![]() I wanted a solid, silent TKL keyboard for the office and thus opted for the MX Silent Red switches. It feels so great, I want to keep typing and typing and typing but this review has already gone on for too long. It's just the perfect amount of friction. It actually helps keep my fingers on the keys without any sliding motion. (I have six total Ducky boards here, but this is my first "One 2.") I don't know if it will wear off with time, but it feels great for now. There's an interesting texture on these keycaps that my previous Ducky boards lacked. ![]() (Regardless, always read the Ducky manual. If you're connecting it to a USB2.0 port, read the manual as the power settings need adjusted. Another difference is that the bottom of the new board is white, which creates a very simple and yet stylish aesthetic that the original Ducky One lacked. Black replacement keys come in the box, too, in case you prefer a solid black style keyboard. The new board, a "Ducky One 2 TKL RGB," comes with a pink colored enter, back, shift and arrow keys. I've moved it to my wife's computer where it'll last forever, I'm sure. The Ducky One TKL Blue was (and still is) pretty amazing. Upgraded from an original "Ducky One TKL Blue LED" (not RGB, only blue.) MX Cherry Brown switches on both. Ducky attempted to correct this with 3 LEDs underneath the space bar, sounds like a dead LED.ĭocking 2 stars for the keycaps as i have to buy an entire new set of key caps to really show this thing off. complaining about the half-lit space bar, I have the YOT pig on it as well and it is fully lit, but as that individual mentioned it is a little dim in certain spots. Gonna get another set of Razer PTB keys for this keyboard. I threw on some Razer PTB upgraded keys from another keyboard and they shine through better. LEDs are surprisingly dim this may be the reason why the key cap letters don't shine through well, coupled with the shotty double shot for the back light letters. Lighting in most of the lettering of keycaps are not even, meaning you can clearly see dim spots in parts of letters on the key caps, this can be seen in the product images, specifically the Home, button area or any keys thats have more than 1 character. Had scuffs on some keys right out of package expect to wait at least a month to get your keyboard. As long as you don't touch the Fn key, it's a regular keyboard. I am so happy that the Ducky keyboards don't have any features such as this. I can't tell you how many times I hit that accidentally while playing a VR game, only for my keyboard to be completely locked out. When I would accidentally hit this while playing a game, it completely disables your keyboard until you press the "end" key. My old keyboard was very similar in many ways, but it had the scroll lock and pause keys configured to do some sort of timer feature that I never used. My one nit with it is that certain things, such as the brightness, don't appear to work, or it doesn't do a good job of explaining where that is used. It's something you do once in a while and then forget about it. The fact that you can do all of that directly from the keyboard without software is great, but you'll never remember most of the commands. Configuring the keyboard per the manual is a little tricky. I'm only using the solid lit mode and it works great for that. The included software is simple and does the job of setting the basic LED colors. Again, this isn't important in the big picture, but worth mentioning. I've tried adjusting the color, but it just doesn't look white. One other complaint is that although I have mine set to white, and it has a very slight green/blue tint to it. Setting the keyboard to USB 3.0 Power Mode fixed the issue, and I have no issues with the brightness anymore. The LED lighting is a secondary feature, but it was hard to read some of the characters in a brightly lit room. My keyboard came set to USB 2.0 Power Mode, and I was initially disappointed by the lack of brightness, to the point of thinking of returning it. Not a big deal, but something to be aware of. They are readable, but there are dark areas in some of the letters. Regarding the LED lighting: The PgDn, Pg Up, Home, Del, and Pause keys lettering is not consistently bright. ![]() My old keyboard used Cherry MX Blue switches also, but something about the build of this keyboard that just feels great. I just can't describe what it is exactly. I've been using mine for almost a week at this point, and I like it even more every time I use it. The keys feel great, both the feel of the keycaps and the key presses. Includes either Year of the Rat or Year of the Ox spacebars.Supports RAZER Chroma Broadcast, Ducky Macro 2.0, and Ducky’s newest RGB software.10 additional PBT Double Shot colorful keycaps (Random color).Primary: Black Double Shot PBT with Backlit (clear) legends.
