Your presentations just keep getting better and better. Thanks to you I no longer am typing on my really old G15 thinking "this is just fine" My gosh, I am now typing on a beautiful and responsive keyboard with greatly increased speed and accuracy, so much fun.

The stabilizers are MX stabs but are made specifically for Ducky’s requirements and they do use a grease on the stabilizer wire, just not the heavy lube you see in customs.

I love the dust cover when I am travelling for more than a couple of days for work. Can't leave behind my trust board at home and go back to the bland mac keys. So, any travel over 2 days, I try to carry the board with me and the duscover makes it easier to do that without any case.

Thanks for this "late" review :) I just purchased a One 2 SF (white RGB), can't wait to get it! As you said, to me, it's a advantage not to have dedicated SW, but included FW. I'm programming on both Linux and Windows computers so I'm sure it will behave the same way. Yes it's not so easy to perfectly customize it, but it's done once for all. I guess having several profiles will be usefull to have tools/SW dedicated macros. It's maybe overpriced for a wired keyboard anyway.

very nice, as a ducky one 2 mini user they already updated the dip switches to a certain keybind. So the physical ones doesnt really work anymore. Just look up the most recent manuals/news to find what specific keys it is

[@thomasmartin9536]

Hello, I'm wanting to buy my first mechanical keyboard, I was looking at buying the Ducky One 2 Skyline fulled sized with Cherry MX switches, I was just about to buy the MX Browns but I did research and everyone is saying they are terrible. I seen videos and they don't sound bad and I'm so confused on what switch I should get, I'm coming from membrane keyboard so would the MX browns be good?

[@zacy-t2771]

How much of an improvement is the ducky one 3 mini? I’m thinking of buying it and it looks pretty good.

I just wanna see your opinion because your so good at reviewing keyboards. :) Oh and should I go for the yellow switches or the blues? I love how loud blues are but the yellows also sound amazing.

did you lube those stabs or are they stock? bc if those are stock they sound really good for stock

[@ahall3823]

There is only one upgrade I'd like on the ducky one 2 mini. It needs the ability to record macro keystrokes at defined intervals (like the TKL or 100% versions). I would really like to have macro keystrokes that can quickly execute a string of commands. In the current form, the one 2 mini can only execute at the same pace you record it at... Surely, surely, ducky can make a firmware update to fix this??

[@rethanon]

I love my Ducky One 2 SF, can't imagine using anything else! :) (it's very similar to the One 2 Mini, obviously just has a few extra keys as it's a 65% version)

[@camil1]

same i ordered it yesterday should get here soon

Hey I was wondering will you make a video about upgrading the Ducky one 2 tkl and it's family in the future? I'm going to get my one 2 tkl and I'm looking forward to upgrade it more. Thanks

[@noface0587]

I feel the ducky in 2021 has a bit of competition coming from mainly the razer huntsman mini when it comes to gaming keyboards and if you do not know which one to pick I would reccomend the ducky for its simplicity but the huntsman is good if you want to go all out

[@Hinagiku2]

Hi! I just got my Ducky One 2 Mini yesterday, for my first 60% keyboard because this video made me feel confident enough to buy one. It's so lovely to use, I got it with the Cherry MX linear blacks for work. And it helps me type since I tend to press a bit hard on my keyboards (my boyfriend likes to complain that I type hard). This will be a fun experience and I just want to say thank you for making such informative and fun videos about your hobby! I can't wait to deep dive into the hobby more!

[@alexmihaibalinga9251]

In my opinion the typing experience is better on Red switches.

[@neilsantiago9124]

Love the board but so hard finding a coiled cable to work with it. Anyone know of one? I wanted Tez but as mentioned in the vid i guess it’s not compatible 😭

[@coastaledge3790]

Finding coiled cables can be expensive cause most of them are custom made if you want them to look good. There’s a couple of good tutorials on how to coil any braided cable you have, you might wanna look into that. I did an eh job on mine but it can save a lot of desk space and looks nice

Kemove is better than Ducky imo. More solid build, has hot-swappable feature, good software and last but not least: Bluetooth supported.

