this channel is underrated when watching you are interested in the review and also relaxed
Glad you enjoy it!
yea gives me asmr vibes which is good lol great work 😄
Super useful review. Covered literally everything I had questions about at a good pace. Thank you!
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.
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.
Thank you so much! Glad to know I helped someone out
Damn the production quality of your videos are getting soooo good! Wish you the best of luck!
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.
I like it how she is so calm and she points out everything in the ducky One 2 mini
ive been watching lots of reviews for the past months, yours are still the best
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.
Great review. The Ducky One 2 Mini was my gateway drug. Keep it up.
I know what to get for my first real mechanical keyboard thanks to you, so thanks! The switches sound good too, I was unsure of what I should choose prior to this. Easy sub!
Glad I could help!
Hi! New to mechanical keyboards and all the magic, so I've watched a lot of your vids recently! I bought my Keychron because of you 😊👋
Great to hear!
doc bon? haha
@@regrr1774 gasp! hahaha
Pro tip: always have the plastic on so the board never gets dust on it

I love your content! This helps me out a lot with my view on keyboards, and helps me learn more! Thank you! I am trying to figure out what custom/diy keyboard I would like to buy. At the moment I have a 20 off brand keyboard lol. So I want to go from crap to “fancy”. Do you think the Glorious gmmk pro is a good choice? Thank you!
the gmmk pro is ok but a tofu is good to
if you want a pretty good stock keeb I recommend the Vissles V84 but if your going custom the gmmk pro is nice. just know what switches you want.
kbd67 lite
I have this as my first smaller board in silent red. I want to get a 65% next what would you recommend?
I have the Ducky one 2 sf and i live it Also: the sf and mini are very similar the sf just have arrow keys
How do you only have 100k?!? Very underrated channel. Definitely will be subbing. Just bought my Ducky SF and I will say that this video definitely has me prepared!
Did you do a review on gk61? If not you should. I’ve watched ALOT of reviews because I’m thinking about buying it and they have all said it’s 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.
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??
The Anne pro next please! Your reviews are so helpful
the anne pro is good too i like it :)
Yes plsss, would love to hear her opinion abt thr Anne Pro 2!
@@hannerzf Are you personally using the Anne Pro 2?
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!
In my opinion the typing experience is better on Red switches.
The ducky one 2 mini is my first 60 percent keyboard. After looking at a million reviews and rankings, i found this, your videos are on point, and say everything without prejudices. It’s coming today. Can t wait!
Love your vids, I subbed! Also this is my forst gaming keyboard I am looking into buying… what switches would you recommend?
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)
same i ordered it yesterday should get here soon
I finally ordered it today! It’s gonna be my first keyboard! Thanks A Lot For This Review Betty, It really helped a lot! I got the mx blues tho and im gonna overlube those to get rid of the clickyness
Glad I could help!
Great Review!!!! But that music should be played at my funeral.
How much of an improvement is the ducky one 3 mini? I’m thinking of buying it and it looks pretty good.
Just bought one of these on eBay, it's honestly great so far
Man, your audio is on point!
Super underrated and wonderful channel. Love your content!
Thank you so much 😀
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
did you lube those stabs or are they stock? bc if those are stock they sound really good for stock
whats the Bluetooth adaptor you are using at 11:00 ?
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
I'm new to the world of mechanical keyboards and am really enjoying your channel. A non-keyboard question -- I've noticed how the quality of your videos has improved lately. What did you change in your setup? New camera, lighting? Thanks and keep up the great honest reviews.
Same everything, just moved things around and added a desk
Great review. I'm between the ducky one 2 mini and razer huntsman mini.. Personal opinion which would you prefer?
amazing review. absolutely amazing, thank you for this.
Underrated Chanel! I stand by that
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
Hey! I'm about to buy the Ducky one 2 mini myself but I'm not sure if it'll sync up with wallpaper engine. If I choose a wallpaper then I want my keyboard to fit to the colorscheme without me having to set up everything. Or can I just use the rgb of the keyboard itself?? Pls help
I was looking at the Ducky One 2 TKL version. Is this the same as the Ducky one 2 Mini just in TKL layout?
Anne pro 2 or this for fps games ? Also what switches got the gk61 with red switches and not really enjoying the switches came from a huntsman mini so that could be why
Love your voice!!
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?
So I binged watched 99% of your videos in the last week.. so glad there's a new one today 🖤
Hahahahaha that's a LOT of videos
Hi! What brand of best mech keyboards out there that are plug and play? I’m looking for one because I’m not into softwares and what not. Thanks!
I just purchased one thanks to this video, very satisfied with the board. Thank you switch and Click
enjoy!
Just bought one thanks to your review! subbed
My dad bought me one in Taipei since it was unavailable in the states. 5 years later and it’s still amazing!!
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.
Picked this up today. Great keyboard am happy with it. I upgraded from the hyperx alloy fps mainly because I wanted a smaller keyboard
Glad you like it
u actually did the same lol
I did the same my b
plz someone help me i have this keyboard and i want a shortcut on how to pause and play music on spotify or just in general when im not tabbed into the music streaming app i used to be able to do it on an old 80% keyboard i had and i want the same thing on this because i hate having to tab out just to change music i want to have a key bind to just switch and pause and play music
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.
Danggg, niceee mods
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Many thanks! Thou I must say what an expensive hobby. Glad there is a great community out there to share in the experience with! And thank you for hosting said community in a way that amps me up to do more :)
Damn, Lester from GTA 5 sponsored your video? That’s huge.
I've been debating on buying this for a few months now!! Thanks :D
Glad I could help!
just bought the keyboard and its great thx for the review keeop it up
Could you do a video where you mod the ducky. I would love to see that, i have an old ducky and it where with some cherry mx silent reds and they where super scratchy and pingy🤩
Really chill video, subbed :)
Nice keyboard. Why MX black and does it work with Linux?
YOur vids have gotten so much better
keep up the work with your videos it really helped me chose what keyboard i want.
Glad I could help!
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.
What are the white keycaps in the thumbnail called and where can I get them.
I'm switching from a 2014 Razur Blackwidow Ultimate and I found this useful.I am now waiting on my Ducky MX Brown.
I’m waiting on my silvers I’m so excited
hey bought. keyboard today, could you say there is a fault when the keyboard lights do not go out if the machine is turned off? the key test switches were OK. shortcut keys turn off but why not automatically
this video is the reason why I'm into mkeyboards now
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!
agreed reds are too fast for me, i would recommend blacks, which make the same sounds as reds, but not as fast, slightly heavier
I ordered mine 3 days ago, how long will it take to arrive
I love these video's!
Youre pfp is from mha and his hero name is sun eater

