are revised a bit in layout but I'm not sure if they've started shipping with PBT caps yet.

Does it always include the year of the pig spacebar on this model? Just wondering. :)

[@skulfff]

Good thing I saw this video before actually buying the ducky one 2 mini thanks BP

[@sadovskymatt]

How to get blue additional keycaps instead of red?

[@ZEPL0]

Do you think a regular One 2 Mini pcb would fit in the new aluminum case? If so that would be awesome if they sold just the case with a competitive price point like $40-$50

[@AdrenLnFueledScholar]

I have loved my One 2 mini..! I went with the cherry MX silvers! Seeing this version of my already favorite keyboard! Yeah I’m in! Thank you Brian!!

[@Rsalz]

Every rgb keyboard should do what the ducky does, use clear switches for better rgb lighting. Ive been using razer boards for a few years now and I wish the led was a bit more pronounced between the keys. Just seems like you can only see the light through the letters. Makes using pudding caps that much better.

Hi great vid but I have one question. I have the ducky one 2 mini already and I want to buy the mecha soo bad but I don’t want to spend my money and then they come out with a hot swap board. Do you think I should but it or should I wait

[@davidparraflrealtor]

So is there going to be a white mecha version???????

[@storage-space4927]

I am torn, looking to get a unique 60% for gaming. This or the Vortex pok3r slim? I love the look for the pok3r but also the look of this keyboard. I am a cherry red fan so either one has the switches. Badseed I have watched your review and know your love for the ducky, but what do you think for gaming? Mecha or vortex slim? Unique boards for sure. Thanks again for all the great content!

[@oof-ih8ok]

hey do you know if ducky would release a year of the rat keyboard? like how this and the one 2 mini has the year of the pig, do youthink they will make another with the rat. idk why im so obsessed with the rat, probs cos i like rats. Thanks!

1:26 cast aluminum is actually the cheapest and weakest method of forming aluminum, leading to an unnecessarily heavier product. They claim that they use a cast to get those shapes and angles but CNC milling can also do the same, just cost more but will result in a higher quality product. For reference, Apple's products are milled from a single block of aluminum while sports cars use forged aluminum wheels, not cast aluminum wheels.