[@TheZax85]

I have two of these... Fell so in love with the layout and feel. Cherry MX Silent Red's for my work keyboard, and Cherry MX Speed Silver's for my gaming board.

[@jonjuice5909]

I recently settled on getting the ducky mecha mini but am unsure of what key switch to get for gaming and typing (between cherry mx red, brown, and Kailh box whites) Any advice is appreciated! I previously used the redragon k552 with outemu reds and I had a typo seemingly on every other sentence. I’m leaning towards the box whites but I’m not sure of how they fair in gaming or if cherry mx reds are that much better for typing than outemus. This will be a one and done keyboard for me (at least for several years) so I’d like to make the right decision. Thanks!

[@hzfa8946]

agreed reds are too fast for me, i would recommend blacks, which make the same sounds as reds, but not as fast, slightly heavier

[@Christian-lt8cu]

Anyone know if you can get this in the U.K.?

Does anyone know the typing angle of the One 2 Mini? I've tried researching on my own but it's not something that is specified by Ducky, and I found a few conflicting sources of information. I saw one source that estimates the typing angle is 3-4 degrees *stock* (no kickstands), and another source that says the typing angle is 3-4 degrees with the first smaller kickstand. It's driving me crazy trying to figure it out.

I have a Ducky. I'm not sure what model, tho. It says DK9087G2 (It's a 10 keyless board) on the back, but I can't find that board on their site and barely any info about it online. I've had it for years now, and it still works wonders. I recently purchased a Keychron model, but the feel just didn't compare and I went back to my trusty Ducky. it doesn't have any of the new features you see on boards nowadays. It's all plastic, it's not hot-swappable, it's got no RBG or any lighting for that matter. It feels nice to type on tho.

[@JayVon_Ro]

Eyy what timing! Just bought a Ducky year of the rat with hotswap! Gonna tear it apart: -New kbd alumn case, 205g0 lubed&filmed robin switches, gmk gold plate stabs with kbd baindaids, kbd pcb foam, ansi 60% brass switch plate, space cables joker cable, esc & space bar artisan koi caps, keeping most of the ducky yotR bounce caps but adding o-rings, and lastly an artisan koi wrist-rest from Drop. So basically just keeping the PCB and pbt caps.

[@prokopf-9332]

I wouldnt be so sure about that. I own one and it has an unstable USB c port. It worked finde for some time, but suddenly it disconnects or doesnt get registered properly by windows, depending on the position of the cable at the usb port. Its very sensitive and i cant move it very much or it dissconects. It seems to be a common issue for the one2 mini if you search youtube.

[@hexvv343]

Maybe I got unlucky with my keyboard, but mine started breaking about 6-7 months after I got it. The rubber grips on the bottom that are supposed to stop it from sliding fell off so I swapped to the higher setting, then even those fell off in about a month. I had certain keys on my keyboard that when I would press them it would type twice and my spacebar would double press randomly many times just after the first 3 months of having it. I am never too rough with my keyboards so it is something that was surprising to me. Personally would not recommend using it because it tends to fall apart fairly fast.

[@raz0gaming]

Could be fake, the known issue for this exact board is it wont turn on when u boot up ur pc, but for the double clicking it might be ur switch that's broken, but usually it will break in 1 and a half year

Hey! I was wondering if someone could help me! I have the ducky one 2 mini and I want to get the banana split switches but idk if the ducky one 2 mini can have the banana split switches! Can someone answer that pls?

[@shuya03]

It's better if you just a hotswap keyboard and buy the switches seperatly since Ducky does not offer those switches. If you really want to put Banana split switches into a one 2 mini then you'll need to take the keyboard apart and desolder the current switches and then solder the new switches on which takes a lot of time and money.