Hi! Just want to ask what is worth it to buy? Ducky one 2 SF or Kemove snowfox? Originally I want to buy Anne pro 2 but I found Kemove and ducky so Anne pro 2 was removed on the list.
Kemove is better than Ducky imo. More solid build, has hot-swappable feature, good software and last but not least: Bluetooth supported.
I got one of the mecha minis with cherry black switches, its' now my travel board and goes with my laptop everywhere
hey switch and click i plnning to buy this keyboard but i dont know witch switched to use =(
I love the ducky but I want something as better as a Ducky(Maybe with bluetooth too :p) and also buy a Razer Viper Mini on that price. Any suggestions?
Nice video also I've never tried cherry browns and are they good I've heard there bad
Hey Switch & Click i have this keyboard i had this when it was a 2020 October it’s still pretty clean.
Really huge help!
i have one and use it everyday and game for 4 hours every night after work and honestly has been great and have yet to have a single issue
Hey I'm about to buy one and do you know if there is a difference between Ducky One 2 Mini and the Ducky One 2 Mini v2 because the color I want is on the v2. Thanks if you are still responding to comments.
Lol
The latency on the Ducky One 2 Mini V2 is much higher than on the Ducky One 2 Mini V1, and it might be noticeable while playing fast-paced games.
@@clut_ why would latency increase with a next generation? What actually changed?
I got an used one for around 60 (50% off) and i love it!
Really wow I’m gonna get one for 45$!

How long is the cable that comes in the box?
when i lay my finger on a key and i move it the key moves a bit any advice ?
Ahhhh.... I think the Ducky One Two Mini is calling me once again... I've customized and sold 3 of them, all with different switches and themes!! Another great video Betty!
wowwww, that's a LOT of Ducky One 2 Minis
Thanks I’m gonna get one for Xmas hopefully and I did not know if I should’ve got this or a different one
If i could find one in the UK, I would buy it for sure. Literally every site is out of stock for about a year now which shows the quality of this keyboard
EBay !
In Soviet Union every product such quality, tovarish.
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.
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.
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

Epomaker makes pretty decent boards for the price.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Okay, thank you!
