While it took over 3 months for my keyboard to arrive, I believe this is not the fault of MechanicalKeyboards. With COVID I was expecting delays, and since Ducky keyboards are manufactured overseas in Taiwan (I live in the US), it makes sense the delay was lengthy. Aside from that, I love this keyboard.
I chose Chery MX Brown switches. I wanted a tactile feel and knew Browns were supposed to be that. I was skeptical after placing my order, however, as many people online in the keyboard community showed a general dislike of the Cherry MX Browns. I am happy to say that I personally think they feel amazing to type on. I have used Cherry MX Red switches and green Razer switches in the past and eventually got tired of loud and clicky keyboards. The browns are a great change in feel, especially if you want something that feels more tactile.
The keyboard came in with all black keycaps on the board. They also sent pink keycaps for both return keys, arrow keys, backspace, a letter/number sized keycap with what I believe is a Taiwanese character on it, and a letter/number sized keycap with the Ducky logo. I put the ducky logo on my ESC key.
Many lighting options come pre-programmed into the board. These lighting patterns are similar to the ones you would find in the Razer Chroma Studio and have a good amount of customization with brightness and frequency.
Overall I am very happy with this keyboard and would recommend it to anybody that enjoys using mechanical keyboards. I plan on my next keyboard also being a Ducky one.
I just received the Cherry MX Red version of this board a few days ago and so far I really enjoy it. This is my second Ducky board (I also have a Ducky One TKL Blue LED with Cherry MX Greens). I bought this one for gaming at home as well as for use in an office.
The build quality and look of this board are excellent. It has a nice weight to it and definitely does not feel cheap. I love the feel of typing with the PBT keys and Cherry MX Red switches. So far it has been excellent for gaming. The lighting is also very nice and I prefer it over the Blue LEDS of my other Ducky board. The detachable cord is great for transport as well. Another feature I really like of this one is the media controls above the numpad. That is definitely something I missed in my smaller TKL board.
As for the switches, these definitely feel better than other Cherry MX Red boards I've tried. I would recommend it if you are doing a lot of gaming, as my fingers start to hurt when gaming on my Cherry MX Greens. If you are doing more typing and noise isn't an issue, I'd opt for the Brown or Blue switches over this one, as many say the Reds feel "mushy." But I think the Red switches on this board feel really nice and are perfect for gaming and quiet use.
I've had this beauty for over a year now and I'm forever loyal to Ducky as a result.
This keyboard is perfect in every way. The instructions are clear and easy to follow for customizing things. The settings are always a few buttons away, super easy to access. Blue switches are great, response is flawless, and the best thing, no software is needed.
Per key lighting works wonderfully with customizable brightness for each key, and there are two different profiles that can be saved.
Macro keys are the most useful feature, and six different profiles allow different macro settings to be used swiftly and easily. The per-key lighting settings apply to whichever macro key profile is active.
There are a variety of brightness settings. The detachable cord is super convenient for transport, and the keyboard comes with a plastic cover that helps a lot with keeping dust off the keyboard when it's not being used.
The lights come in various brightnesses, and the lighting is amazing. An RGB is definitely in my future. There's not a single bad thing about this keyboard!
The activation point on the silver cherry mx switches are very fast. It only takes a ~1.2mm tap to get your keystroke through.
As for Ducky's software, you can create a sea of macro keys, decide per-key multilevel lighting in two zones, and more.
As a Dota player who uses alt keys and control keys all the time: With DIPs set to 1010 (which replaces left windows key with FN key), I'll be using fn keys (macro) to map my duties even closer and more comfortably together.
As for the manufacturing, it's very sturdy. There are a few minor problems: the taller feet need to be pulled very hard initially, shaving off some plastic, and then it works fine. They don't include an extra context keycap for those who utilize the DIPs to move FN to the left. The "Cal" button is pretty pointless. There's no speed boost button for the mouse feature, which makes mouse mode a failed feature overall.
Overall great keyboard. If you wanted these features in another manufacturer, you'd pay at least twice the price, and have to deal with a bad, overcomplicated design.
Very good materials and general build quality. PBT keycaps are pleasent to touch. I like it much more than ABS.Excellent typing experience. Better than I've had with cherry mx blue on my other board. Very satisfied with this keyboard.
