The One 2 SF is the Goldilocks keyboard—it doesn’t have too many or too few keys—and it feels great to type on.

The best compact mechanical keyboard

what’s a good %60 keyboard that works with pc and xbox?

 Light weight plastic, but it’s Ducky so it still feels well built. Surprisingly, the silent red switches bottom-out quieter than my MacBook keys.I leave you with my PgDn macro: sleep snug, smug.[1]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www

Keyboard with Trackpad for iPad Pro

 Every key is macro-programmable, and you have to record macros directly on the keyboard since it doesn't have dedicated software. It has full RGB backlighting with individually-lit keys, and it's a very well-built keyboard with doubleshot PBT keycaps. Despite its small size, the keys don't feel cramped,&nbsp;and it offers outstanding typing quality. Unfortunately, its latency is high for a wired keyboard, which might be a dealbreaker for some gamers

Ducky One 2 SF

Ducky is very good in general. I have hyperx x ducky which is a one2mini with hyperx switches. Im very satisfied and can recommend it to anyone looking for a 60% keyboard.

Hey, i was wondering if the 2020 Year Of The Rat is that good? Thanks :)

2020 Year of the Rat

I've had my Ducky one 2 SF since November.  Absolutely  no problems.  Best keyboard I've ever had.

I've owned 2x One 2 SF models and one I still keep (the one I'm typing on right now). Other one had keyboard chatter on N/M buttons, very annoying.

Regarding the fact that it's all on-board and does not have a companion software is a killer feature why I love this KB to this day. You can set macros, lighting, remap keys, kill the caps-lock and have it function as Fn, etc, all without having to install bloat on your PC... and everything remains the same wherever you decide to use the KB - Windows, Linux, Mac, or even another PC. You also have 6 profiles which you can use, each with separate mapping, amazing stuff.

Regarding RGB, you have the built-in presets which you can customize (set speed, color, etc) and you also get 2 separate RGB "Layers" which you can lay upon the built-in presets. This means that you can have a color spectrum built-in preset running, but maybe you want to have WASD as a solid color. Downside to this is that those 2 layers only support "Static" and "Breathing" modes, so you cannot do full rainbow upon reactive keys or similar. I usually have the built-in preset as slow reactive (fading random colors after keypress) and layer some useful function buttons on top of it for night-time usage with static lighting. You also control both the layers and the presets separately if that makes any sense - meaning that you can turn your "custom layers" on/off at will and same for the built-in presets.

All in all, One 2 SF is an amazing keyboard, but you should be aware of the quality control. If you go for it, test for key chatter immediately and return it if you notice any. Hopefully it's only on the SF model range, but you can never be sure.

If you have more questions, I'm happy to reply.

Thinking of going for the Mecha mini myself as the next project. 😅

I am using a Ducky One 2 SF on my gaming rig. The RGB is customized to WASD in red and the rest in blue - so, yes, you can customize the colors of the keys to whatever you want.

Pro: Small size factor (especially the short width of 320mm is cool), existing cursor keys, excellent switches (Cherry Speed Silver), nice keycaps, so far reliable and no issues

Con: I need a wristrest and the Ducky One 2 SF does not have function keys - you have to press FN+1 for F1. I would really like to have the function keys row...

Note the problems other people mention in this thread, but I have the white edition with Cherry mx reds and love it. The PBT keycaps feel great, they throw in a few bonus colorful keycaps and a year of the ox space bar that looks nice. The RGB effects are all done on board without software and look great (tho lack of software isn’t an issue for me it can be annoying to some). I’m very happy with my keyboard and don’t have any complaints, but I also came from a Corsair k70 and wasn’t super into keyboards before buying this ducky one 2 sf. Only thing that I don’t like about it honestly is that if you want to get a new keycap set, the one 2 sf has a 2u shift key plus a 1u alt,menu,Ctrl key to the right of the space bar and not all keycap sets have those so make sure if you want one that it does contain those keys.

I have been typing on the ducky one 2 SF for almost two years now. The key chatter is insane, I use keyboardUnchatter software to solve this issue. It's still very annoying though, because sometimes some chatter still slip through.

What are some pros and cons of the ducky one 2 SF? I’m thinking of getting one and not sure if it’s worth the money. Can i customise the RGB to whatever i want or there’s only a few preset colours

Ducky one 2 SF

Good move, looks great, puddings on my Shine 7 is one of my  favorite looks -- the One 2 is a great keyboard, I keep bringing it to the office...

My new keyboard is absolutely brilliant. Ducky One 2 Pudding RGB TKL, Cherry MX Red

Looking to pick up a quiet keyboard for my kid, wouldn't mind some RBG bling, but they're running linux, so it would need to have either on board memory or be configurable from the keyboard itself(or have linux drivers, which would be great!)



 Would like it to be backlit at a minimum. Doesn't HAVE to be mechanical, but I want them to have a decent typing experience and it's what I was leaning towards(kids a pounder, so I'm also looking for a way to minimize typing sounds! some times it sounds like a woodpecker upstairs!). 


Wired or wireless, no real preference but if it charges over usb, I'd prefer usb-c. Want the numpad for school, so might compromise on built in numpad and go with a separate numpad for that purpose, if anyone has experience with that, I wouldn't mind hearing about it.

couple of the keyboards I've been looking at:


- Cooler Master CK552

- Redragon K582 

- Logitech G610 Orion 

Any other thoughts? Things I'm over looking? 

Thanks You for Your time! It's much appreciated!

Help selecting a quiet budget ($100 usd max) keyboard with numpad for my teenager.

Hello all, I have a question. I plan on building a pc this Christmas and I’m not sure which peripheral to pick up. My pc build is going for a white/ice theme (including rgb) and these two keyboards I have been debating on. I like the look of the Ducky more, but the Glorious would match my mouse (Model O) and the ability to swap out switches/key caps is very useful.

Also on another note, are the cherry Mx brown/ Gateron brown switches good? I’m going for the quiet/tactile route and these switches seem to be the best fit. Thanks for your answers and input!

Ducky One 2 Mini or Glorious Gmmk Compact?

I just bought the Ducky one 2 SF, still waiting to be shipped... it’s compact 65% and It has the arrow keys. Not as compact as the one in your link but it’s a good keyboard.

If I search for "keyboards for small hands", I get keyboards that are missing keys.  And that's what everyone seems to mean in the industry be "small keyboard".  Where do I get a normal keyboard layout that simply has all of the buttons \*slightly\* smaller and closer together, so I don't have to reach so far all the time with my itty bitty fingers while typing long essays?  


Basically something like this, except with all the standard keys, and that I could actually buy:

<p>I am looking for a keyboard that has all of its alphanumeric keys closer together than the almost-universal 19mm &quot;unit&quot; size.   Please do not recommend keyboards that use 19mm unit sizes for the keys!</p>

<p>If I search for &quot;keyboards for small hands&quot;, I get keyboards that are missing keys, OR that have rearranged them to have less empty space (such as between the arrow keys and detel/end/pgdown).
