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?

[@nobody5197]

The rgb looks so clean and full no hotspots even on the black keyboard. A must buy for me in the future :D

[@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.

[@IcarusLIVE]

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

[@SirCharles.]

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

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.

[@colinbeckstrand2612]

I like that you didn't make a frozen llama review. It definitely didn't need another dedicated review. Quality content man.

"Or slightly worse about your recent decision..." I just got my One 2 Mini TODAY! LOL. Lovin' it. Great review, BP!

[@MatrixMaze]

How do you not have at least a mil? Great review

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

Thanks for the review. Excellent content and production/presentation. I was just looking at some of the new budget 65% keyboards and then you release this video? Now I’m interested in an Aluminum case Ducky SF...

[@caiowen9591]

Hopefully one day soon it will happen

[@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

[@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.

[@gavinmargret9144]

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

[@nWo_remiix]

im sooo glad i waited for the ducky mecha mini to drop its perfect 60% board (my first 1) feels great like you said in an earlier video its really small but i love it great content for sure

[@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!

[@JohanMJDJ]

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?

[@mgurcanli]

This whole video was just so chill, great stuff man really enjoyed watching

[@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.

[@andrezinho176]

been waiting for this video since it dropped! NICE!

[@JVisuals239]

[@FrostPhoenix_]

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.

[@thedinotamergaming]

What´s the best flat-key keyboard in your opinion? Preferably with a palmrest.

[@FUZ2706]

Really good quality video, great shots, information was straight to the point. Great beard too xD

[@smelliott.__]

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

[@harbscantina]

Hoping you or someone else can kindly answer this for me...at 4:23 the colour scheme on the keys for that keyboard...if I wanted to replicate that what would I need to get?

[@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.

[@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.

[@sta]

love ur reviews

[@thesmithmyth8230]

What mouse are you using? It looks great.

[@Sgtpepperhands]

So I don't know if you can release this info or if you even know, but I tried to look it up and can't find when the Ducky Mecka Mini is coming out. I bought myself a One 2 Mini in black and really wanted to buy myself a Pure white edition, but I don't want to buy one and then the Mecha Mini comes out shortly after. Do you know when it is coming out or a timeframe to expect it?

[@mrgawne8759]

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

[@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.

[@zeyy84]

How does this compare to the Anne Pro 2? I'm a few days old in the mechanical keyboard world, and I'm clueless lol

[@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

[@Moxglez]

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.

[@axlexzero1967]

You think with the new firmware for the SF keyboard will be Razer chroma compatible since they do have a partnership?

[@BowdenRogers]

@BadSeed Tech where’d you get those purple rubberized, I’m thinking about getting a ducky from MechanicalKeyboard and I looked at there website, and I didn’t see them, it would be create if you could give me this info.

[@Distinct845]

Patiently waiting for a company to do a 65% hot swappable keyboard.. there are so many different switches out there that I want to try but I don’t want to commit to buying new board every time something catches my eye. As always, great review appreciate the insight.

Much love badseed tech

[@anthonyp3113]

When can we get a review for your novelkeys pad??

[@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.

[@taylordalton5492]

so other then the right shift and the bottom row all the keycaps are normal size?

[@TheNamesBettyNyahhh]

Dude, you gonna be taking a look at the Keychron K2?

[@mshawnlane]

How well does this work with a Macbook Pro? I am about to order one. Thanks for any information!

[@ocjadan]

Shawn Lane i just got one for my mbp. Two things to note. 1. Whenever the mbp checks for system updates the keyboard will go unresponsive and a single row of keys will light up, the only fix is to unplug and plug back the power cable ( not lying you can google search this). 2. Like most built for windows keyboards I remapped the alt key to cmd in system preferences. Other than those 2 things I love my 2 SF with mx silent reds!

[@93_renegade]

My original ducky one 2 mini space bar randomly double clicks every couple of words.. Like so when you're typing out sentences some spaces with have double/triple spaces when i only hit the spacebar once. Does firmware update help with that or does that just mean it's shot?
